The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit buzzed with excitement over the "Squirtle Squad 💦🕶️" meetup at Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), where fans united under a Squirtle squad flag to trade custom-themed memorabilia. Attendees came prepared with Squirtle Pokémon cards enhanced with permanent marker sunglasses, perler bead art, and stickers, embodying the iconic Squirtle Squad spirit from the Pokémon series.
Key highlights of the gathering included:
- A recognizable Squirtle squad flag serving as a meetup beacon in the festival’s chaotic landscape.
- Unique Blastoise totems acting as a secondary identifier for fans seeking fellow squad members.
