Read more ↓Tentacruel, the Jellyfish Pokémon, is a Water/Poison-type creature introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Tentacool starting at level 30. This menacing marine invertebrate is known for its two large, crystal-like eyes and numerous tentacles, which it uses to ensnare prey and administer potent toxins. Tentacruel is a formidable predator of the open ocean, often found in deep waters but occasionally venturing closer to shore to hunt. Its diet consists primarily of smaller fish and crustaceans, which it paralyzes with its venom before consuming. In the games, Tentacruel is a common sight in coastal areas and has solid defensive stats, making it a reliable choice for many trainers. In the anime, it has been depicted as both a wild menace, such as the giant Tentacruel that threatened a city, and a loyal companion. Its unique dual typing provides it with an interesting array of resistances and weaknesses, and its distinct design has made it a memorable part of the original 151 Pokémon, retaining a strong presence in the franchise's lore and fan base.
