In the Pokémon TCG, this 2014 Water-type Blastoise-EX card (Black Star Promo XY30) was released as part of the XY Black Star Promo series (and included in the EX “Power Trio” collector’s tin). The dynamic holofoil art by Eske Yoshinob depicts Blastoise firing its hydro cannons amid swirling water, making the Water-type Pokémon stand out on the card. In battle, its Rapid Spin attack deals 30 damage and forces both players to swap their Active Pokémon, while its Splash Bomb attack hits for 120 damage (with a coin-flip drawback that deals 30 damage back to Blastoise on tails). As a Pokémon-EX, it’s worth two Prize cards when knocked out, and its striking foil design and status as a classic Kanto starter’s promo make it a coveted trading card for collectors and players alike.
