Its Ability

Strange TentaclesTentacules étranges

Once during your turn (before your attack), as long as the number of Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon is less than the number of Energy cards attached to your Active Pokémon, you may choose an Energy card, if any, in your opponent's discard pile and attach it to the Defending Pokémon. This power can't be used if Tentacruel is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois pendant votre tour (avant votre attaque), tant que le nombre de cartes Énergie attachées au Pokémon Défenseur est inférieur au nombre de cartes Énergie attachées à votre Pokémon Actif, vous pouvez choisir une carte Énergie dans la pile de défausse de votre adversaire, s'il en a, et l'attacher au Pokémon Défenseur. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Tentacruel est affecté par un État spécial.

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, Strange Tentacles. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 340 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.
