How to unlock Tentacool
To add it to your League, complete its challenge — poison 2,500 pokémon in a single run — then weaken and catch it when it appears in your next run.
- Poison 2,500 Pokémon in a single run.
Goal: 2,500 - Catch it in your next run.
After the challenge is complete, Tentacool appears in a run. Weaken it and catch it — it only joins your League once it is caught.
"In a single run" goals must be met in one run; the others add up across all your runs. League-size goals count the partners you have caught.
Tentacool's moves
These are the four moves listed in Tentacool's League kit. You start a run with the first one; the other three are among the moves level-up cards can offer (partners can also be offered moves from their evolution line and from your League — see level-up cards).

| Acid Spray | Poison | Special | 40 | Lobbed |
| Venoshock | Poison | Special | 65 | Chain |
