5 facts about this card
Blastoise is one of the original fully evolved Kanto starters and is especially iconic because it appeared on the box art for Pokémon Blue, giving this Expedition card instant nostalgia for early Game Boy fans.
Expedition Base Set was the first main expansion in the Pokémon TCG e-Card Series, so this Blastoise comes from the moment the game shifted into the e-Reader era with scannable card strips.
This specific card, Blastoise 36/165, is the non-holo rare version from Expedition, making it a distinct collector piece alongside the holo Blastoise in the same set rather than just a lower-grade duplicate.
Expedition Blastoise was illustrated by Hiromichi Sugiyama, a Creatures, Inc. artist whose credited Pokémon work spans the TCG and even 3D modeling roles in games like Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
Sugiyama’s Expedition portfolio is stacked with heavy hitters, and Bulbapedia lists Blastoise and Charizard among the cards he illustrated for the set, which adds extra appeal for collectors who chase artist-linked classics.
