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.
