Tirtouga — the Prototurtle Pokémon, the Water/Rock fossil revival of an ancient sea turtle, brought back to life in Black & White from a Cover Fossil. One of Unova's two fossil Pokémon (paired with Archen's Plume Fossil), and a clean reference to extinct sea turtles like Archelon. First stage of the Tirtouga → Carracosta line — a thin catalog with a surprise Black Bolt IR flagship.
Tirtouga has a short six-card list — the 2025 Black Bolt Illustration Rare leads at $30 by an astonishing 20× margin, and everything behind it sits below $1.50. A bookend pair from Black Bolt (the IR chase and a Common reprint) frames the list, with three BW-era reprints in the middle.
The chase. 2025 Black Bolt's Illustration Rare gives the fossil-turtle baby a painterly modern showcase — by an enormous 20× margin the priciest Tirtouga in the catalog. Where basically all modern interest in the line sits.
