Game Locations
Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | Draped with long vines, it resembles a shrub in appearance. It swings bundles of vines as though they were arms, wrapping them around prey to ensnare them. |
| Platinum | Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut. |
| Heartgold | When it remains still, it appears to be a large shrub. Unsuspecting prey that wander near get ensnared by its vines. |
| Soulsilver | Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes. |
| Black2 | Even if one of its arms is eaten, it’s fine. The Pokémon regenerates quickly and will go right back to normal. |
| White2 | Even if one of its arms is eaten, it’s fine. The Pokémon regenerates quickly and will go right back to normal. |
| Sword | Tangrowth has two arms that it can extend as it pleases. Recent research has shown that these arms are, in fact, bundles of vines. |
| Shield | Vine growth is accelerated for Tangrowth living in warm climates. If the vines grow long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing parts of them off. |
