Tangrowth (Japanese: モジャンボ Mojumbo) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Tangela when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power.

Biology

Tangrowth is a large Pokémon with a black body wrapped in blue vines. The vines are used to entangle foes and prey. A pair of saucer-like eyes peeks out from beneath the tangled mess of vines. However, these eyes may be hidden in warm seasons due to how profusely the vines grow. Its stubby black feet are tipped with red. Tangrowth has a pair of blue boneless arms that have three fingers. These fingers are completely red on a female Tangrowth, while they have red tips on a male. Tangrowth is unfazed if one of its arms is broken off, as it will easily grow back.

In the anime

A Tangrowth makes an appearance in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, under the ownership of Tammy.

Minor appearances

A Trainer's Tangrowth briefly appeared in Working on a Right Move!, in which it defeated another Trainer's Hippowdon in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP134 Tangrowth Dawn's Pokédex Tangrowth, the Vine Pokémon. Tangrowth captures its prey by extending its arms, which are made of vines.

In the manga

Tangrowth in Pokémon Adventures

In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga

Hiori has a Tangrowth who debuted in Challenge From A Rival. Its vines can be used as ropes to lower Hiori and others down from roofs. It can also use Sleep Powder to help Hiori get by guards.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Jupiter attacked Platinum, Candice, and Maylene using her Tangrowth, Sableye, and Gastrodon when they arrived in Lake Acuity. Most notably, it faced off against Candice's Abomasnow, and was able to overpower and defeat it using a Fire-typed Natural Gift.

In subsequent appearances, Jupiter's Tangrowth used only Natural Gift, and its strategy was easily worked around.

Trivia

Origin

It is based on vines. Considering Tangrowth's shaggy appearance, Tangrowth may be based on an exaggerated concept of a shaggy caveman. It may also be based on a Green Man, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines. Its appearance and behavior also match that of the Bornean orangutan and Sumatran orangutan.

Name origin

Tangrowth is a combination of tangle and growth.

Mojumbo is a combination of もじゃもじゃ mojamoja (shaggy or unkempt) and jumbo (referring to its size).
