Collector Insights

Blastoise is a Water-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energies. It appears in the POP Series 3 set, released on April 1, 2006, as a Rare card. The card’s artwork is by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. Blastoise has two attacks: "Smash Turn" costs two Colorless energies and deals 30 damage, allowing the player to switch it with a Benched Pokémon after the attack. "Rocket Tackle" requires four Energy (two Water and two Colorless) and deals 60 damage, with a 10-damage self-inflict effect. Upon resolving, a coin flip determines if all future damage from attacks is prevented during the opponent’s next turn. The Pokémon has a Lightning-type weakness that multiplies damage by two. Its design and mechanics align with the POP Series 3 theme, emphasizing strategic play through its unique attack interactions. The card’s rarity and release date position it as a notable entry in the series.
