What it does
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack or retreat during your opponent's next turn.
If Huntail has any Darkness Energy attached to it, this attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage and discard a Special Energy card, if any, attached to the Defending Pokémon.
It lives deep in the sea. With a tail shaped like a small fish, it attracts unsuspecting prey.

Where it came from
Huntail, a Water-type Pokémon introduced in the third generation, appears here as card 42/106 in the Great Encounters expansion. Released in early 2008 by The Pokémon Company International, the set focused on the Sinnoh region, featuring many Pokémon previously discovered in the Hoenn region. This specific card was designed to highlight Huntail's unique deep-sea evolution line, serving as a mid-tier strategic option for players during the Diamond & Pearl era of the trading card game.
The artwork for this card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and iconic artists in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Arita’s approach for this piece emphasizes Huntail’s eel-like, predatory nature, utilizing his signature style that blends watercolor textures with detailed line work. Within the competitive landscape of the time, the card was received as a standard uncommon inclusion, appreciated by collectors for its aesthetic capture of Huntail's bioluminescent-inspired design.
