In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 535, Tangrowth plays as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Its standout stat is Defense at 125, while Special Defense (50) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Grass combination gives Tangrowth 4 resistances and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 30 makes Tangrowth a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
