Pokémon: 10 Pokédex Entries That Were Absolute Lies

5. Tentacruel

Pokemon Pokedex Lies

The Pokedex Entry:

‘’It has 80 tentacles. Once they wrap around an enemy, the tentacles will not release, no matter what.’’ - Pokemon Stadium

In reality:

Okay, maybe maths isn’t my strongest point, but even I know roughly 80 of something when I see it, and there sure as hell ain’t 80 tentacles hanging down from that Tentacruel. Or any Tentacruel in fact.

I mean, it’s right there. We can see it. I count fourteen, and other Tentacruel sprites even fall as low as six!

Come on, Pokedex. I admire the boldness with which you stick to your guns, but maybe try a less easily disputable lie next time.
