Pokédex Entries

Sword "Tangrowth has two arms that it can extend as it pleases. Recent research has shown that these arms are, in fact, bundles of vines." Shield "Vine growth is accelerated for Tangrowth living in warm climates. If the vines grow long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing parts of them off."
Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl "It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it."
Legends: Arceus "Draped with long vines, it resembles a shrub in appearance. It swings bundles of vines as though they were arms, wrapping them around prey to ensnare them."
X "It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it." Y "Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes."
Alpha Sapphire "Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes." Omega Ruby "It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it."
Black White "Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut."
Black 2 White 2 "Even if one of its arms is eaten, it’s fine. The Pokémon regenerates quickly and will go right back to normal."
Diamond Pearl "It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it."
Platinum "Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut."
