Pokedex descriptions

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 HeartGold	The vines that cloak its entire body are always jiggling. They effectively unnerve its foes.
Silver SoulSilver	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.
Emerald	Its vines snap off easily and painlessly if they are grabbed, allowing it to make a quick getaway. The lost vines are replaced by new growth the very next day.
FireRed	Blue plant vines cloak the POKéMON’s identity in a tangled mass. It entangles anything that gets close.
LeafGreen	The whole body is swathed with wide vines that are similar to seaweed. The vines sway as it walks.
Diamond Pearl	It is shrouded by blue vines. No one has seen the face hidden behind this growth of vines.
Platinum Black White	The blue vines shrouding its body are covered in a growth of fine hair. It is known to be ticklish.
Black 2 White 2	Many writhing vines cover it, so its true identity remains unknown. The blue vines grow its whole life long.
