Tangrowth is the evolved form of Tangela. We expect it to cost 50 Tangela Candy to evolve a Tangela into a Tangrowth.

PLACE IN THE META:
 The hype should be real for this Pokémon! Tangrowth is forecasted to be the best Grass-type in Pokémon GO, should it get the right moves. It's stats are very well-rounded, allowing it to deal a good amount of damage and survive attacks from powerful opponents.

Tangrowth is a pure Grass-type. This makes it weak to Fire-, Ice-, Poison-, Bug-, and Flying-type attacks; as well as resistant to Electric-, Grass-, Ground-, and Water-type attacks.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Tangrowth:
  • Infestation
  • Poison Jab
  • Vine Whip

Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Tangrowth:
  • Earthquake
  • Grass Knot
  • Hyper Beam
  • Power Whip
  • ​Solar Beam

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Tangrowth's movepool:
  • Giga Impact
  • Knock Off

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 4, Tangrowth gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution.
Thanks for reading, Trainers!
