#63 Squirtle - Base (base1)
Squirtle is a Water-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It features two attacks: Bubble, which costs 1 Water energy to deal 10 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Withdraw, requiring 2 energy (Water and Colorless) to prevent all damage to Squirtle during the opponent’s next turn while allowing other attack effects to occur. The card’s retreat cost is 1 Colorless energy, and it has no resistances. Its weakness is to Lightning attacks, which deal double damage. The flavor text describes Squirtle’s natural behavior, noting its shell hardens after birth and it sprays foam from its mouth. Artist Mitsuhiro Arita designed the card, which is part of the Base set released in 1999. The card’s theme color is a muted green, matching its Water-type identity. It is classified as a Common rarity card.
