This 2005 Japanese 1st Edition Tentacruel comes from the Mirage Forest expansion (English EX Legend Maker set) and features vivid holofoil artwork by Kagemaru Himeno. The illustration shows Tentacruel and a Tentacool amid an amber-tinted, swirling underwater scene, with sparkling foil accents on the bubbles and tentacles. As a rare holo trading card with the 1st Edition mark, it appeals to collectors completing the Mirage Forest set and fans of classic Pokémon TCG releases. Tentacruel’s “Reactive Barrier” ability (blocking damage from Pokémon-EX when equipped with React Energy) adds historical interest from its original competitive era, making this card a nostalgic and playable piece of early Pokémon TCG history.
