Abilities

Pokémon Power: Rain Dance
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.

Attacks

Hydro Pump40+
Does 40 damage plus 10 more damage for each 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.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Blastoise standing confidently against a shimmering, star-filled background, its powerful water cannons ready to unleash high-pressure jets in an intense and commanding stance.

Playability Overview

Blastoise’s Rain Dance ability enables efficient Water Energy acceleration, making it a versatile and powerful Stage 2 option for boosting Hydro Pump damage in Water decks.
