Sword
Tentacool is not a particularly strong swimmer. It drifts across the surface of shallow seas as it searches for prey.
Legends Arceus
They fire beams from the glassy, magenta orbs that resemble eyes atop their heads, and they drift in shallow seas. During low tide, they can sometimes be found on beaches, desiccated.
