Reading Turtwig's stat block
Turtwig is a Common Basic card from the Promo A set with 80 HP. Every STAT on this page comes straight from the card record; the expected pack count further down is a statistical estimate recomputed from the pull table, not a promise.
Its weakness is Fire, which is the fastest way for an opponent to remove it in a straight trade, and its retreat cost is 2 — that is what you pay in energy to swap it out mid-turn, and it is the number people forget until the card is stranded in the active spot.
Its attacks:
- Bite — 30 damage · cost Grass + Colorless
Read the energy costs together, not just the damage. A card with two attacks usually trades a cheap, weak opener for a pricier attack that does the real work, and the question that decides whether it belongs in a deck is whether you can actually pay for the big one on curve.

Where other printings of this card exist, they are linked on this page, because the stats can differ even when the name matches.
Where this card stands on the ladder
This card is not in any openable pack: Turtwig is a PROMO card that only comes from events, login gifts or in-game rewards. No amount of pack opening will produce it — do not burn currency on that door.
The meta deck table is recomputed from tournament data (play rate plus win/loss/tie record), not from anyone's opinion. A card missing from that table can still be beautiful and still be expensive to trade for, but it will not win games on its own — those are two different questions and this page answers them separately.
