Provenance

Where it came from

Tentacruel card 61/181 was released in February 2019 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Team Up. This set focused on the 'TAG TEAM' mechanic, which paired powerful Pokémon together, and drew significant attention for its high-art chase cards. The set was released during a period of sustained growth for the TCG, reflecting the ongoing strategy of The Pokémon Company to integrate mechanics from the latest video game entries while celebrating legacy designs.

The artwork for this specific Tentacruel was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the series known for a vibrant, clean style that emphasizes the character's movement. Saitou's interpretation of Tentacruel captures its menacing, tentacled anatomy within the aquatic, bioluminescent theme typical of Psychic-type cards in the Sun & Moon era. It remains a functional piece of the set's broader design, providing utility for players looking to incorporate Poison-type mechanics into their decks.
