Tentacruel is a Water-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featured in the Diamond & Pearl series as part of the Legends Awakened set, released on August 1, 2008. It has a converted retreat cost of 1 and requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. The card's artist is Kouki Saitou, and it carries a Pokédex number of 73. Tentacruel possesses two attacks: Tentacle Strike and Dangerous Poison. Tentacle Strike allows the player to search their opponent's discard pile for up to two Energy cards, attaching them to any of their opponent's Pokémon, dealing 20 damage per attached card. Dangerous Poison costs Water and two Colorless Energies, dealing 60 damage and inflicting Paralysis and Poison if Tentacruel has fewer Energy attachments than the defending Pokémon. The card's flavor text describes its ability to ensnare victims with its tentacles, gradually weakening them through poison. Its weakness to Lightning adds 20 damage, making it vulnerable to certain strategies.

With 80 tentacles for ensnaring victims, it prevents escape until the prey is weakened by poison.
