Collector Insights
Tangrowth is a Grass-type Pokémon with 110 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It features two attacks: Power Whip, which deals 10 damage per basic Energy card attached to Tangrowth to a chosen opponent’s Pokémon, and Stick and Absorb, which inflicts 60 damage while removing three damage counters from Tangrowth and preventing the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent’s next turn. The card resists Water-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks by 30. It was released in the Great Encounters set of the Diamond & Pearl series, designed by Kent Kanetsuna. The flavor text describes Tangrowth as a creature that uses vine-like arms to trap prey, showing no distress from losing limbs. Its rarity is listed as Rare Holo, and it is numbered 10 in the set. The card’s artwork and design reflect its Grass-type identity and thematic connection to plant-based combat mechanics.
It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
