Binacle evolves into Barbaracle at level 39. It is always found as a pair living in a single gray rock, needing to cooperate to survive, and gets around by flexing both bodies to haul the rock along in hops; it eats seaweed that washes up on the shoreline.
Binacle made its animated series debut in Unlocking Some Respect, with its two bodies owned separately by Locke, who calls his half Lefty, and his mentor Ed, who calls his half Righty. A Binacle also appeared in A Festival Reunion, caught by Goh in Kalos.
Binacle's first card appeared in Flashfire, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, followed by Roaring Skies and Fates Collide. Forbidden Light, Rebel Clash, and Lost Origin continued the line with art from Yuka Morii and Scav, and the Mega Evolution era added a Perfect Order Common illustrated by nagimiso.

The value of Binacle cards is concentrated at the top: the most valuable Binacle card is the Common from Forbidden Light in 2018, and it sits 1.9 times ahead of the next card. All 8 of the 8 Binacle cards carry a market value, and they span 2014 to 2026. Among the most valuable Binacle cards, the Forbidden Light Common is followed by the Fates Collide Common from 2016 and a Promo from MEP Black Star Promos in 2025.
Binacle card value starts with the Forbidden Light Common from 2018, which is 1.9 times the next card. That runner-up is the Fates Collide Common from 2016, and in 3rd place is the Promo from MEP Black Star Promos in 2025. Further down, the Flashfire Common from 2014 holds 4th and the Roaring Skies Common from 2015 holds 5th. Apart from the one Promo, every leading Binacle card is a Common.
Binacle cards come entirely from modern eras. Of the leading eight, 3 are from XY, 2 from Sword & Shield, 2 from Mega Evolution and 1 from Sun & Moon. The newest era's leader is the MEP Black Star Promos card from 2025, which sits 3rd overall. In both the top ten and the top twenty-five the split is 8 modern and 0 vintage, where vintage means the WOTC era and modern is every later era.
The rarities among the leading Binacle cards are 7 Commons and 1 Promo, and widening to the top twenty-five gives the same counts. The Promo is the MEP Black Star Promos card from 2025. The Commons include Forbidden Light, Fates Collide, Flashfire, Roaring Skies, Perfect Order, Rebel Clash and Lost Origin printings.
By the value of its single leading card, Binacle ranks 995th of 1020 species with priced cards. In its evolution line, Barbaracle ranks 780th of 1020 by the same measure. Binacle cards therefore sit toward the lower end of the species market, with a market built on Common printings from XY through Mega Evolution and a single Promo.
