Every Blastoise card

The short version

Blastoise has eight printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across five expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Stage 2 Water-type Pokémon printed at between 150 and 180 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 3. They run to six rarities — two Rares, two Double Rares, one Art Rare, one Super Rare, one Shiny and one Shiny Super Rare. The hardest to pull is the Shiny Super Rare from Celestial Guardians, at about 1 in 479 packs, or 1,350 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,103 packs, which is about 1.5 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of five different packs. The most recent is Blastoise #029, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing attacks with Hydro Pump for 80+. The card’s own words: “It crushes its foe under its heavy body to cause fainting. In a pinch, it will withdraw inside its shell.” It has been drawn by six artists, PLANETA CG Works more than anyone else with two cards.
