With the current meta, and speed, I don't see this getting much play. Too difficult to get enough energy on it to make it relevant.

Baby blastoise and blastoise gx deck, seems really good

 

[MrEdwardo]

Quag/Naga?

 

[Lord Goomy]

Quag/Naga?

Nah, baby Blastoise along with this. Easier to set up, and energy is shuffled in, not discarded.
Ha, a non-Charizard full art in a box!

Thank god I won't have to worry about those hideous Blastoise GX full arts being in my way of pulling decent looking cards!

Thanks to Green's Search + Pokegear 3.0, Multiple Stage 2s might have a little faster pace in the metagame.

Looks too underwhelming for Standard play, even with the Blastoise from the Torrential Cannon theme deck. And it basically stands no chance of seeing play in Expanded Archie's Blastoise decks, because Kingdra-GX outclasses it as an attacker.

Full art Blastoise: You can't see me
Does anybody have a rope?

 

[treyh37]

in expanded this would work with deluge blastoise and ribombee BUS

in standard this with blastoise TEU and magcargo maybe.

where they'd be in relation to other decks I'm not sure.

 

[Winkachu]

That artwork so cool it's like: "You want a piece of me??"

 

[Poke_collector]

I like this as I do need more squirtle and wartortle

 

[Orias]

I don't like full art promos. XY and SM made full arts less special with that. I remember in BW when pulling a FA meant something

 

[Mariano11887]

This Blastoise GX combined with Max Potion will be really hard to KO.

 

[Paul Adler]

Why is Blastoise so fat?

 

[TheOneWhoCanSeeAll]

Inb4 Blastoise hyper rare becomes like Charizard hyper lol

Yea it’s pretty disappointing. Gyarados was such an amazing full art but they are way off with Blastoise.

That Blastoise Full Art is very...oof. The XY one was much, MUCH better. Man, I miss Ryo Ueda...

Did you know that the Blastoise GX FA & RA were both some artist's first ever cards? It's okay that they are bad for that reason, but Pokémon actually using those is what I don't like. They should have just made him make some regular cards, or at least a GX nobody cares about instead of one of the most popular Pokemon of all time.

I've seen some of the other works they did before, I actually really liked the meganium render the artist did. I actually don't mind the RA blastoise, it's one of the best the artist did in that style, but I think the full art has a lot left to be desired because theres nothing at all to compliment blastoise. The render isn't the best (especially compared to Ryo Ueda's) and it just kinda ends up being underwhelming.

I'm glad they're trying to get more artists onto the ultra rare scene, I really am. I hope that the people working on them improve and they also do what TTGXs are doing and having different styles of art (especially apparent with the SR prints). Or, if anything, I hope gen 8 does ultra rares artwork better.
