Strategy Overview
Game Freak really must not have liked Tangela, because they took away an astonishing 120 points from its Special Defense, essentially taking away any of Tangela's tanking ability. It not learning Leech Seed is a bummer too. However, Tangela has potential in UU for absorbing hits from threats that only have physical attacks.
