In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 435, Tangela plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Defense at 115, while Special Defense (40) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Its Grass typing leaves Tangela with 5 weaknesses against 4 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Tangela a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
