What is a good competitive moveset for Tentacruel? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Red/Blue Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Red/Blue generation metagame.
Tentacruel is a pretty decent Water and Poison-typed Pokemon. It's not-uncommon to find yourself dealing with Tentacruel when battling in the 1st generation meta. There were no known abilities or equippable items back in the Red/Blue Pokemon games. Tentacruel is weak to Bug, Electric, Ground, and Psychic-typed attacks.
Tentacruel is a remarkable Mixed Tank. Generation one was a completely different game from what it is now. Previously before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Blizzard is a special 120-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target). ♦ Ice Beam is a special 95-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target). ♦ Surf is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Water-type move that deals a good amount of damage. ♦ Hydro Pump is a special STAB-boosted 120-base power Water-type move that deals a notable amount of damage. ♦ Mega Drain is a special 40-base power Grass-type move (Tentacruel recovers 50% of the damage dealt). ♦ Swords Dance is a status move (raises your Tentacruel's attack by 2 stages).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
