Tentacruel 45/92 · Legend Maker

Legend Maker is a set in the EX series. It was released on February 1, 2006. The printed size is 92. This checklist is longer, at 93 cards. Tentacruel is 45/92, in position 45 of 93 on this checklist. Before it is 44 Tangela, and after it is 46 Vibrava. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Tentacruel is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Tentacruel (#073), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Tentacool. In this catalog that name is Tentacool (#072).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

Tentacruel (#073) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Tentacruel 44/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. 11 other cards of Tentacruel list a different HP.

Reactive Shield is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Tentacruel has any React Energy cards attached to it, prevent all effects, including damage, done to any of your Tentacruel in play by attacks from your opponent's Pokémon-ex. The attack Water Arrow lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Fury Strikes is another attack lists 20× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Lightning ×2.

I keep a set binder for Legend Maker, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legend Maker set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tentacruel can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
