5 facts about this card
Card History
Blastoise-EX #142 is the Full Art version from the very first main XY expansion, giving this card a special place at the start of the Mega Evolution era in the Pokémon TCG.
Artist
This specific Full Art printing is illustrated by Ryo Ueda, while the regular XY Blastoise-EX used different artwork by Eske Yoshinob, making #142 the standout collector-focused art variant from the set.
Set Lore
The XY expansion launched in English on February 5, 2014 and was the first main XY Series set, debuting Generation VI cards, Mega Evolution mechanics, and even the Fairy type.
In-Game
Blastoise’s collector appeal runs deep because it was one of the original fully evolved Kanto starters and the cover Pokémon of Pokémon Blue, tying this card to one of the franchise’s most iconic pieces of box art history.
Card History
Blastoise also carries anime nostalgia, appearing as Gary Oak’s partner in the TV series, which helps cards like this feel connected to one of Ash’s most memorable rivalries.
