Wartortle — the quiet middle of the original Water starter line. Never a marquee chase, but its Southern Islands holo and original Base Set card keep completionists hunting.
Wartortle is the forgotten middle of the Water starter line — too evolved to be cute, not evolved enough to be a chase. Its value is modest, anchored by the rare Southern Islands holo and the simple pull of the original 1999 print. Priciest first.
The 2023 set 151 rebuilt Kanto card-for-card, and even the middle evolutions caught the wave. This Wartortle is the line's market-top on pure nostalgia.
