I think instead of Tentacley (which isn't a word), we could do...

Multilimb
Effect: Moves that constrict (BIND, WRAP, CONSTRICT, etc.) are increased in Power by x1.5.
Flavour: Multiple limbs make constricting moves slightly stronger.

Dry Skin doesn't seem fitting for aquatic open ocean-dwelling creatures. Perhaps Water Absorb instead?

Yeah, Tentacley was just a working title. Just an obscure reference to Pirates of the Carribean... I'm not sure about only x1.5 though. Because Constrict is so utterly piss-weak that x1.5 isn't really gonna help much. Thanks for the help though, I'll go with Multilimb for now, if no one can come up with a better name, and the flavour-text is good. But as for it's power, do you think the different constricting moves could have their own individual power increases, or just go for a larger increase than x1.5? Problem with that would be that other constricting moves would be overpowered, and the main purpose of the ability is to make Constrict useful.

And thanks Rahjet, you're right,Water Absorb is probably more fitting.

Though I do really love this suggestion, I would like to give you some constructive criticism. For one thing, I don't think "Mesquid" has the same ring as "Itsquid" or "Squimense". Perhaps you could call it "Centacle" (center + tentacle) or "Squiddle" (squid + middle). Secondly, I think there would have to be a really good reason for a Pokemon to be larger than Wailord, based on the blue whale, which is the largest living animal on Earth. I'm pretty sure there are a few PF Pokemon that are larger but are based on things like black holes, asteroids, and stars (which are obviously larger than a whale). I'm also making a sauropod Pokemon, Basaltosor, that is larger than Wailord (because a lot of sauropods really were bigger than the blue whale).

MY CURRENT SUGGESTIONS:

Marbront
Basaltosor
Hawkyte

Tortire

Have you thought about the kraken or other squid-like cryptids? I'm sure they're bigger than a blue whale.

....Actually that's quite true. The kraken was said to be several miles long (and that's NAUTICAL miles too which I'm FAIRLY certain is more than regular miles). So yeah. Forget my rant back there. Good suggestion! The Mesquid thing is just nit-picking....

Wow, great minds think alike. My region's replacement for Tentacool is called Squiddle, and the evo is Sinisquid. What a coincidence! XD Not that I mind if you go for that name- I probably wasn't going to suggest mine anyway. These are way better.

In my region I have Tentacool/cruel, but it's a version exclusive, forming a new relatonship with a line I made up that's made up of Jellsting & Poiselly.
For a size bigger than Wailord, maybe 52' 8''? Referencing the amount of feet in a mile?

Okay, well I did some research, and you're quite right, even the Colossal Squid is only half the size of a Blue Whale. I thought I'd read somewhere that it was lengthier when taking into account it's tentacles, but apparently not. Wailord, though, is only 14 metres, which is about the same length as the Colossal Squid (True Blue Whales being up to 33 metres) Still, the Kraken is a nice way of getting around this, good thinking Flars. What do you guys think of changing Squimense's Pokedex Type to "Kraken"? And I really liked your suggestions for Mesquid's name change Kooky, not sure which one I will go with though?

I think you'd be better off leaving the classification as 'Giant Squid', considering that's what it is, and not a kraken. And seeing that in real life, sperm whales feed on giant squids, I'd say that the height should stay close to that of Wailord's (maybe even a little under).

I'm totally on the fence about the Squiddle/Centacle thing! I've set it as Centacle for now, though.

I'd like to know peoples thoughts about the movesets, and about Squimense's Pokedex Data which I've just added, if you care.

PF Executive

I agree that Centacle is the better-sounding name.
Concerning movesets: I can understand a kind of weaponisation of Itsquid's ink that allows it to learn acid spit, but I don't understand how it can possibly learn Rust; If it were a barnacle I could see the angle, but for a baby squid, I can't. As for Centacle, I feel that Ripcurl is far too overpowered for a mid-stage 'mon, even if it was it's last level up move (then again, I have always had a problem with Ripcurl. May I suggest Taintedwater as an alternative, what with the whole poison ink deal). And Squimense: I'm not sure whether you are treating it as a true-to-life colossal squid or as a Kraken, and if it's the former then I don't even know how it's Hurricane attack is even going to work; it isn't even part wind-type.
Of course, it has long tentacles, it could use them for Spindrift. Or even Water Cage, If you feel that it needs more support moves.

(I am also aware that the sonic attacks don't make sense either, but there is precedence in Tentacool and Tentacruel somehow knowing Supersonic :P)
