Tangrowth

Tangrowth's great physical bulk, defensive typing, and access to Regenerator make it a physical wall that consistently checks prominent Pokemon such as Zeraora, Garchomp, Kartana, and Urshifu-R. Useful utility moves such as Knock Off, Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore relieve Tangrowth's passivity issue and allow it to punish Pokemon such as Heatran, Zapdos, and Kyurem that would otherwise be able to switch in on it. Unfortunately, Tangrowth still has issues against certain physical attackers such as Weavile, Galarian Zapdos, and Buzzwole, and its abysmal special bulk leaves it open to threats such as Kyurem, Tapu Lele, Calm Mind Clefable, and Heatran. Tangrowth also is vulnerable to Future Sight, which invalidates its ability to wall Pokemon it would usually check. It also faces stiff competition from Ferrothorn as a defensive Grass-type, as Ferrothorn carries Spikes, which allows it to support its teammates and threaten entry hazard removers with Knock Off. Despite these flaws, Tangrowth is sought out for its better long term matchup against hyper offense teams, as it can constantly regenerate its health to take on these teams' multiple offensive threats.
