Horsea
Oracle Text
Attack Retaliate (10×): Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage times the number of damage counters on Horsea.
Attack Smokescreen (10): If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Horsea from Fossil is a classic early-game Water Basic that plays best as a tempo and light control piece rather than a damage engine. Smokescreen’s 10 damage is modest, but the real value is the coin-flip tax it places on the opponent’s next attack, forcing awkward turns and sometimes buying you a full extra turn of development. That makes Horsea especially useful in decks that want to stall while setting up stronger Water attackers or evolving into Seadra. It pairs well with other disruption tools, such as gust effects and status pressure, because forcing your opponent into inefficient attacks compounds the tempo gain. In deckbuilding, treat Horsea as a low-cost opener and include reliable Energy acceleration or retreat support so it can start disrupting immediately without slowing your own board. As a common, it’s not flashy, but it can quietly create the breathing room Water control decks love.
