Description
Illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, this Rare card serves as a Stage 2 evolution from Wartortle, providing collectors with a high-impact presence in the game with 130 HP. The card's design and mechanics reflect the strategic depth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game during this era, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate both the lore and the competitive utility of classic cards. Blastoise brings unique tactical value to any collection or gameplay session. Its ability, Wash Out, allows players to move Water Energy from the bench to the Active Pokémon as often as desired, offering significant flexibility in resource management. This capability is complemented by its attack, Hydro Launcher, which deals 100 damage to an opponent's Pokémon in exchange for returning two Water Energy cards to hand. This trade-off encourages thoughtful deck construction and turn planning. For collectors, the HS Unleashed set represents a distinct chapter in Pokémon card history. Card number 13 is a staple for those looking to complete the full set, maintaining the integrity of the collection. The combination of its powerful abilities, iconic character design, and status as a Rare card makes it a desirable addition for hobbyists and investors alike. Whether you are building a comprehensive archive of Pokémon cards or focusing on specific types, Blastoise from this 2010 release holds a solid place in the community's interest. By focusing on the specific attributes of the HS Unleashed series, collectors can ensure they are adding authentic and verified pieces to their holdings. The enduring appeal of Blastoise continues to drive demand, making cards like this a relevant part of the modern collecting landscape.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Ability: Wash Out
As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a Water Energy attached to 1 of your Benched Pokémon to your Active Pokémon. This power can't be used if Blastoise is affected by a Special Condition.
Attack: Hydro Launcher
Return 2 Water Energy attached to Blastoise to your hand. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 100 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
It deliberately makes itself heavy so it can withstand the recoil of the water jets it fires.
