Description
Dark Wartortle, card number 46 from the 2000 Team Rocket series, represents a distinct entry in the early Pokémon trading card game. As a Stage 1 evolution of Squirtle, this Water-type Pokémon carries 60 HP and utilizes a retreat cost of 1. The card is classified as Uncommon within the TR set code, offering collectors a tangible piece of the franchise's foundational era. Designed by Kagemaru Himeno, this release appeals to enthusiasts looking to complete set collections or acquire specific evolution lines from the original base sets. Gameplay mechanics for Dark Wartortle include two primary attacks: Water Doubleslap and WaterColorless Mirror Shell. Water Doubleslap requires flipping two coins to deal damage equal to 10 times the number of heads. The defensive capability, WaterColorless Mirror Shell, triggers a counter-attack if Dark Wartortle takes damage during the opponent's next turn. These strategic elements make the card a notable subject for players and collectors alike. The product identity remains consistent across all listings, focusing on the card's role as Pokédex number 8. Whether you are a long-time fan of the 2000 release or new to the hobby, this card offers a clear connection to the Team Rocket narrative.

If an attack does damage to Dark Wartortle during your opponent's next turn (even if Dark Wartortle is Knocked Out), Dark Wartortle attacks the Defending Pokémon for an equal amount of damage.
A Pokémon with a negative attitude, it hides in its shell whenever it's in a bad mood—which is often.
