# Tentacool #71/160 — Primal Clash

## Summary

Tentacool is an uncommon from Primal Clash, a mid-tier pull that was never anyone's chase in a set built around Groudon and Kyogre. The Ancient Trait is a curiosity of that period, and Mizue's name draws steady interest from illustrator collectors, though Gen I Water fans mostly keep demand modest. The modelled guide sits at $2.48 with 12 copies traded in 30 days, and the tape reads as a decline with nothing absorbing it; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
