Tentacool's Detailed Stats
Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Tentacool's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Tentacool's Nature.

Pokédex Entries for Tentacool
Generation 8 Pokédex Entries
Sword
Tentacool is not a particularly strong swimmer. It drifts across the surface of shallow seas as it searches for prey.
Shield
This Pokémon is mostly made of water. A Tentacool out in the ocean is very hard to spot, because its body blends in with the sea.
Generation 7 Pokédex Entries
Sun
They can be found lying dehydrated on beaches, but they are often still alive. When soaked in water, they will revive.
Moon
It drifts in shallow seas, such as the areas near beaches. If you get bitten or stabbed by its toxic tentacles, rush to the hospital.
Ultra Sun
It drifts through the sea searching for prey. Its poisonous tentacles break off sometimes, but after a while, they grow back.
Ultra Moon
Its body is 99% water. The remaining 1% contains the organ that makes its poison.
Generation 6 Pokédex Entries
X
Its body is virtually composed of water. It shoots strange beams from its crystal-like eyes.
Y
Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by their stingers.
Omega Ruby
Tentacool's body is largely composed of water. If it is removed from the sea, it dries up like parchment. If this Pokémon happens to become dehydrated, put it back into the sea.
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.
