Collector Insights

Tangela is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, featured in the Burning Shadows set released on August 5, 2017. It has 80 HP and requires two Colorless energy cards to retreat. The card’s attack, Bind Down, costs one Grass energy and deals 10 damage, preventing the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent’s next turn. Tangela’s flavor text describes its hidden nature, with blue vines obscuring its true form throughout its life. The card is classified as Common rarity and was illustrated by Shibuzoh. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The Pokémon’s design emphasizes its connection to plant life, as reflected in its abilities and artwork. This card provides a straightforward defensive strategy through its unique retreat restriction.

Many writhing vines cover it, so its true identity remains unknown. The blue vines grow its whole life long.
