The games treat it like the pidgey of the sea but it's such a phenomenal defensive wall, and fast too

Plus it looks awesome

    I like that every pokemon is somebody's favourite, there's nothing that's too weird or too janky or too cringey or too whatever that there isn't somebody that likes it. My personal favourites are cloyster and bronzong so I love it when somebody's favourite isn't just in OU or Uber.

    Tentacruel has Rapid Spin and Knock Off and Toxic Spikes, and is a bulky water type seems like a good wall!

      I was talking about in-game and don't know much about competitive but I'm glad it's viable there

      I love Weezing, another great physical wall with Haze, Will-o-Wisp, Explosion, Pain Split, Sludge Bomb, plus amazing Poison typing with levitate (making him immune to one of his 2 weaknesses)

      The problem with tentacruel in competitive is it’s typing. It’s weak to ground, psychic, electric

    Haters will accuse it of having "poor physical bulk" completely ignoring the fact that it's fast enough to get off an acid armor ahead of a lot of attacks, plus it can protect + black sludge/rain dish/aqua ring to gain back the HP

    Tentacruel is great. I got one at the very end of my Diamond Nuzlocke and just wish I could have used it earlier

    I had a bad experience getting stung by a jellyfish when I was a kid so I never gave this guy a chance, sorry Tentacruel I know it wasn't you

    Along with umbreon and infernape, tentacruel has been in my squad since like 2009 or something. Others rotate but those 3 stay
