Sporting good physical bulk and the Regenerator ability, Tangrowth can act as a great check to a lot of physical attackers like Urshifu-R, Landorus-T and Great Tusk. They struggle to deal significant damage to it and get chipped via Rocky Helmet. Tangrowth can be a great utility Pokemon with moves such as Knock Off that cripples its foes by removing their items. Focus Blast can aid against Kingambit and Melmetal, as well as killing Heatran in a pinch. Sleep Powder can be a great emergency button to momentarily shut down a Pokemon and Stun Spore can completely hampen their offensive capabilities.
With its superior bulk and endless recovery via its ability, Tangrowth can be a crucial piece in balance and even bulky offense teams. Tangrowth can take on popular Ground-types like Iron Treads and Great Tusk, paving the way for teammates like Raging Bolt. Tangrowth has a good matchup aginst bulky Water-types like Alomomola and Slowbro, which can be very helpful for Urshifu-R. It also has the distinctive role of being great at checking Ogerpon-Wellspring due to its typing and bulk. This can be beneficial to a variety of Pokemon such as Gliscor, Ting Lu and Alomomola. Its special bulk is very lacking, and it can barely survive any special hit even from full health. Special walls like Slowking-Galar and Clodsire can form great defensive cores alongside it with Tangrowth helping them out against Ground-types. Garchomp and Moltres are also great teammates, as they can deal with Pokemon that annoy Tangrowth like Volcarona, Charizard-Mega-Y and Gholdengo.
