How Fast can you beat Pokemon Blue with just a Tentacruel?

See my complete Tier List Here! WARNING, contains spoilers. Contains Mons that have not yet come to the channel: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...


I've gotten a lot of request to do Tentacruel dating back almost a year ago. And I see why. 100 base speed with 120 base special. That's monstrous. Will being in the slow level up group hold it back from being top tier?


RULES:
1. I can only use Tentacruel in battle. Other Pokémon can be obtained for HMs ONLY.
2. No items in battle.
3. No glitches or exploits (badge boost is the exception due to the faulty programming of Red/ Blue).
4. No Double Team TM until level 100. Pokemon that learn the move naturally get an exception (new as of 6/18/23).
5. No saving between Elite 4 members.

What is the Badge Boost Glitch? When you collect odd numbered badges, the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives attack, Surge gives defense, Koga gives speed, and Blaine gives special. When any of your stats are modified, even if your opponent uses a move to modify your stats like Growl, the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defense/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error and recalculates your stats, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains.
