Pokédex entries

Diamond Pearl	It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
Platinum	Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut.
HeartGold	When it remains still, it appears to be a large shrub. Unsuspecting prey that wander near get ensnared by its vines.
SoulSilver	Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes.
Black White	Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut.
Black 2 White 2	Even if one of its arms is eaten, it’s fine. The Pokémon regenerates quickly and will go right back to normal.
X Omega Ruby	It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
Y Alpha Sapphire	Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes.
Sword	Tangrowth has two arms that it can extend as it pleases. Recent research has shown that these arms are, in fact, bundles of vines.
Shield	Vine growth is accelerated for Tangrowth living in warm climates. If the vines grow long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing parts of them off.
