TENTACRUEL CARDS GUIDE (JP VER.?How do you tell Tentacruel cards apart?Check the bottom corner. Tentacruel’s 1997–1999 cards have no set number, only the Pokédex No. 073 — tell them apart by the set symbol, the rarity mark and the “Misty’s” name. In 2014 and 2018 Tentacruel was printed as a 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 TENTACRUEL · JUN 1997?Tentacruel (ドククラゲ, “Dokukurage”) 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.
