Tangrowth
MetaMons competitive notes
Tangrowth is a grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 535 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 50) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Chlorophyll ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Tangrowth. Build around what Tangrowth actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
