5 facts about this card
This National Championships version is a true event variant of Crystal Guardians Blastoise, with Bulbapedia listing 14/100 as a special 2007 National Championships release alongside an even scarcer Staff-stamped counterpart.
Blastoise is tied to the Storm Surge theme deck in EX Crystal Guardians, making this championship-stamped copy feel like a competitive spotlight version of one of the set’s marquee Water cards.
Blastoise has carried flagship status since Pokémon Red and Blue, where it served as the cover monster for Pokémon Blue, giving this ex-era print extra nostalgia for collectors who started with the original starter trio.
Blastoise’s reputation as one of the franchise’s signature Water-types helped make it a long-running fan favorite, so a National Championships promo taps into both tournament history and one of Pokémon’s most iconic mascots.
The card’s artwork is credited to Kouki Saitou, an illustrator known for extensive Pokémon TCG work, which adds another layer of appeal for collectors who chase specific artists across ex-era cards.
