Release information

In Japan, this card was reprinted with artwork from one of five winning entries of the Nintendo 64 Pokémon Snap contest held in Spring 1999. This version is extremely rare and the exact number in existence is unknown. This card was reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection reprint sets, which were only released outside of Japan.

Trivia

• The Japanese "Snap" print has a camera graphic where an expansion symbol would usually be.
• Unlike the majority of the cards released through the Spring 1999 Pokémon Snap contests, the "Snap" print does feature the additional text on the bottom right.

Origin

Bubble and Withdraw are both moves in the Pokémon games that Squirtle can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded.
