What it does
If an attack does damage to Misty's Tentacruel while it's your Active Pokémon, you may switch it with 1 of your Benched Pokémon, which prevents all other effects of that attack on Misty's Tentacruel. This power can't be used if Misty's Tentacruel is already Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. If tails, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

Where it came from
Misty's Tentacruel was released as part of the Gym Heroes expansion in 2000, representing the transition of the Pokémon Trading Card Game into the 'Gym Leader' era. This set was designed to reflect the personalities and signature teams of the Kanto region's Gym Leaders as depicted in the anime and video games, with this particular card representing Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader.
The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori utilized his signature watercolor-influenced style to depict the Pokémon in a dynamic, aggressive pose consistent with the Gym Heroes theme, which aimed to make cards feel like direct extensions of the trainers' battle strategies. Upon its release, it was noted for its distinct 'Gym' border design and became a staple in water-type decks of the era due to its specific mechanics tied to Misty’s character identity.
