Blastoise 13/95 · HS—Unleashed

HS—Unleashed is a set in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on May 12, 2010. The printed size is 95. This checklist is longer, at 96 cards. Blastoise is 13/95, in position 13 of 96 on this checklist. Before it is 12 Beedrill, and after it is 14 Crobat. The listed rarity is Rare.

Blastoise is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Blastoise (#009), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Wartortle. In this catalog that name is Wartortle (#008).

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Blastoise (#009) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Blastoise 2/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 43 other cards of Blastoise list a different HP.

Wash Out is listed as Poké-Power. As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a Water Energy attached to 1 of your Benched Pokémon to your Active Pokémon. This power can't be used if Blastoise is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Hydro Launcher lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless, Colorless. Return 2 Water Energy attached to Blastoise to your hand. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 100 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It deliberately makes itself heavy so it can withstand the recoil of the water jets it fires."

I keep a set binder for HS—Unleashed, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the HS—Unleashed set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Blastoise can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
