2022 POKEMON GO #018 RADIANT BLASTOISE PSA 10
Price: $149.99
Radiant Blastoise from Pokémon GO, Radiant Rare, PSA 10 slab.
That artwork shows Blastoise mid-blast, cannons locked and loaded, with a shiny foil sheen that catches the light just right.
Water type, 150 HP. Ability: Vitality Spring – once per turn, heal 20 from each of your Pokémon and draw until you have 6 cards in hand. Attack: Torrent Blaster, 200 damage but discard 2 Water Energy from it.
This one’s from the Pokémon GO set, dropped in 2022 as a tie-in to the mobile game craze. What makes this printing pop is the Radiant mechanic – these cards can’t be evolved into or from, but they pack unique abilities that shake up decks. It’s not your classic Base Set Blastoise; this version leans into the GO vibe with that radiant foil border and textured holo pattern. Collectors dig how it bridges the app world with TCG roots, especially since the set had promo packs tied to in-game events. Blastoise has always been a tank, but here it’s got that modern twist, making it a fresh take on the shell-shocking turtle.
In a PSA 10, you’re looking at pristine centering, maybe 60/40 or better on a good sub, with edges sharp enough to cut paper and no whitening in sight. Surfaces are clean, no scratches or print lines messing with the eye appeal – that radiant texture really shines under slab plastic without any haze. Pop reports put PSA 10s for this card around 1,200 last I checked, not super rare but tough to nail in gem mint with that foil prone to scratches.
I’d stash this one in a display case next to my water deck pulls, just for the daily grin.
