Tangrowth

() is a -Type Pokémon that was introduced in Generation IV. 
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tangrowth is a big, heavy Pokémon with thick, shaggy vines all over its entire body, save for a few spots. Its extendable arms (which are also composed of vines) have three magenta-colored fingers. It also has stubby magenta-colored feet and white eyes with black pupils, making them resemble googly eyes. However, although its eyes are sometimes visible, they get hidden in warm areas because of their profuse growth.
===Gender differences===
Females have more magenta on their fingers than the males.
===Behavior===
Tangrowth are predatory Pokémon that bind and ensnare their prey with vines. To get their prey to get close enough without spooking them, they often pretend to be large, unassuming shrubs. However, although they are predators themselves, Tangrowth have predators of their own (though they don't mind being attacked by them because of their regeneration).
===Natural abilities===
As shown by their Hidden Ability in Regenerator, Tangrowth have an amazing healing factor. Their vines grow back very quickly if they get cut, so they don't mind losing them.
==Evolution==
Tangrowth evolves from Tangela by leveling up after it learns the move Ancient Power.

==Appearances==
===Anime===
Tangrowth first appeared in The Rise of Darkrai, but only as a cameo.
Tangrowth's first real appearance was in Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!. It pretended it was the king of the forest when it hurt Dawn's Mamoswine and Ash's Grotle. Tangrowth at the end healed them both.
In the thirteenth movie, Tangrowth was a major character. It was a friend of Ash's Pikachu that met him in a forest in Johto. Not much is known about it because the movie wasn't released.

==Trivia==
*Tangrowth is the only non-Legendary/Mythical Pokémon that was not natively available in the game it was introduced in. Although it was introduced in Diamond & Pearl, it could not be obtained without the GBA games to transfer Tangela from or trading with others.
===Origin===
Like its pre-evolution, Tangrowth is based on a bunch of vines or a bush. It may also take inspiration from swamp monsters.
===Etymology===
Tangrowth comes from "tangle" and "growth".
Mojanbo comes from もじゃもじゃ (mojamoja, unkempt), "jumbo" (large), and possibly the Swahili greeting jambo, as Swahili is spoken in some parts of Africa, known for its abundance of nature.
