Relaxed Nature
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
Tangrowth is an incredible physical wall in UU thanks to its natural bulk and Regenerator. Its defensive prowess can handle most physical attackers like Zeraora and Lycanroc-D and wear them down with Rocky Helmet. Tangrowth can often stomach unboosted super effective hits and use Sleep Powder before switching. Giga Drain gives Tangrowth some healing and lets it hit Terrakion, Azumarill, and Diggersby. Knock Off is able to threaten Latias and Victini while crippling Pokemon such as Jirachi, Celesteela, and Rotom-H. Sludge Bomb gives Tangrowth coverage for Tapu Bulu and Hatterene. Earthquake works as an alternative to Sludge Bomb or Sleep Powder to hit Nidoqueen, Nihilego, and Bisharp. Specially defensive walls such as Chansey and Slowking prevent Tangrowth from getting easily taken advantage of by Pokemon like Salamence and Volcanion. In return, it can stop Terrakion, Lycanroc-D, and Azumarill. Electric-immune Pokemon like Krookodile, Rhyperior, and Nidoqueen help Tangrowth deal with Zeraora, Rotom-H, and both Thundurus formes. Latias and Salamence help with Kommo-o and Amoonguss, which would otherwise stop Tangrowth easily with their typing and abilities.
