Tentacruel
Plan this partner in PokéBonk
This analysis describes the Tentacool League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.
Armor and automatic nearby tentacle hits provide a useful baseline while Tentacool assembles its Water/Poison kit. The evolved Ultimate combines roots, a broad poison wave and rain.
Trade-off: Several advantages act near the player, so ranged safety is not its strongest feature.
Passive: Tentacles
Ultimate progression: Abyssal Tentacles / Poison Tide
Curated kit: Brine (Lv. 1) · Acid Spray (Lv. 2) · Venoshock (Lv. 4) · Whirlpool (Lv. 7)
Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
League analysis and kit: v0.8.25, checked October 23, 2026. Individual unlock checklists and linked builds carry their own source dates.
