Attack Tackle (10)
Card Details
Character Background
Squirtle from Base Set is a classic example of a small Basic Pokémon that plays best in a slow, control-leaning tempo plan rather than raw aggression. Bubble gives you a cheap 10-damage attack with a coin-flip chance to Paralyze, which can steal turns, disrupt evolving threats, and buy time for your Water setup to come online. Withdraw adds another layer of annoyance, potentially blanking all damage for a turn and making Squirtle an awkward early blocker. In practice, it rewards decks that want to stall while assembling stronger Water attackers or evolving into Wartortle and Blastoise. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair Squirtle with energy acceleration and healing effects, since preserving its small body while forcing coin-flip pressure can create real tempo swings. It is especially valuable in lists that aim to deny attacks, soften the opponent’s board, and transition into a sturdier midgame rather than race from the start.
