Its Ability

Rain DanceDanse de la pluie

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may attach 1 Water Energy Card to 1 of your Water Pokémon. (This doesn't use up your 1 Energy card attachment for the turn.) This power can't be used if Blastoise is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.Aussi souvent que vous le souhaitez pendant votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez attacher 1 carte Énergie à 1 de vos Pokémon (En plus de la carte Énergie que vous pouvez attacher normalement.) Ce pouvoir ne peut être utilisé si Tortank est Endormi, Confus ou Paralysé.

Its attacks

40+

Does 40 damage plus 10 more damage for each attached Water Energy attached to Blastoise but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. Extra Water Energy after the 2nd doesn't count.Inflige 40 dégâts plus 10 dégâts supplémentaires pour chaque Énergie attachée à Tortank en plus du coût en Énergie de cette attaque. Les Énergies supplémentaires après la seconde ne comptent pas.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    100 HP. Only 2 cards in Base Set carry more.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Rain Dance. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Wartortle to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 336 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Base Set landed here on 9 January 1999.
