Tentacool Pokédex entries(33 entries)
ALPHA SAPPHIRE

Tentacool absorbs sunlight and refracts it using water inside its body to convert it into beam energy. This Pokémon shoots beams from the small round organ above its eyes.

BLACK

Because its body is almost entirely composed of water, it shrivels up if it is washed ashore.

BLACK 2

Because its body is almost entirely composed of water, it shrivels up if it is washed ashore.

BLUE

Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by its stinging acid.

CRYSTAL

As it floats along on the waves, it uses its toxic feelers to stab anything it touches.

DIAMOND

Its body is virtually composed of water. It shoots strange beams from its crystal-like eyes.

EMERALD

Its body is almost entirely composed of water. It ensnares its foe with its two long tentacles, then stabs with the poison stingers at their tips.
