Tentacruel is a decent special wall with great set up and annoyance options with access to Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, Haze* and Rapid Spin* to name a few.

Tentacruel's move pool looks limited by is surprisingly versatile and can be very unpredictable, (after a swords dance Tentacruel can have 478 attack and 299 speed with a completely neutral nature).

(NOTE: Rapid Spin can not be on the same move pool with Haze as they are both egg moves and there are no compatible parents that can learn both at the same time).
