Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
The thread it secretes from its rear is as strong as wire. The secret behind the thread's strength is the topic of ongoing research.

Where it came from
Tarountula was introduced in the 2023 Scarlet & Violet expansion, which marked the transition of the Pokémon Trading Card Game into the ninth generation of the video game series. This common-rarity card features the Grass-type String Ball Pokémon, which debuted in the Paldea region games. The design focus for this set was to showcase the new, simplified card borders and revamped layout introduced by The Pokémon Company to modernize the game's aesthetic identity.
The illustration is credited to an artist from the Creatures Inc. design studio, tasked with capturing the creature's distinctive orb-like appearance and web-spinning capabilities. As a common card, it serves as a foundational element for players building decks around the Scarlet & Violet base set mechanics, emphasizing accessibility and the introduction of new regional fauna to the global player base.
