Where it came from
Released in July 2006 as part of the EX Crystal Guardians expansion, this Squirtle card represents the middle era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's EX series. The set was thematic, focusing on the Holon region and the presence of unique crystalline landscapes that were believed to protect the legendary Pokémon of the area. As a common card, it was designed to be accessible to players building decks, serving as a staple Water-type basic that could evolve into the more powerful forms featured in the set.
The artwork for this specific card was rendered by artist Aya Kusube, who contributed significantly to the Pokémon TCG throughout the mid-2000s. Her style during this period often utilized clean lines and simplified environmental settings, which allowed the focus to remain strictly on the subject’s posture and personality. While the card is a standard common rarity, it remains a nostalgic touchstone for collectors who grew up with the EX-era card layouts and the distinct graphic design standards maintained by The Pokémon Company International at the time.
