#104 Blastoise ex - FireRed & LeafGreen (ex6)

Blastoise ex is a Water-type Pokémon with 150 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy cards. It possesses a unique Poké-Power called Energy Rain, allowing the player to attach a Water Energy from their hand to one of their Pokémon during their turn, placing a damage counter on that Pokémon. The card’s primary attack, Hyper Whirlpool, requires three Water and one Colorless Energy to deal 80 damage and forces the opponent to discard Energy cards attached to the defending Pokémon upon flipping coins until tails appear. Blastoise ex has a Lightning weakness that multiplies damage by two. The card’s rules specify that if Blastoise ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards. It is part of the EX series, released in the FireRed & LeafGreen set in 2004, and was illustrated by artist Hikaru Koike. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a strategic Water-type with versatile energy manipulation capabilities.
