5 facts about this card
This exact Wartortle card appears as #42/100 in EX Crystal Guardians, and Bulbapedia notes that the same artwork/card was also distributed as a promotional giveaway during the 2006–2007 Pokémon TCG State/Province/Territory Championships, giving this design extra ex-era collector history.
EX Crystal Guardians was one of the ex-era sets released with Reverse Holofoil versions, so the reverse-holo printing of Wartortle is part of the distinctive stamped reverse tradition many collectors associate with mid-2000s Pokémon cards.
Wartortle’s Bubble and Tackle attacks on this card are both moves it can learn in the video games, making the card feel especially faithful to the in-game version of this Stage 1 classic.
Wartortle’s long, furry tail is repeatedly described in Pokédex lore as a symbol of longevity, which gives this otherwise humble uncommon a layer of mythic, old-world charm that resonates with longtime collectors.
Kouki Saitou illustrated this card, and the artwork pairs perfectly with Wartortle’s game lore that it uses its furry ears and tail to balance while swimming at high speed, adding motion and personality to an often-overlooked middle evolution.
