move 4: Focus Blast / Earthquake
ability: Regenerator
item: Assault Vest
evs: 248 HP / 48 Atk / SpA / 208 SpD
nature: Relaxed
Moves
========
-Giga Drain is the primary STAB move that deals with Water, Rock, and Ground types such as Alomamola and Rhyperior.
-Power Whip is an option for a more Physical based moveset.
-Knock Off is a great utility move that cripples lots of opponents and provides coverage on Ghost and Psychic types.
-Hidden Power Fire is to deal with opposing Steel types such as Doublade, Durant, Escavalier, and Registeel. It also hits things like Yanmega hard on the switch.
-Sludge Bomb is used to hit Fairy types such as Aromatisse, as well as opposing Grass types. It also provides neutral coverge against several opponents.
-Focus Blast can be used to hit Steel types and Dark types, but its bad accuracy is unappreciated.
-Earthquake is used to hit Electric types, and Steel types on a more Physically based set.
Set Details
========
-248 HP is used to give Tangrowth the bulk that it needs to perform its role.
-48 EVs go into either Attack or Special Attack to give it power, depending on whether the set is more Physically based or Specially based.
-208 EVs are used in Special Defense to pick up its lackluster Special bulk.
-A Relaxed nature is used to boost Tangrowths best stat, while lowering the one that matters the least.
-Assault Vest is used to pick up Tangrowths Special Defense even further at the cost of only being able to use attacking moves.
Usage Tips
========
-This set is used mostly as an offensive set.
-Tangrowth should not try to take on Special Attackers, as its Special Defense is still weak.
-It should not stay in too long as it has no reliable recovery moves with the Assault Vest.
-It should switch out after doing its job, to regain health with Regenerator.
Team Options
========
-Slowking for fire/ice. Tangrowth helps with electric types.
-Registeel for yanmega/hazards/twave support
-rhyperior for poison/flying/bug/fire. Tangrowth handles water.
Support
########

move 1: Giga Drain
move 2: Leech Seed / Synthesis
move 3: Sleep Powder / Stun Spore
move 4: Hidden Power Fire / Protect
ability: Regenerator

nature: Relaxed
Moves
========
-Giga Drain is the primary STAB move that deals with Water, Rock, and Ground types such as Alomamola and Rhyperior.
-Leech Seed is a great move to give extra recovery while draining its opponents HP each turn in tandem with Leftovers.
-Synthesis can be used to regain health fast, and can increase Tangrowths survivability.
-Sleep Powder is used to put opponents to sleep, and forces swiyches while also potentially crippling great threats to your team.
-On the other hand, Stun Spore can be used to cripple oppoents for the whole battle,and it is not limited to just one opponent.
-Hidden Power Fire is used to hit Steel and Bug types, as well as opposing Grass types that would otherwise wall it.
-Protect is used to gain extra health each turn from Leech seed and Leftovers. This should only be used with Leech Seed, however.
Set Details
========
-248 HP is used to give Tangrowth the bulk that it needs to perform its role.
-48 EVs go into Special Attack to give it power on its Specially based attacking moves.
-208 EVs are used in Special Defense to pick up its lackluster Special bulk.
-A Relaxed nature is used to boost Tangrowths best stat, while lowering the one that matters the least.
-Leftovers are used to gain more HP each turn.
Usage Tips
========
-Should switch out of Special Attackers.
-Regenerator, Leech Seed, and Leftovers provide longevity, so it can last a while, and works well with stall.
-Should only use protect with Leech Seed.
-Dont try to deal big damage with things, as it is mostly a staller and users of it must be patient.
Team Options
========
-Slowking for Fire types and Ice moves
-Registeel for hazards, twave support, flying types, namely Yanmega.
