Squirtle — MEP 039 | ME: Mega Evolution Promo (MEP) Black Star | Holofoil Illustration Rare

The most coveted card in the First Partner Illustration Collection, Squirtle MEP 039 is a Holofoil Full Art illustration rare-style MEP Black Star Promo — and it is not a pack pull. It comes exclusively from the Pokémon TCG 30th-anniversary product line, making raw copies genuinely scarce in the hobby. Illustrated by fan-favorite artist Saboteri, this Water-type Kanto starter carries a richly detailed scene packed with iconic Generation I landmarks: the S.S. Anne, Silph Co., the Seafoam Islands, and the Cycling Road — all rendered in the red, green, blue, and yellow palette of the original Game Boy games.

What makes this card truly special is its place in a combined triptych illustration. Squirtle 039, Charmander 038, and Bulbasaur 037 form a single panoramic artwork together — the complete Kanto first-partner trio, each card a puzzle piece. Collecting all three is the chase. This is the mega box edition, delivered as a sealed collectible product.

What you're hunting:

  • Squirtle MEP 039 — Holofoil Full Art Illustration Rare, Saboteri art, 30th-anniversary 30th-P Promotional series
  • Triptych trio — pairs with Charmander MEP 038 and Bulbasaur MEP 037 for a complete panoramic Kanto display
  • MEP Black Star Promo designation — tied to the Mega Evolution Series, Standard-legal (G-on / H-on)
  • Market value — Squirtle 039 trending ~$31–32 raw NM; Charmander 038 commanding the top spot at ~$36 in the trio
  • PSA/BGS grading potential — 30th-anniversary promos with full-art holofoil treatment grade with strong pop ceiling

With the Pokémon TCG celebrating its 30th anniversary and the Mega Evolution Series driving some of the strongest collector momentum since Sword & Shield base, Kanto starter Illustration Rares are exactly the kind of anniversary-locked, region-specific promo that the market prices up fast and grades into long-term value. Get your Squirtle sealed — or slabbed — before the window closes.
