Description
Released in 2004 as part of the Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen set, this Squirtle card (#83) serves as a fundamental piece for collectors focusing on the Generation III era of the Trading Card Game. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card features a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 50 HP, designed to complement decks centered around status effects and strategic positioning. The card’s attacks include Colorless Bubble, which can paralyze the Defending Pokémon with a coin flip, and WaterColorless Smash, dealing 20 damage while allowing the player to switch Squirtle with a Benched Pokémon. This mechanic encourages dynamic board management, making it a functional choice for competitive play during its print run. As a Common rarity card, it is widely sought after by those completing the FireRed & LeafGreen collection or building nostalgic sets. The card’s retreat cost is just 1 Energy, ensuring it can easily reposition on the battlefield. Whether you are a long-time fan of the franchise or a new investor exploring the TCG market, this release offers a tangible connection to the popular Game Boy Advance remakes.
