Description
The 2021 Pokémon Celebrations release honored the franchise's history through its Classic Collection subset, which reimagines iconic cards for a new generation. This product is the holo version of Blastoise, designated as card number 2 within that specific subset. Originally drawn by Ken Sugimori, this Stage 2 Water-type Pokémon evolves from Wartortle and holds the Pokédex number 9. For collectors building sets from the Celebrations brand, this card represents a pivotal moment in the original lineup. The holo treatment adds significant visual appeal, distinguishing it from standard prints. In gameplay terms, it features the Rain Dance ability, allowing players to attach Water Energy efficiently, alongside the high-damage Hydro Pump attack. Its 100 HP and retreat cost make it a functional piece for tournament play as well as display.
