Tentacruel's Detailed Stats

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Tentacruel is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.
