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.
Brilliant Diamond
Shining Pearl
It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
Legends: Arceus Draped with long vines, it resembles a shrub in appearance. It swings bundles of vines as though they were arms, wrapping them around prey to ensnare them.
