“The Tentacruel card captures a moment beneath the waves, where this jellyfish Pokémon gracefully drifts through the water. Its vibrant colors contrast beautifully with the surrounding aquatic environment, creating a serene yet slightly ominous atmosphere. The flowing tentacles seem to move with a life of their own, hinting at the creature's ability to ensnare unsuspecting prey. This snapshot invites viewers into the mysterious underwater realm that Tentacruel calls home.”

Tentacle Strike
Search your opponent's discard pile for up to 2 Energy cards and attach them to any of your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like. For each Energy card attached in this way, this attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Dangerous Poison
If Tentacruel has less Energy attached to it than the Defending Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned.
