This 2023 Wartortle Illustration Rare card comes from the special Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion (the English “Mew” series) celebrating the original Kanto 151 Pokémon. It’s a Water-type Stage 1 Pokémon (100 HP) featuring Mitsuhiro Arita’s full-art illustration of Wartortle gracefully swimming in a luminous underwater scene. The holofoil background shimmers with light beams filtering down through water, highlighting the card’s rich detail and rare full-art design. While its moves like “Free Diving” (energy recovery) and “Spinning Attack” give it some play use, collectors prize this Pokémon trading card for its nostalgic Gen I artwork, unique Illustration Rare status (#171/165 secret holo), and eye-catching Arita style.
