The two-neutron separation energies (S2n) and α-decay energies (Qα) of the Z = 114 isotopes are calculated by the deformed Skyrme–Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (SHFB) approach with the SLy5, T22, T32 and T43 interactions. It is found that the tensor force effect on the bulk properties is weak and the shell closure at N  = 184 is seen evidently with these interactions by analyzing the S2n and Qα evolutions with neutron number N . Meanwhile, the single-particle energy spectra of 298114 are studied using the spherical SHFB approach with these interactions to furthermore examine the shell structure of the magic nucleus 298114. It is shown that the shell structure is almost not changed by the inclusion of the tensor force in the Skyrme interactions. Finally, by examining the energy splitting of the three pairs of pseudospin partners for the protons and neutrons of 298114, it is concluded that the pseudospin symmetry of the neutron states is preserved better than that of the proton states and not all of the pseudospin symmetries of the proton and neutron states are influenced by the tensor force.
