Tangrowth is a slow, physically bulky mixed attacker. With 125 defense and 100 hp, it will tank physical attacks very well. Its special defense is its main weakness at only 50. It boasts 100 attack and 110 special attack making it a very passable attacker and special attacker. Tangrowth has a scary arsenal of moves including Sleep Powder, Rage Powder, Leech Seed, Pain Split, and Knock Off on the more supportive side. Tangrowth can set up with Swords Dance or heal itself with Giga Drain. It gets interesting coverage including Poison Jab and Stomping Tantrum. Tangrowth gets Regenerator to help it heal up and can even run Chlorophyll if desired. However, at 50 speed even under sun it may struggle to outspeed the fastest opponents. On the flip side, this makes Tangrowth a powerful Trick Room or anti-Trick Room threat. If there wasn’t as much redirection available, Tangrowth would be more valuable, but it still should do the redirection job quite well on whatever team it lands on.
