Blastoise ex

Blastoise is the final evolution of Squirtle, a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I (Pokémon Red and Blue, 1996). As the evolved form of Wartortle, Blastoise is renowned for its massive cannons on its shell, capable of precise, high-pressure water blasts, making it a powerhouse in battles and a fan-favorite starter Pokémon counterpart to Venusaur and Charizard.

Storage. Use penny sleeves and semi-rigid top loaders for raw cards; store in cool, dry, UV-protected binders or boxes away from direct sunlight to prevent foil oxidation.
