08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Octillery with 60 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ink Blast Cost: Water · 20+ damage

This attack does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Dark Octillery but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way.

Tentacle Wrap Cost: Water + Colorless · 20 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If tails, during your opponent's next turn, your opponent pays Colorless more to retreat the Defending Pokémon.

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Octillery PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
