TENTACOOL CARDS GUIDE (JP VER.?How do you tell Tentacool cards apart?Check the bottom corner. Tentacool’s 1997–1998 cards have no set number, only the Pokédex No. 072 — tell them apart by the set symbol, the rarity mark and the “Misty’s” name. From 2014 to 2018 some Tentacool cards are Psychic-type, not Water. On 151, the Master Ball Mirror has Master Balls in the foil — don’t confuse it with the Poké Ball Mirror, which has plain Poké Balls.)

FIRST TENTACOOL · JUN 1997?Tentacool (メノクラゲ, “Menokurage”) wasn’t in the 1996 Base Set or Jungle. Its first card came in the third Japanese set, Mystery of the Fossils, released June 21, 1997.
