The card features a Poké-Power called Dig Well, allowing the player to look at the top three cards of their deck, select any number of Water Energy cards, and attach them to their Pokémon during their turn. This ability cannot be used if Blastoise is under a Special Condition. Blastoise has two attacks: Aqua Press, which deals 20 damage plus 10 more for each Energy attached to all Pokémon, and Double Launcher, which discards two Water Energies and deals 60 damage to two of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon. The Double Launcher attack is limited to once per turn and cannot be used again during the next turn. The card was released in the Platinum series in February 2009 and is classified as a Rare Holo.
