Atsuko Nishida's illustration—depicting Tentacool in a playful, mid-drift pose with its tentacles flowing in the current and its large, expressive eyes gazing forward in her signature soft, rounded style—captures the raw, aquatic cuteness of the species in a way that stands out among the more aggressive and dramatic artwork of the set's Holographic Rares like\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-entity svelte-qcdalo\"\u003eRegice ex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-entity svelte-qcdalo\"\u003eRegirock ex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e, and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-entity svelte-qcdalo\"\u003eRegisteel ex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e. The Reverse Holo treatment elevates an otherwise common card into a genuine visual chase, as the iridescent foil on the back catches light at different angles to reveal a subtle, shifting rainbow pattern that no standard printing can replicate, and the added \"Stamped\" variant further distinguishes this copy from the broader population of Reverse Holo Tentacool cards. As a Basic Pokémon that can be played directly from the hand on turn one, Tentacool occupies a structurally important position within the set's early-game options, and its permanently fixed supply—combined with over 20 years of natural wear from the population of Hidden Legends cards that were opened, played, and traded in the mid-2000s—ensures that quality raw Reverse Holo Stamped copies remain a steady target for both set completionists and players of Unlimited format tournaments who still appreciate the creative early-game pressure mechanics of the EX era's most lovable Water-type Pokémon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Number \/ Rarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e66\/92 \/ Common\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Type \/ HP \/ Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWater \/ 50 \/ Basic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttack 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[W] Poison Sting\u003cbr\u003eThe Defending Pokemon is now Poisoned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeakness \/ Resistance \/ Retreat Cost:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL \/ None \/ 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-details__price-guide\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-guide\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-guide__side-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-guide__near-mint-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"near-mint__header price-guide__near-mint__header\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Image(s) Shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll cards are professionally rated for quality assurance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll cards come sleeved, cards above $5 in value come toploaded. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__item-details__description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor in hand images please reach out via contact form. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Near mint (NM)","offer_id":52823969202463,"sku":"528239692024_7940","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light Played (LP)","offer_id":52823969235231,"sku":"52823969202463_LightPlayed(B5334","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Moderately Played (MP)","offer_id":52823969267999,"sku":"52823969202463_ModeratelyPl29916","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Heavily Played (HP)","offer_id":52823969300767,"sku":"52823969202463_HeavilyPlayeF7409","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Damaged (D)","offer_id":52823969333535,"sku":"52823969202463_Damaged(D)_FE5C9","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/8006\/6591\/files\/Tentacool66_92ReverseHoloStampedPokemonEXHiddenLegendsRaw.webp?v=1787941141","url":"https:\/\/curatedcollectables.ca\/products\/tentacool-66-92-reverse-holo-stamped-pokemon-ex-hidden-legends-raw","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
