Where it came from
The Blastoise card numbered 25/181 was released in the Team Up expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2019. This set was notable for introducing TAG TEAM Pokémon, a new mechanic that featured two Pokémon on a single card, but Blastoise appeared as a standard Rare card to anchor the Water-type roster. The artwork captures the quintessential design of the Kanto region starter, emphasizing its signature hydro-cannons and sturdy, defensive shell, maintaining the aesthetic continuity established by the long-standing franchise.
The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, whose work has defined the visual identity of the Pokémon series since its inception. Sugimori’s goal was to present the Pokémon in a classic, heroic pose that reflects its status as one of the most recognizable creatures in the franchise. Upon release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike, serving as a functional staple for competitive Water-type decks of the Sun & Moon era while fulfilling the nostalgic demand for original generation Pokémon.
