Grapploct

Grapploct in the anime

Grapploct debuted in Solitary and Menacing! under Bea's ownership, defeating the Karate Master's Hitmonchan, then served as her second Pokémon against Ash's Riolu in a World Coronation Series battle, which it won, and it has since made multiple reappearances.

Grapploct on cardboard

Grapploct's earliest card was a Sword & Shield Rare illustrated by Shin Nagasawa, followed the same year by two Grapploct V cards in Champion's Path, a Holo Rare and an Ultra Rare, both by PLANETA Igarashi. Vivid Voltage, Shining Fates, Chilling Reign, and Fusion Strike each added further printings before the Scarlet & Violet era brought Paldean Fates and Surging Sparks.
