Discarded. Blown into the wind. Now for the next pokemon.

Tentacool? But not Tentacool? This is Toedscool, a similar pokemon by design but is in no way a regional variant of Tentacool. Odd.

I'll give it an upvote because I like the idea of pokemon that appear to be similar yet are total different. It is like comparing animals from different regions as the same despite never interacting with each other. Thus theorizing on how such pokemon evolved or became separate species overtime. I think it is interesting from a world building standpoint.

Other than what I listed, I don't think Toedscool is any more interesting. If Game Freak wants to implement the idea of Darwinism of how pokemon look similar but are different species I think they should have chosen a more interesting pokemon. Toedscool is a walking mushroom based on a squid. Sounds cool in theory, but in practice it is ridiculous.

So as I was saying, Toedscruel has the exact same stats as Tentacruel. Normally that would be alright, but here's the problem. Tentacruel's stats work because it is water/poison. Amazing typing because that means Tentacruel's only weaknesses are ground (which can be circumvented by being good against), electricity and psychic. The last 2 usually being special oriented, and Tentacruel can tank. Being part poison also gives a poison immunity and makes toxic unable to miss.

Toedscruel? Being grass/ground doesn't work well with Tentacruel's stats. Even with a high sp. def., you take 4x ice damage and are now weak to fire. Both of which Tentacruel resisted. Your only resistances are ground and rock which is pitiful when Tentacruel has 8 resistances. You have an immunity to electric which somewhat helps, but it is not a paralysis immunity. Toedscruel has access to spore which is amazing, but that damned Mycelium Might always makes you go last. Also Toedscruel doesn't have acid armor like Tentacruel. Why is that? A mushroom should have that.

I believe so because mushrooms are natural decomposers. I like to think that when a mushroom decomposes something it can use it for acid armor. After all, mushrooms soak up chemicals from soil. Also one thing I forgot to mention is that Toedscruel lacks swords dance. It would actually benefit more from swords dance than Tentacruel even if using any status move means you go last.
