Blastoise [Shadowless] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Blastoise became one of the most iconic cards in early competitive Pokémon TCG because its Rain Dance Pokémon Power let Water decks break the usual one-Energy-per-turn pace and flood the board with attachments.
Set Lore
This Shadowless print comes from the earliest English Base Set era, a distinctive run Bulbapedia documents separately from later Unlimited copies, which is why collectors treat Shadowless holos as a special slice of Pokémon TCG history.
In-Game
Blastoise feels especially fitting as a Base Set chase because it was one of the original final starter evolutions from Pokémon Red and Blue and famously appeared on the box art for Pokémon Blue.
Artist
The artwork is credited to Ken Sugimori, the defining visual architect of early Pokémon, and Bulbapedia lists him as one of the foundational TCG illustrators whose work began in Base Set itself.
Card History
Collectors also love this card because Hydro Pump and Rain Dance both tie directly into Blastoise’s game identity—Bulbapedia notes Hydro Pump is one of its learnable moves, while Rain Dance later became a move Blastoise could learn in the video games too.
