    Draped with long vines, it resembles a shrub in appearance. It swings bundles of vines as though they were arms, wrapping them around prey to ensnare them.

    Legends: Arceus

    Tangrowth has two arms that it can extend as it pleases. Recent research has shown that these arms are, in fact, bundles of vines.

    Sword

    Vine growth is accelerated for Tangrowth living in warm climates. If the vines grow long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing parts of them off.

    Shield

    It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.

    Omega Ruby · X · Diamond · Pearl

    Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes.

    Alpha Sapphire · Y · SoulSilver

    Even if one of its arms is eaten, it’s fine. The Pokémon regenerates quickly and will go right back to normal.

    Black 2 · White 2

    Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut.

    Black · White · Platinum

    When it remains still, it appears to be a large shrub. Unsuspecting prey that wander near get ensnared by its vines.
