What is a good moveset for Tangrowth?

Yep, I missed another one. Mine is EV trained in Attack, Speed, and HP. It has the ability Chlorophyll. It knows:

Power Whip: High power, STAB, decent PP.

Earthquake: Obviously.

Sleep Powder: Puts the foe to Sleep.

Knock Off: Knocks off the foe's item.

Since Yours Is EV Trained In Attack, I Will Give A Physical Moveset. If You Would Also Like The Special Moveset, Comment Below, and Ill Edit it.

Physical: Item: Quick Claw:
Moveset:
Rock Slide: It Covers So Many Weaknesses, that Just Like Sceptile, It Is Worth It.
Power Whip/Seed Bomb: STAB, Decent Coverage.
Sleep Powder Isnt Exactly Accurate, But If You Want To Keep It Go Ahead. If Not, I Would Suggest Earthquake To Cover Its Final Weakness.
Finally: Leech Seed: For Healing, Or Brick Break or Poison Jab For More Coverage.

Special Moveset:
Mine As Well Make Use Of That Chloyaphyl, or Leaf Guard.
Sunny Day: Ability, Solarbeam, Etc.
Solarbeam: STAB Strong Acc. and Power
Ancientpower: Covers 4 Weaknesses
Synthesis: Heals Alot Of HP In The Sun:)
Preferably Holding A Heat Rock.

Sure, give a Special moveset so that people with a special Tangrowth will have a moveset. And I think I'll do Poison Jab instead of Knock Off.

description Sun sweeper
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Chlorophyll
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 S.Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Hp


Growth
Solar-beam/Giga-drain
Hidden-power(Fire)
Focus-blast/Ancient-power


Growth boosts S.Attack (and attack but that is not important here) by 2 stages in the sun. Solar-beam is powerful STAB while Giga-drain is healing STAB. Hidden-power(Fire) is coverage and is boosted by the sun. Focus-blast is coverage while Ancient-power is for some fun coverage that can boost all stats for some fun.

Note: You can make this set a Physical one too if you just go Jolly and swap the S.attack EVs for Attack, then teach it Seed-bomb, E-quake, and Rock-slide/Brick-break. Also this set requires Sun-support.

Earthquake-Decent power accuracy and PP

Synthesis-Leech seed or giga drain arn't necessary if you can heal this way

Rock Slide-Coverage

Power Whip-Reasonably accurate and really powerful

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator/Leaf-guard
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 Defense, 180 Hp, 78 S.Defense


Amnesia
Leech-seed
Sleep-powder/Toxic
Giga-drain


Amnesia is for boosting that terrible S.Defense. Leech-seed is for stalling and healing. Sleep-powder gives you more time to heal/boost, while Toxic is for more stalling. Giga-drain is STAB and healing.
