07Why Collectors Want It

Early-2000s Aquapolis printing with vintage collector appeal.
Octillery — Pokemon TCG catalog (Pokedex #224).
Required for any complete Octillery master set across eras.
Collectors of the Aquapolis set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Octillery with 80 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Suction Cups

As long as Octillery is your Active Pokémon, whenever the Defending Pokémon retreats, discard all Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon when it goes to the Bench.

Smokescreen Cost: Water + Colorless + Colorless · 40 damage

If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
