# Blastoise #25/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Blastoise is a Kanto starter final form, and the Water starter has kept a devoted following since Red and Blue. Its Ability to pull Water Energy from the deck made it a real contender in Water decks of the Sun & Moon era, though as a regular Rare the pull itself was never scarce. The modelled guide sits at $10, down 4% over 30 days on 40 copies traded, with 320 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $58, 5.7 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
