Its attacks

no cost

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

60

If Tentacruel has less Energy attached to it than the Defending Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned.

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning +20. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 336 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.
