Collector Insights

Tangrowth is a Grass-type Pokémon with 130 HP. It features two attacks: Bind Down, which costs one Grass energy to deal 30 damage and prevents the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent’s next turn, and Chlorowhip, requiring three Colorless energy to deal 90 damage while healing 60 damage if the Pokémon has at least two Grass Energy attached. The card has a retreat cost of three Colorless energy and no resistances, making it weak to Fire attacks with a ×2 multiplier. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Unbroken Bonds set, released on May 3, 2019, and is classified as a Rare card. The artwork is by artist Kodama, and the Pokémon’s flavor text describes it as ensnaring prey with vine-like arms, unaffected by losing limbs to predators. The card’s design emphasizes its Grass-type attributes and defensive capabilities through its abilities. Its straightforward mechanics focus on control and healing through energy management.

It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
