Collector Insights

Tangela is a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featured in the Vending Machine Series 2 (Red) set released on June 17, 1998. The card is illustrated by artist Miki Tanaka and carries a themecolor of #b8b7a8. It has two attacks: Constrict, which costs one Grass Energy and deals 10 damage, and Vine Whip, requiring one Grass and one Colorless Energy to deal 20 damage. Constrict’s effect involves flipping a coin, granting the Defending Pokémon a restriction on retreats if the flip results in heads. The restriction lasts until the end of the opponent’s next turn and also nullifies certain effects that would change the Active Pokémon. Vine Whip’s attack text does not include additional effects beyond its damage output. The card’s rarity is listed as Common, making it accessible to collectors and players.
