Where it came from
Tirtouga card 27/101 was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Plasma Blast expansion, which debuted in August 2013. This set was the tenth installment in the Black & White Series, focusing heavily on the Team Plasma narrative arc that defined the era. The expansion introduced various Team Plasma-branded cards, characterized by their distinct blue and silver card borders and specialized abilities, reflecting the conflict between the trainers and the villainous organization depicted in the Unova region games.
The artwork for this particular Tirtouga was created by illustrator Mizue, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG series. Mizue’s design captures the prehistoric, turtle-like Pokémon in an underwater setting, emphasizing its status as a Water-type fossil Pokémon. As an uncommon card, it served as a functional piece for players building Water-type decks during the early 2010s, contributing to the broader mechanical landscape of the Plasma Blast meta which remains a point of interest for collectors focusing on the Black & White era.
