Using it in a run

Tentacool spreads 335 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Special Defense (100) and its weakest is Defense (35), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Electric, Ground and Psychic. It resists Bug, Fairy and Fighting in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 14 moves; the hardest-hitting is Hydro Pump at 110 power, available at level 48. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
