Tentacruel Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Card History
Aquapolis Tentacruel is one of the non-holo rares from the third English e-Card set, a release collectors remember for its border-side dot code and Game Boy Advance e-Reader compatibility era styling.
Card History
This card stands out mechanically because Strange Tentacles can pull an Energy card from your opponent’s discard pile onto their Defending Pokémon, a sneaky Poké-Power that can set up your own disruption or punish retreat math in a very early-2000s way.
Artist
Illustrator Hajime Kusajima was one of the defining visual voices of the e-Card era, and Bulbapedia notes that during this period he used watercolor and ink with heavier brushwork for more dominant Pokémon, which fits Tentacruel’s moody, threatening presence here.
In-Game
Tentacruel has carried a reputation as a dangerous sea predator since the core games, with Pokémon’s official Pokédex noting that when large outbreaks of Tentacruel occur, fish Pokémon disappear from the surrounding sea.
