Tentacruel (Japanese: ドククラゲ Dokukurage) is a dual-type Water/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Tentacool starting at level 30. Tentacruel is a large, cnidarian Pokémon, resembling a jellyfish. It has a clear, light blue body with two large, red orbs on either side and a smaller orb in the center. Its eyes are visible in its round lower body, which is black. Extending from its lower body are two blue, beak-like appendages and numerous grayish tentacles. The red orbs on its head glow when it is excited or agitated, communicating with others of its kind, and can also fire ultrasonic waves. Tentacruel's primarily light blue body helps it camouflage in the water. It has 80 tentacles that can extend to ensnare prey, immobilizing them with poison. These tentacles can stretch further by absorbing water. Most of its tentacles remain hidden, with only 14 typically exposed. Tentacruel lives in underwater rock formations and can be found throughout the ocean. While not commonly seen, they sometimes gather in large groups. Tentacruel is known for its use of poison attacks and its ability to constrict and immobilize opponents with its tentacles. It is also capable of emitting ultrasonic attacks.
