This vintage Squirtle card is from the original 1999 Pokémon TCG Base Set (often called the “Pokémon Game”) by Wizards of the Coast. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the artwork shows Squirtle blowing bubbles while perched on a rock by a pond, capturing the Tiny Turtle Pokémon’s playful spirit. This card is the shadowless edition—an early WOTC print run—and it even has a known “red diamond” error misprint near the card number, making it a unique collectible variant. Collectors prize its nostalgic appeal as one of the first official Squirtle cards, and its simple 40 HP with Water-type moves (Bubble and Withdraw) reflects the classic vintage gameplay style, highlighting it as a charming collectible rather than a competitive TCG card.
