Tentacool 56/62 Pokémon Fossil Raw

Tentacool #56 from the Fossil expansion is a classic Water-type Basic Pokémon card that brings a nostalgic touch to any Pokémon TCG collection. First released in 1999 as part of the Base series, this Common rarity card features the iconic jellyfish Pokémon drifting serenely against a vibrant underwater backdrop. Illustrated by the renowned Kagemaru Himeno, the artwork captures Tentacool’s translucent, crystal-like head and eerie presence, making it a standout piece for fans of vintage Pokémon cards. With 30 HP and a simple but strategic gameplay profile, this card serves as an accessible evolution starter, particularly for decks centered around Tentacruel.

This raw, ungraded Fossil-era Tentacool card is perfect for collectors and players alike who appreciate the early days of the Pokémon TCG. It boasts the unique Poke Power "Cowardice," allowing players to return Tentacool to their hand at any time during their turn (before attacking), provided it wasn't just played and isn't affected by a Special Condition. Its single attack, Acid, deals 10 damage for one Water energy, offering a straightforward option in the early game. While not a top-tier competitive card by today’s standards, its historical significance and role in early deck strategies give it enduring appeal.
