Read more ↓Tentacruel, the Jellyfish Pokémon, is a dual Water/Poison-type creature introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Tentacool starting at level 30. Known for its imposing size and numerous tentacles, Tentacruel inhabits the depths of the ocean, often found near coral reefs or in deep-sea trenches. Its diet primarily consists of smaller aquatic Pokémon, which it ensnares with its venomous tentacles. In the games, Tentacruel is often encountered as a formidable wild Pokémon, particularly in water routes, and is noted for its high Special Defense and Speed stats. In the anime, Tentacruel has been depicted as both a territorial guardian of its underwater domain and an antagonist, notably in episodes where it grows to immense sizes due to pollution. Its design, reminiscent of a large, menacing jellyfish, contributes to its memorable presence in the Pokémon world. Tentacruel’s unique typing makes it resistant to several common types like Fire, Water, Ice, Fighting, Bug, and Fairy, but vulnerable to Electric, Ground, and Psychic attacks. Its role in the ecosystem is that of a predator, maintaining the balance of marine life. Its cultural significance lies in its iconic status as one of the original 151 Pokémon, a recognizable symbol of the diverse aquatic life within the Pokémon universe.
