Rocky Helmet Tangrowth can actually lose to SD Gliscor, with well timed roosts or if its Helmet gets knocked off. If it gets Poisoned by a stray TSpike, this issue is further worsened. Tangrowth is also unable to fit Hidden Power Fire on these builds to nail Kartana and pressure Ferrothorn, although it can run Focus Blast for a (albeit inconsistent) way to hit Kart.
However, Worry Seed changes all of this. Tangrowth can consistently pivot into Gliscor and slowly watch and wait as its its Toxic damage goes up, and then BAM, use Worry Seed and change its ability to Insomnia. This means the Gliscor wont have Poison Heal anymore, and at the end of the turn, usually instantly faint. The other moves are filler, though you probably want Sleep Powder to prssure the other grounds.
