Collector Insights

Tentacruel is a Water-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a single attack named Poison Sting. This attack requires one Water and one Colorless Energy to use, dealing 20 damage and flipping a coin to potentially poison the Defending Pokémon. The card includes a Poké-Power ability called Strange Tentacles, allowing the player to attach an Energy card from the opponent’s discard pile to the Defending Pokémon under specific conditions. The ability is contingent on the number of Energy cards attached to both the Active Pokémon and the Defending Pokémon. Tentacruel has no resistances and no retreat cost, making it a straightforward play. It is part of the E-Card series, released as part of the Aquapolis set in January 2003. The card is illustrated by artist Hajime Kusajima and is numbered 38 in its series. Its themecolor is a muted green, reflecting its aquatic theme.
