Tangrowth (Japanese:モジャンボMojumbo) is aGrass-typePokémon introduced inGeneration IV.

Itevolves fromTangela whenleveled up while knowingAncient Power.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer toGame data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Tangrowth is a largePokémon with a black body wrapped in a large mass of blue vines. The vines are used to entangle foes and prey. A pair of saucer-like eyes peek out from beneath the tangled mess of vines. Its stubby black feet are tipped with red. Tangrowth has a pair of blue boneless arms that have three fingers. The arms are made from bundles of vines and can be extended to a great length. The fingers on these arms are completely red on a female Tangrowth, while they have red tips on a male.

Tangrowth is unfazed if one of its arms is broken off, as it willeasily grow back. It hunts by disguising itself as a shrub, then grabbing prey with its vines. However, Tangrowth has been known to consume fruit as well. Predators have been known to eat Tangrowth's vines. When the climate is warm, its vine growth is accelerated to the point where not even its eyes can be seen. If its vines grow too long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing bits of them off. Tangrowth is very rare in the wild, though it can be found in temperate grasslands and swamps.
