Wartortle is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. 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.
kurumitsu illustrated this card. The same name is on 33 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 lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and kurumitsu illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Wartortle list a different HP.
The attack Water Gun lists 30 damage. The cost is Water. Hydro Pump is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It is recognized as a symbol of longevity. If its shell has algae on it, that Wartortle is very old." The regulation mark is F.
I keep a set binder for Pokémon GO, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Pokémon GO set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Wartortle can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
