# Tentacruel #50/102 — Triumphant

## Summary

Tentacruel is a Gen I Water type with a quiet following, remembered as the sea-route menace that rewards patient trainers. This Triumphant Uncommon was a mid-tier pull whose evolve-for-status trick suited casual decks more than tournament lists, and Sachiko Adachi's name adds a modest draw. A $0.97 modelled guide, up 9% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 212 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
