What it does
During your opponent's next turn, if the Defending Pokémon tries to attack, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack doesn't happen.
It makes its nest in the shade of corals. If it senses danger, it spits murky ink and flees.

Where it came from
The Horsea card, numbered 031/163, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Battle Styles, which debuted internationally in March 2021. This set was notable for introducing the Rapid Strike and Single Strike mechanics, inspired by the combat styles featured in the Pokémon Sword and Shield: The Isle of Armor video game expansion. The set design aimed to capture a more tactical, martial-arts-inspired theme, moving away from the purely stat-driven battles of earlier expansions.
The artwork for this particular Horsea was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his clean, expressive style. In this depiction, Horsea is shown in a tranquil underwater environment, emphasizing its natural habitat and Water-type identity. As a common card, it served as a foundational piece for the set's accessibility, providing players and collectors with a standard representative of the Pokémon that could be easily found in booster packs during the peak of the Sword and Shield era.
