物語The Story

What the Pokédex says

Legends: Arceus
They fire beams from the glassy, magenta orbs that resemble eyes atop their heads, and they drift in shallow seas. During low tide, they can sometimes be found on beaches, desiccated.
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.
Sword
Tentacool is not a particularly strong swimmer. It drifts across the surface of shallow seas as it searches for prey.
Let’s Go, Eevee!
It can sometimes be found all dry and shriveled up on a beach. Toss it back into the sea to revive it.

17 more entries from older games

Ultra Moon
Its body is 99% water. The remaining 1% contains the organ that makes its poison.
Ultra Sun
It drifts through the sea searching for prey. Its poisonous tentacles break off sometimes, but after a while, they grow back.
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.
Sun
They can be found lying dehydrated on beaches, but they are often still alive. When soaked in water, they will revive.
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.
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.
Y
Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by their stingers.
X
Its body is virtually composed of water. It shoots strange beams from its crystal-like eyes.
White 2
Because its body is almost entirely composed of water, it shrivels up if it is washed ashore.
SoulSilver
It drifts aimlessly in waves. Very difficult to see in water, it may not be noticed until it stings.
HeartGold
When the tide goes out, dehydrated TENTACOOL remains can be found washed up on the shore.
Pearl
It drifts in sea currents. Countless fishermen are hurt by its poison stingers.
FireRed
Its eyes are as transparent as crystals. From them, it shoots mysterious beams of light.
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.
Sapphire
TENTACOOL absorbs sunlight and refracts it using water inside its body to convert it into beam energy. This Pokémon shoots beams from its crystal-like eyes.
Crystal
As it floats along on the waves, it uses its toxic feelers to stab anything it touches.
Blue
Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by its stinging acid.
