5 facts about this card
This famous Base Set Blastoise is one of the hobby’s best-known error cards because early copies were printed without the word “Stage” above the evolution box, creating the legendary “Stage Error” variation collectors chase.
Blastoise sits at the heart of Pokémon TCG history, since Base Set was the very first main expansion and its English booster packs were led by iconic pack art featuring Blastoise alongside Charizard and Venusaur.
The artwork on this card is by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, giving the card a direct visual link back to the franchise’s earliest official art style.
Blastoise was one of the original final starter evolutions from Pokémon Red and Blue and served as the mascot of Pokémon Blue, which helps explain why this Base Set holo has always felt like a flagship card to collectors.
Its Rain Dance Pokémon Power became one of the defining engines of early competitive play, turning Base Set Blastoise into more than a mascot card—it was also a deck-building centerpiece in the game’s first era.
