Tentacruel doesn't do a whole lot, and Shadow Tentacruel does a lot more... of not a whole lot. Sadly, John Hanke's favorite Pokemon still doesn't make many waves even with the coveted Shadow boost

Acid
Sludge Wave
Sludge Wave
  • Poison Jab and Acid are similar, though the former tends to pull ahead. Poison Sting falls behind.
  • Hydro Pump is optimal for the raw power and STAB, but Sludge Wave creates a full Poison-type moveset.
  • Blizzard is a solid move, but there are better candidates for Ice-type offense.
  • Scald is a downgrade. 
  • Acid Spray is a terrible move in raids, and Payback has no real utility.

Scald
Scald
  • Poison Jab is only slightly better than Acid for the damage; both are usable.
  • Scald is the best Charge Move for defense due to its greater usage frequency as a 2-bar move. 
  • Hydro Pump, Sludge Wave, and Blizzard all take a very long time to access, and Shadow Tentacruel might faint before then.
  • Acid Spray is meant for PvP. 
  • Poison Sting falls behind on defense, and Payback is too slow.
