Tentacruel or Octillary?

[TentacruelZ]

What pokemon do you think is cooler and why Tentacruel or Octillary?

 

[Limey-chan]

I'm not a fan of either, but Tentacruel edges it because of this badass sprite:

Win.

 

[Deputy]

I'll give it to Octillery, he's an octopus cannon while tentacruel is a mere pissed off jellyfish

 

[Britney's Circus]

Octilary because of it's cuteness and moves.

 

[altaria221]

i dont know which i prefer,
ah yes, tentacruel
he is by far stronger in my opinion and the shiny is cooler looking

 

[Pokeyomom]

Tenatcruel by a long shot. He could evolve... At 20,000 leagues below the sea. Lol. Octillary is just pissed because he's not a Kraken.

 

[Mobile Tsk]

Well, since this is detached from competitive battle, I am going to choose Octillery. Just that sense of "I look nothing like Remoraid" and "I wonder what it would look like if the Remoraid on Mantine evolved"

 

[The Darkest Gale]

I like neither but octillary just edges it because of its special move octazooka

 

[templekeeper]

After the Porta Vista episode, I can never like the Tentacool line. And Octopi are awesome.

In terms of personal preference, Tentacruel by far. I just find it to be a better Pokémon. But, in true SL-hakase tradition, I'mma analyze their stats and such.

Octillery
HP: 75
Attack: 105
Defense: 75
Sp. Attack: 105
Sp. Defense: 75
Speed: 45

Tentacruel
HP: 80
Attack: 70
Defense: 65
Sp. Attack: 80
Sp. Defense: 120
Speed: 100

Obviously, just by that, Tentacruel can easily kick Octillery's ass. I think I need go no further. .​

 

[XxDawnfanxX]

Tentacruel I think is cooler because of its combination of water and poison attacks. Although it seems statically Octillary has an advantage, Tentacruel's speed helps to make it a more interesting battle.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Tentacruel all the way :H He's "the gangster of the sea", whereas Octillery is a little red pile of urine.

 

[©ereal Killer]

Tentacruel fo'sho!! Who doesn't like monster octopusses?

When you put it like that, I just HAVE to do this, you know :P

Obviously, Tentacruel is faster no matter what, unless Octillery's got somewhat of a Speed pass.

Octillery w/ max Sp. A + natured, and Life Orb using Psychic vs standard Tentacruel:
339 Atk vs 341 Def & 364 HP (90 Base Power): (46.70% - 54.95%)

The same Octillery w/ max A, + natured, and Life Orb using Return vs standard Tentacruel:
339 Atk vs 216 Def & 364 HP (102 Base Power): (40.93% - 48.35%)
(too lazy to run Charge Beam calcs)

Tenta vs Octillery max Sp.A + natured, Life Orb, Sludge Bomb:
284 Atk vs 186 Def & 292 HP (90 Base Power): (66.10% - 78.08%)

However, that is rarely the case, as Tenta usually don't invest in the offensive arenas, nor do it care much for orbs, so this would be more likely:
196 Atk vs 186 Def & 292 HP (90 Base Power): (34.93% - 41.44%)

Obviously, the last one is the most likely scenario.. and so, it turns out to be:

Tenta used Sludge Bomb!
Octillery lost 40% of its health.
Octillery used Psychic!
(It's super effective!)
Tenta lost 50% of its health.
Octillery lost 10% HP using its Life Orb!
Tenta restored 6% HP using its Leftovers.

Tenta 56% HP, Octillery 50% HP.

Tenta used Sludge Bomb!
Octillery lost 35% of its health.
Octillery used Psychic!
(It's super effective!)
Tenta lost 55% of its health.
Octillery lost 10% HP using its Life Orb!
Tenta restored 6% HP using its Leftovers.

Tenta 7% HP, Octillery 5% HP.

Tenta used Sludge Bomb!
Octillery lost 38% of its health.
Octillery fainted!

 

[True Reign]

Tentacruel.

I remember seeing the giant one in that one episode, lol.

 

[Opposite Day]

Tentacruel.

I remember seeing the giant one in that one episode, lol.

I think it has only appeared in one episode, lol :P

 

[Superjub]

Has Octillery EVER appeared in a episode? :\ (Btw, I dont watch the anime much, sorry. :\)
Anyway, I'm going to have to say Octillery because Remoraid is adorable, it's more rare, and it's RED! XD

 

[Yaliw]

Tentacruel. Poison Spikes. There, I win. End of Thread, Thanks for playing bu-bye

"oh but what about Octil~"
No, End of Thread, Tentacruel wins. Period. Bring him a challenge next time and I'll win the same way

:)

 

[white lancer]

Tentacruel. Octillery was a cool concept but he just ended up kinda forgettable. :-/

 

[Ayselipera]

I love both, but after raising both I think Tentacruel was the stronger one.
Thus making it better. Plus I hate Remoraid so much :\
