Moveset
Tentacool can learn cut but it's not listed on the Gen IV TM/HM moveset. Smythe 18:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Eyes?
The description of Tentacool says it has "...two large, transparent, crystal-like red eyes on each side of its body, and one small one in the middle..." and that it "...shoots beams from its crystal-like eyes..."
Aren't its eyes those two white things (with the black pupils) on its lower body...? I think those crystals are just, well, crystals. ShinyAeon 14:45, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Possible origins for Icelandic name?
i'm not Icelandic and i'm not fluent at the language at all, but i did some sleuthing and found some words that could point to its Icelandic name origin (Ofsasvalt): the word "ofsa" meaning arrogant, excessive/exaggerated, or an adverb meaning "very"; and "svalt" meaning cool (both as in temperature cool and stylish cool). idk if i want to add the etymology to the page myself though, since again, i'm not Icelandic and i could get things wrong. plus there's little information on the internet regarding Icelandic so yeah.
