#93 Squirtle - Base Set 2 (base4)
Squirtle is a Water-type Pokémon with 40 HP, featuring two distinct attacks. The first, Bubble, requires one Water energy to deal 10 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. The second, Withdraw, costs one Water and one Colorless energy, allowing it to avoid all damage during the opponent’s next turn if a coin flip results in heads. The card’s flavor text describes Squirtle’s natural behavior, highlighting its ability to harden its shell and spray foam from its mouth. It has no resistances and is weak to Lightning attacks, which deal double damage. The card was released in the Base Set 2 series in February 2000 and is illustrated by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. Its design reflects a classic Pokémon aesthetic with a themecolor of muted green. This common-rarity card serves as a foundational entry in the Pokémon TCG’s early expansion.
