What it does
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
If 1 of your Pokémon used Bubble during your last turn, this attack does 80 more damage.
Despite what its appearance suggests, it cares for others. If it finds vulnerable, weak Pokémon, it protectively brings them into its water bubble.

Where it came from
The Araquanid card, numbered 33/131, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sun & Moon—Forbidden Light expansion, which launched internationally in May 2018. This set was designed to integrate the powerful Ultra Necrozma and various Alolan regional forms, drawing heavily from the narrative and aesthetic themes of the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon video games. Araquanid is featured here as a Water-type Pokémon, highlighting its unique role as a bulky, tactical combatant within the game's mechanics.
The illustration for this card was executed by artist Saya Tsuruta, who utilized a clean, digital style to emphasize the creature's bioluminescent bubbles and spindly, aquatic form. Tsuruta focused on capturing the creature's defensive nature, framing it in a way that highlights its 'Water Bubble' ability lore. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its utility in competitive play, particularly as a counter to Fire-type decks, making it a functional staple for many collections during the 2018 tournament circuit.
