Pokédex Entries

Because its body is almost entirely composed of water, it shrivels up if it is washed ashore.

Its body is virtually composed of water. It shoots strange beams from its crystal-like eyes.

It drifts in sea currents. Countless fishermen are hurt by its poison stingers.

When the tide goes out, dehydrated TENTACOOL remains can be found washed up on the shore.

It drifts aimlessly in waves. Very difficult to see in water, it may not be noticed until it stings.
