#2 Blastoise - Base Set 2 (base4)
Blastoise is a Water-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featured in the Base Set 2. Its primary attack, Hydro Pump, requires three Water Energy to deal 40 damage plus 10 additional damage for each unused Water Energy attached to Blastoise, up to a maximum of 20 extra damage. The card includes a Pokémon Power ability called Rain Dance, allowing the player to attach Water Energy to any of their Water Pokémon during their turn before an attack, without using up their Energy attachment limit. This ability is restricted if Blastoise is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Blastoise has a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. The card’s flavor text describes it as a brutal Pokémon utilizing pressurized water jets for high-speed tackles. It was released in the Base Set 2 on February 24, 2000, and is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori. This Rare Holo card emphasizes Blastoise’s aquatic prowess through its mechanics and thematic description.
