Trivia
- Tentacruel's original English name was "Man O War".
- Although it is stated to have eighty tentacles, only a little more than ten can often be seen.
- Despite what the Generation III and beyond Pokédex entry states, Tentacruel cannot learn Flash.
- The anime's Pokédex entry labeling Tentacruel as the "Gangster of the sea" could be a reference to its pose in Pokémon Red and Blue, which resembles the way of how a mob leader would cross his arms.
- In Pokémon.com's online Pokédex, Tentacruel was randomly listed in the coding. It also mentioned Electric, possibly meaning that Tentacruel was originally to be part Electric-type.
Origin
Tentacruel is similar to the Portuguese man o' war, which is not a jellyfish but a cluster of polyps.
Name origin
Tentacruel's name is a combination of tentacle and cruel. Dokukurage literally means 毒水母, poison jellyfish.
