Tangela (Japanese: モンジャラ, HepburnMonjara) (TANG-guh-luh[1]) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Tangela is a Vine Pokémon. Its body is covered with blue vines covered with tiny hairs that grow to give the impression that Tangela is circular in shape. Two big eyes are all people see inside the vines and there are no visible arms. It also has two red feet that poke out of the vines.

Behavior[]

A Tangela's vines never stop moving. Though they are genetically closely related to seaweed, they do not require any more water than the average plant. Their vines never stop growing and can regenerate. This allows Tangela to snap off vines painlessly to distract predators and regrow them later as soon as the next day.

Their vines have a distinctive scent and are used as an herb in some parts of Galar. The swaying of their vines can be mysteriously unnerving to onlookers. Their vines are covered in fine hairs that tickle those caught within and also allow Tangela to use their vines as arms; the hairs can “feel” objects when brushed against them and detect ​changes in air pressure and humidity.

Their vines latch onto anything that moves. If Tangela grab foes that turn out to be too strong, their vines will break off and allow them to escape.

Natural abilities[]

Since Tangela are shrouded in blue vines, no one has seen their face hidden behind this growth of vines. However, these vines impart a refreshing sensation when chewed, so they are useful as spices.

Evolution[]

Tangela evolves into Tangrowth when leveled up while knowing the move Ancient Power.

Trivia[]

  • Despite having vines, it couldn't learn Vine Whip in Red and Blue, though it could in Pokémon Yellow.
  • Tangela was the only pure Grass-type Pokémon in Generation I, thus, Tangela is the first pure Grass-type Pokémon in the National Pokédex.
  • Tangela's original name was Meduza which was inspired by the Greek monster, Medusa. Medusa was a woman with numerous, vine-like snakes as hair with the ability to turn anyone that made eye contact with her to stone.
  • Tangela is the only non-Generation II Pokémon that evolves only when knowing Ancient Power.
    • Similarly, Tangela is one of the ten Pokémon that evolves upon knowing a move. In this case, it needs to know the move Ancient Power.
    • It is also the only one that isn't captured by a main character in the Sinnoh Series.
  • In the Beta release of Gold & Silver, Tangela had a baby form and evolution known as Monja and Jaranra. Jaranra was later developed into Tangrowth in Generation IV.
  • Tangela, along with Exeggcute and Exeggutor were the only Grass-types not to be paired with the Poison type in Generation I.

Origin[]

Tangela may be based on a cluster of vines and possibly a tumbleweed. It may also be based on Medusa, a gorgon who had tangling snakes as hair and could turn individuals to stone with a glare. This is possibly referenced by how it evolves through knowing Ancient Power, a Rock-type move.

Etymology[]

Tangela may come from tangle and Medusa.
