What it does
Search your opponent's discard pile for up to 2 Energy cards and attach them to any of your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like. For each Energy card attached in this way, this attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
If Tentacruel has less Energy attached to it than the Defending Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned.
With 80 tentacles for ensnaring victims, it prevents escape until the prey is weakened by poison.

Where it came from
The Tentacruel card from the Legends Awakened expansion was released in 2008 as part of the Diamond & Pearl series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to bridge the gap between the core gameplay mechanics established in the Sinnoh region and the nostalgic appeal of earlier generations, featuring a mix of new Generation IV Pokémon and classic favorites like Tentacruel. It was produced by The Pokémon Company and Creatures Inc. during a period of significant growth for the international competitive scene.
The artwork for this card, illustrated by Midori Haru, captures the jellyfish-like Pokémon in a dynamic, underwater pose that emphasizes its distinct, multi-tentacled form. The design focuses on the character's signature Water typing and its role as an annoyance-based attacker in the game, utilizing the 'Panic' attack to disrupt opponent strategies. Upon its release, the set was well-received by players for its inclusion of the powerful Level X cards, though common and uncommon cards like this Tentacruel remained staples for deck builders looking to counter specific elemental weaknesses.
