Wartortle 42/102 Pokémon Base Set Unlimited Raw

Wartortle (42/102) from the Pokémon Base Set Unlimited is a beloved Stage 1 Water-type card that continues the iconic evolution line of Squirtle. With its charming design illustrated by Ken Sugimori, this card captures Wartortle’s sleek, battle-ready appearance as it prepares to dive into aquatic combat. Boasting 70 HP and an evolution from Squirtle, Wartortle strikes a balance between durability and tactical play, making it a nostalgic favorite among collectors and casual players alike. As part of the original Base Set released in 1999, this Unlimited edition card holds a special place in Pokémon TCG history.

The card features two signature attacks: Withdraw, which allows you to flip a coin and prevent all damage to Wartortle during your opponent’s next turn on heads, and Bite, a straightforward 40-damage move that requires two Water energy cards. With a minimal retreat cost of just one Colorless energy and no resistance, Wartortle is both agile and reliable in the heat of battle. Its Uncommon rarity makes it accessible, yet its classic status and enduring popularity ensure it remains a staple in vintage collections and themed decks.
