What it does
As long as Octillery is your Active Pokémon, whenever the Defending Pokémon retreats, discard all Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon when it goes to the Bench.
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.

Where it came from
Released in January 2003 as part of the Aquapolis expansion, this card represents a pivotal era in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the acquisition of the license by The Pokémon Company from Wizards of the Coast, Aquapolis was designed to bridge the gap between early mechanics and the modern era. It is best known for introducing the Crystal type mechanic, though this specific Octillery card utilizes the standard Water-type design prevalent in the Expedition and Aquapolis sets.
The artwork for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a long-standing illustrator for the franchise known for his clean, expressive style. Saitou captured the character’s dual-tentacle design in a vibrant, aquatic setting typical of the aesthetic shift toward more dynamic, painterly backgrounds that defined the E-Reader compatible sets of this period. Upon release, the set was noted for its integration with the Game Boy Advance E-Reader peripheral, which allowed players to scan cards to unlock Pokédex data and mini-games.
