Dark Blastoise shows the corrupted version of one of the most beloved starter Pokemon, twisted by Team Rocket's harsh training methods. This Dark Water-type uses its hydro cannons for destruction rather than protection. The card's "Hydro Cannon" attack was incredibly powerful but came with significant energy costs. Dark Blastoise's aggressive stance and darker shell coloring shocked collectors who were used to the gentle giant persona of the original Base Set version.
