This beautiful Wartortle card comes from the 1999 Japanese Promo “Southern Islands” series, a tropical-themed set marked by a distinctive palm-tree logo. Illustrated by Naoyo Kimura, the art shows Wartortle gleefully splashing on a cresting wave alongside a smaller Water-type friend, capturing a serene seaside moment. With its bright blue-and-gold foil borders and 60 HP, this Stage 1 Wartortle (カメール) is a nostalgic piece for early Pokémon TCG collectors. As a Japan-only promotional release, it’s a sought-after trading card for fans of classic Pokémon art and independent high-quality prints.
