Trivia
- Tangela's "normal" coloring during Pokémon Gold and Silver depicted its vines being turquoise. This was corrected back to blue in Pokémon Crystal.
- Tangela's original name was "Meduza," a misspelling of "Medusa" (a Greek mythological character).
- Tangela is the first pure Template:Type2 in the National Dex.
- Tangela is also the only pure Grass-type in Generation I. Others were either part Bug-, part Psychic-, or part Template:Type2.
- Up until Generation IV, Tangela was the only Generation I Grass-type to not evolve into or from something.
- Although it is said to live in plains, its friend area in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is the Jungle. Also, its Pal Park area is the Forest.
- Tangela and Tropius are the only two Pokémon that are not starters or legendaries of a previous generation unavailable in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. They must be transferred forward from a Generation III game or traded from Pokémon Platinum.
- Despite being made of vines, in Pokémon Red and Blue, it couldn't learn Vine Whip. This was later allowed in Pokémon Yellow.
Origin
Tangela is probably based on Medusa, a gorgon of Greek mythology, who had a head of snakes and turned any creature that saw her into stone. The tentacles on Tangela, however, are vines. It's Crystal sprite shows it curling into a ball, meaning it may also have design elements from Tumbleweed or Bird-Cage plants.
Name origin
Tangela's name is probably based on the word tangle. Its Japanese name may be based on もじゃもじゃ mojyamojya, which means shaggy, or unkempt.
