Legendary Collection is a set in the Other series. It was released on May 24, 2002. The printed size is 110, and the checklist is the same length. Dark Wartortle is 39/110, in position 39 of 110 on this checklist. Before it is 38 Dark Dragonair, and after it is 40 Dewgong. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Dark Wartortle is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 21. In the Pokédex this is Wartortle (#008), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Squirtle. In this catalog that name is Squirtle (#007). The card lists Blastoise, Blastoise (#009) under evolves to.

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

Wartortle (#008) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Wartortle 42/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Wartortle, while this one is Dark Wartortle. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Wartortle list a different HP.

The attack Doubleslap lists 10× damage. The cost is Water. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads. Mirror Shell is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Colorless. If an attack does damage to Dark Wartortle during your opponent's next turn (even if Dark Wartortle is Knocked Out), Dark Wartortle does an equal amount of damage to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "A Pokémon with a negative attitude, it hides in its shell whenever it's in a bad mood—which is often."

I keep a set binder for Legendary Collection, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legendary Collection set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Wartortle can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
