CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Tentacruel hunts with eighty tentacles that extend and retract like a net. It weakens prey with toxins and uses the red orbs on its head to emit ultrasound. Those same orbs flash when it wants to warn its kind. The Pokédex describes a sea hunter whose lights are not decorative: they play a part in capture and group communication.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Moon describes Tentacruel's red orbs as a signaling system between its kind. Pokémon Sword warns that an intense glow announces ultrasound. Watching these orbs can therefore reveal a social alert or the start of an attack.
