Tangrowth (Japanese: モジャンボ Mojumbo) is a Grass-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Tangela when leveled up while knowing AncientPower.
Biology
Physiology
Tangrowth is a 6-foot-tall Pokémon with a black body wrapped in blue vines. Its stubby black feet are tipped with red. Tangrowth has grown a pair of blue arms that have three fingers that are tipped with red. A pair of saucer-like eyes peek out from beneath the tangled mess of vines.
Gender differences
A female Tangrowth's fingers are completely red while a male's fingers only have red tips.
Special abilities
Much like Tangela, Tangrowth can ensnare and entangle its foes with its vines. Tangrowth can also launch powders that stun or poison the foe. Tangrowth is capable of swinging from branches in a somewhat ape-like manner with speed and agility, making it able to potentially dodge enemy attacks. If one of its arms breaks off, it will easily grow back.
Behavior
Tangrowth are quite unintelligent and slow, but also very friendly. Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, it obscures Tangrowth's eyes. Tangrowth's arms are boneless and are unable to respond to pain, meaning that the arms can break off and Tangrowth wouldn't mind if the situation actually did occur.
Habitat
Tangrowth live in or near jungles with its pre-evolution Tangela and other Grass-types.

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.
Name origin
Tangrowth is a combination of tangle and growth.
Mojumbo is a combination of もじゃもじゃ mojyamojya (shaggy or unkempt) and jumbo (referring to its size).
