Pokédex Entries

It extends its 80 tentacles to form an encircling poisonous net that is difficult to escape.

With 80 tentacles for ensnaring victims, it prevents escape until the prey is weakened by poison.

It alerts others to danger by stridently flashing the red orbs on its head.

Its 80 tentacles absorb water and stretch almost endlessly to constrict its prey and enemies.

In battle, it extends all 80 of its tentacles to entrap its opponent inside a poisonous net.
