Its Ability

Flee

If an attack does damage to Misty's Tentacruel while it's your Active Pokémon, you may switch it with 1 of your Benched Pokémon, which prevents all other effects of that attack on Misty's Tentacruel. This power can't be used if Misty's Tentacruel is already Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Jellyfish Poison

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. If tails, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Flee. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,519 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,519 tournament lists we have read, 449 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
