Blastoise ex from the Pokémon Card 151 set, Special Art Rare, PSA 10 slab. This one’s got that full evolutionary vibe with Squirtle and Wartortle chilling in the background, Blastoise blasting water like it’s no big deal. The artwork captures a dynamic group shot, all three stages mid-action against a watery backdrop—simple but hits that nostalgic spot without overdoing it.
On the card text side, it’s a Water-type with 330 HP. Ability is Solid Shell, cutting 30 damage from attacks to your Pokémon. Attacks include Twin Cannons, where you discard two Water Energy for 140 damage times two if you flip heads—solid for a heavy hitter. Being an ex, it follows those rules: two Prize cards when KO’d, but packs the power to swing games.
Set dropped in 2023 as a Japan-exclusive at first, then went global, celebrating the original Kanto dex with modern twists. This SAR printing stands out because it groups the whole Squirtle line in one frame, unlike the basic ex version that’s just solo Blastoise. It’s part of that wave of sets blending old-school Pokémon with fresh mechanics, making it a nod to Base Set fans while fitting into current play.
In the slab, PSA 10 means pristine edges, sharp corners, and spot-on centering—probably 9.5 or better subs across the board. Eye appeal is strong with the vibrant blues and that glossy SAR finish popping under lights. Pop reports show around 800 in PSA 10 last I checked, not the rarest but tough to nail perfect on these textured arts.
I’d frame this one next to my old Base Set binder, just for the lineage feels.
