Collector Insights

Dark Wartortle is a Water-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featured in the Base series' Team Rocket set released on April 24, 2000. Designed by artist Kagemaru Himeno, this card carries number 46 and is classified as Uncommon. It requires one Colorless Energy to retreat and has no resistances, making it vulnerable to Lightning-type attacks that deal double damage. The card’s attacks include Doubleslap, which costs a single Water Energy and deals 10 damage multiplied by the number of heads from two flipped coins. Mirror Shell, requiring Water and Colorless Energy, allows Dark Wartortle to attack the Defending Pokémon for an equal amount of damage if an attack lands during the opponent’s next turn, even if the Pokémon is Knocked Out. The flavor text describes a Pokémon with a negative attitude that hides in its shell when in a bad mood, reflecting its demeanor. Its themecolor of #74a08e aligns with its Water-type identity, emphasizing its aquatic theme. This card’s strategic versatility stems from its ability to retaliate after taking damage, enhancing its gameplay impact.
