About this card
The card describes a Blastoise that tackles anything it sees, and Rocket Tackle makes it pay ten damage of its own for the habit, in exchange for a coin flip that can block everything coming back at it. Because Dark is part of the printed name, a deck could legally hold four of these and four ordinary Blastoise at the same time. Arita signs seven of the eighteen holo cards here, more than anyone else working on the set.
