# Tentacool #113/147 — Aquapolis

## Summary

Tentacool is a bulk common from the Aquapolis set, a Water Basic with a self-heal gimmick that never threatened a tournament table. Kusajima's name adds a little interest for illustrator collectors, but demand here is Gen I completists and Johto-era binder builders filling a page. The modelled guide sits at $3.51, up 1% over 30 days on 20 copies traded, and the tape reads as a floor forming near the lows; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
