If he doesn't fair well in the OU environment, is there any point in using it?
And BTW, I have run that spread with a few SAtk EVs (not many, but I don't remember the exact amount). No EV spread can help it, as it has failed me countless times, while my replacement (Cresselia) has done way way better. Tentacruel is just a worse Cresselia that isn't weak to Pursuit (though it's electric and ground weaks hurt it more than Pursuit hurts Cress IMO) and can Toxic Spike the field (and that's easy to beat anyways). It can't even Rapid Spin that well.
I always used to wonder why nobody used Tentacruel in OUs (since on paper it looks great), but now I know why. It isn't near as good as people say it is. It's just a UU that is okay in OUs...not terrible, but not all that great either. That's my opinion at least.
My new stall team has lost 2 games so far out of a pretty fair amount of games (I kinda lost track). I'm currently working on improving it, so once that's done, I don't really seeany huge weaknesses.
