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.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)
Biology
Tangrowth is a large Pokémon with a black body wrapped in a large mass of blue vines. The vines are used to entangle foes and prey. A pair of saucer-like eyes peek out from beneath the tangled mess of vines. Its stubby black feet are tipped with red. Tangrowth has a pair of blue boneless arms that have three fingers. The arms are made from bundles of vines. 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. It hunts by disguising itself as a shrub, then grabbing prey with its vines. However, Tangrowth has been known to eat fruit as well. It can extend its arms as much as it wants. Predators like to eat Tangrowth's vines. When the climate is warm, its vine growth is accelerated to the point where not even its eyes can be seen. If its vines grow too long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing bits of them off. Tangrowth is very rare in the wild, though it can be found in temperate grasslands.
Evolution
Tangrowth evolves from Tangela.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

In the manga
Phantom Thief Pokémon 7
Hiori has a Tangrowth, which 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.
Pokémon Adventures
In Getting Past Gastrodon, 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.
A Tangrowth liberated by Team Plasma appeared in The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition as one of the Pokémon stuck in N's Castle.

In the TCG
- Main article: Tangrowth (TCG)
Trivia
- Until the release of Pokémon Platinum, the only way to obtain Tangrowth was to transfer a Tangela via Pal Park and evolve it. This was the only case in which a Generation IV Pokémon was only obtainable through Pal Park.
Origin
Due to the mystery around Tangela's appearance under the vines, Tangrowth may be based on the swamp monster from the short story "It!" by Theodore Sturgeon, which is ultimately revealed to have formed around a human skeleton. It may also be based on a Green Man, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines (this may also have inspired Tangrowth's Shiny form's green color).
Its Pokédex entries state that its vines will bind and ensnare its surroundings. This may be a reference to thigmotropism, a biological reaction plants have towards contact that encourages them to coil around objects they touch as they grow, allowing stability in their stems and branches.
Name origin
Tangrowth may be a combination of tangle and growth.
Mojumbo may be a combination of もじゃもじゃ mojamoja (shaggy or unkempt) and jumbo.
