Provenance

Where it came from

The Wartortle card numbered 16/78 is a component of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Pokémon GO, released in July 2022. This set was a special collaboration between The Pokémon Company and the mobile game developer Niantic, designed to bridge the physical card game with the aesthetics and mechanics of the Pokémon GO mobile application. The card art features a clean, digital style intended to mirror the 3D assets found within the mobile game environment, focusing on the turtle-like Pokémon as it appears in its natural, augmented-reality-inspired habitat.

This particular card illustrates Wartortle, the evolved form of Squirtle, emphasizing its distinctive ear and tail structures. As an uncommon card, it was produced in high volume to ensure accessibility for players looking to complete the set or integrate the Water-type evolution chain into their decks. The design intent was to create a recognizable, modern iteration of the character that felt cohesive with the mobile application's visual language, rather than following the traditional illustrative styles common in mainline expansion sets.
