Blastoise Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set 2 Blastoise is a reprint of one of the most iconic early Pokémon TCG cards, preserving the famous Rain Dance Pokémon Power that helped define Water decks in the game's first era.
Set Lore
What makes this copy especially collectible is that Base Set 2 was a 2000 English-only reprint set built from Base Set and Jungle cards, giving Blastoise a second Wizards of the Coast holo appearance in a distinct expansion.
In-Game
Blastoise carries extra nostalgia because it served as the box mascot of Pokémon Blue, tying this holo directly to one of the most recognizable pieces of Gen I game history.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives the artwork the same classic visual DNA that shaped the franchise's earliest games and promotional art.
Set Lore
Base Set 2 was the first English Pokémon expansion to use Cosmos Holofoil, so this Blastoise stands out from its earlier counterpart with a different holo treatment that longtime WotC collectors immediately recognize.
