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

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon FireRed

Its eyes are as transparent as crystals. From them, it shoots mysterious beams of light.

Pokémon LeafGreen

Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by their stingers.
