Where it came from
Released in July 2006 as part of the EX Crystal Guardians expansion, this Squirtle card represents a transition period in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set focused on the theme of delta species and mysterious crystals on the fictional island of Holon, introducing unique mechanics where Pokémon adopted different elemental types. This particular card was designed to fit within the utilitarian, functional aesthetic typical of the EX era, which leaned heavily into digital-style card layouts.
The artwork for this card was provided by veteran illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose style remains the visual cornerstone of the franchise. His depiction of Squirtle captures a sense of classic familiarity, emphasizing the character's signature poise and water-type identity. As a common card, it was produced in high volume to provide essential support for players building decks, reflecting the game's broader mission to balance collectible rarity with competitive playability during the mid-2000s.
