Listen "Beyond the Ball 161 - Tangela"
Episode Synopsis
We're back to talk about the one and only Vines With Shoes Pokemon, Tangela! Join us as we answer the big question on everyone's mind: Who is Tangela? Follow along with the entries below:
Red & Blue: The whole body is swathed with wide vines that are similar to seaweed. Its vines shake as it walks.
Yellow: Its identity is obscured by masses of thick, blue vines. The vines are said to never stop growing.
Gold: The vines that cloak its entire body are always jiggling. They effectively unnerve its foes.
Silver: It tangles any moving thing with its vines. Their subtle shaking is ticklish if you get ensnared.
Crystal: During battle, it constantly moves the vines that cover its body in order to annoy its opponent.
Ruby & Sapphire: TANGELA’s vines snap off easily if they are grabbed. This happens without pain, allowing it to make a quick getaway. The lost vines are replaced by newly grown vines the very next day.
FireRed: Blue plant vines cloak the POKéMON’s identity in a tangled mass. It entangles anything that gets close.
Diamond & Pearl: It is shrouded by blue vines. No one has seen the face hidden behind this growth of vines.
Platinum: The blue vines shrouding its body are covered in a growth of fine hair. It is known to be ticklish.
Black & White 2: Many writhing vines cover it, so its true identity remains unknown. The blue vines grow its whole life long.
Sword: Hidden beneath a tangle of vines that grows nonstop even if the vines are torn off, this Pokémon’s true appearance remains a mystery.
Shield: The vines of a Tangela have a distinct scent. In some parts of Galar, Tangela vines are used as herbs.
Legends: Arceus: It is cloaked entirely in blue vines, preventing any glimpse of its true identity. The vines impart a refreshing sensation when chewed—they’re useful as a spice.
BTB: It's a very unnverving tickle monster but at least you can eat it. It's true identity is Tangela
