Collector Insights

Wartortle is a Water-type Pokémon from the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, part of the HS—Unleashed set released on May 12, 2010. It has 80 HP and requires one Colorless energy to retreat. The card features artwork by Masakazu Fukuda and includes flavor text about its association with longevity, noting that algae on its shell signifies age. Wartortle has one attack named Water Arrow, which costs a single Water energy and deals 20 damage to an opposing Pokémon, ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Its second attack, Surf, demands two Colorless and one Water energy, dealing 50 damage directly. The card lacks any resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking double damage from such attacks. Wartortle’s design reflects its evolutionary lineage as a Water-type Pokémon with a focus on aquatic themes.

It is a well-established symbol of longevity. If its shell has algae on it, that Wartortle is very old.
