Every Tentacruel card

The short version

Tentacruel has three printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across three expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Secluded Springs. It is a Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon printed at between 100 and 110 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 2. Every printing is an Uncommon. The hardest to pull is the Uncommon from Genetic Apex, at about 1 in 48 packs, or 70 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 110 packs, which is about 8 weeks at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Secluded, Shining and Mewtwo packs. The most recent is Tentacruel #016, from an expansion that shipped in August 2025. That printing attacks with Stun Poison for 50. The card’s own words: “When the red orbs on Tentacruel’s head glow brightly, watch out. The Pokémon is about to fire off a burst of ultrasonic waves.” It has been drawn by three artists.
