Pokédex Flavour (description)
- Red/Blue
- Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by its stinging acid.
- Yellow
- It can sometimes be found all dry and shriveled up on a beach. Toss it back into the sea to revive it.
- Gold
- When the tide goes out, dehydrated TENTACOOL remains can be found washed up on the shore.
- Silver
- It drifts aimlessly in waves. Very difficult to see in water, it may not be noticed until it stings.
- Crystal
- As it floats along on the waves, it uses its toxic feelers to stab anything it touches.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fire Red
- Its eyes are as transparent as crystals. From them, it shoots mysterious beams of light.
- Leaf Green
- Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by their stingers.
