2023 Pokemon Company Pokemon 151 Illustration Rare Wartortle #171/165

Wartortle is a Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon with 100 HP, evolving from Squirtle. This stunning Illustration Rare from the 2023 Pokémon 151 set (MEW) features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, depicting Wartortle gracefully diving underwater amidst coral and shimmering light rays — a breathtaking full-art holo treatment. In gameplay, Wartortle boasts the Free Diving ability, allowing the player to retrieve up to 3 Basic Water Energy cards from the discard pile into their hand, and the Spinning Attack dealing 50 damage. The card's flavor text reads: "It cleverly controls its furry ears and tail to maintain its balance while swimming." Numbered 171/165, this card sits beyond the set's base count, marking it as a special Illustration Rare — a fan-favorite pull from one of the most nostalgic Pokémon TCG sets ever released.
