2023 Pokemon Company Pokemon Card 151 AR Squirtle #170/165

This is the Japanese Art Rare (AR) version of Squirtle from the 2023 Pokémon Card 151 set (set code sy2a), numbered 170/165 — a secret rare beyond the base set count. The card features stunning full-art holo artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, depicting Squirtle playfully splashing in the shallows of a sunlit beach, with prismatic rainbow holo effects across the ocean scene. As a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 60 HP, Squirtle carries two moves: Withdraw (からにこもる), a coin-flip move that can prevent all damage on the opponent's next turn, and Tackle (ロケットずつき) dealing 20 damage. The card's flavor text notes that when Squirtle senses danger, it draws its head into its shell and spits water from its mouth. Stored in a screwed acrylic slab holder for protection.
