Released in 1999 as part of the classic Pokémon Fossil expansion, this Tentacool (#56) is a Basic Water-type Pokémon TCG trading card. Kagemaru Himeno’s illustration depicts the jellyfish Pokémon with large red eyes and flowing tentacles against a swirling blue-green backdrop with glowing yellow highlights—an iconic ’90s art style. In gameplay it has 30 HP and the move Acid (10 damage), plus the unique Fossil-era Pokémon Power “Cowardice” that lets Tentacool retreat to your hand mid-turn; it’s printed as a non-holographic Rare (star). Collectors appreciate its vintage charm: the classic ’90s artwork and distinctive mechanics make it a nostalgic collectible for Pokémon TCG fans.
