5 facts about this card
Celebrations’ Classic Collection deliberately brought back iconic cards from Pokémon TCG history, and Blastoise appears there with its original Base Set card number, making this pull feel like a direct callback to the hobby’s earliest chase era.
Blastoise is one of the original fully evolved Kanto starters from Pokémon Red and Blue, and its status as the cover Pokémon of Pokémon Blue gives this card extra nostalgia power for longtime collectors.
Blastoise was one of the first true Pokémon TCG icons because the original Base Set version introduced the famous Rain Dance strategy, so a Celebrations reprint instantly resonates with players who know early competitive history.
Blastoise also carries anime prestige, appearing as Gary Oak’s partner in the Pokémon TV series, which helped cement it as one of the franchise’s most recognizable powerhouse evolutions beyond the games.
Although this Celebrations card recreates classic-era Blastoise, Aya Kusube’s involvement elsewhere in the TCG is beloved by collectors because her storybook-like style has been part of Pokémon since the late 1990s.
