When I, a layman, think of clay I wind up thinking of all the horrible clay-like dirt that's stupid hard when dry but gets all gunky and over everything when wet, that you then have to basically get wet again to wash off. After that I think of pottery classes where you use wet clay to mold it.
I suspect both of those go into consideration when having clay stuff be weak to water. I also echo a clay Pokemon should get well-baked body at one point.
Also, as a layman, I think of how sand is just constantly sifting through your hands and stuff, but wet sand is great for making sand castles and entombing people. It might be brittle and still easy to break apart but when you're now able to treat it like a solid and are going for the vibe, makes sense to me.
Thank you both Starter Deck 100 andthe decision to have a bunch of Z-A themed cards in reprint sets (or "set", as SD100 is) since you couldn't align a proper one.
Maybe there'll even be more Boss's Orders in the other Starter Decks, that'd be fun.

Was thinking about the TCG recently, and I think it's a shame that the Boss's Orders cards only got 4 renditions: Giovanni, Cyrus, Ghetsis & Lysandre.
Lysandre wasn't even the last one of them, it was Ghetsis.
You'd think maybe it was because they wanted to let it rotate out, but they gave it a promo to reset legality on it...and it was the SV era one again so it was just Ghetsis.
Just seems like a lost opportunity, it'd be a fun excuse to give the various remaining leaders another round of full arts and maybe SIRs.
Still baffled that the "generations" promo decks decided the one to pair alongside Professor's Research (the only "exclusion" would be Sonia but that's fair enough I think) was a new card for... the Black Belts. Would have been the perfect time!
