#42 Wartortle - Base (base1)

Wartortle is a Water-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: "Withdraw," which costs Water and Colorless energy to flip a coin, potentially preventing all damage during the opponent's next turn, and "Bite," requiring Water and two Colorless energies to deal 40 damage. The card has no abilities listed and is part of the Base set, released in 1999. Its flavor text describes Wartortle as often hiding in water to stalk prey, using its ears to maintain balance while swimming. The card’s theme color is a muted green, and it is numbered 42 in the series. It carries an uncommon rarity and is illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Wartortle’s weakness is to Lightning-type attacks, which deal double damage.
