Tangela's colossal physical bulk when equipped with an Eviolite makes it a solid counter to top threats like Swords Dance Galarian Rapidash, Morpeko, and Gourgeist. Access to Knock Off makes it a capable team supporter that can cripple Pokemon that would otherwise try to take advantage of it, like Appletun and Unfezant. Leech Seed allows it to annoy otherwise decent switch-ins like Drifblim and Klinklang, making it less passive. Sleep Powder can be used instead to cripple these threats, though it makes Tangela slightly more passive. Synthesis in the last slot makes it easier for Tangela to last throughout the match, ensuring it can check foes like Throh and Fraxure throughout the match. Sludge Bomb can be used instead, giving Tangela a way to hit Appletun, Galarian Rapidash, and Lilligant quite hard, notably preventing the latter from setting up on Tangela if it has taken some prior damage. Worry Seed is also an option that prevents Pokemon like Throh and Type: Null from using Rest, denying their recovery, as well as crippling Dubwool. It can also remove abilities from Pokemon that rely on them in a pinch, like Drifblim's Unburden.

Tangela is a good fit on balanced teams that appreciate its ability to take hits from the likes of Throh and Boltund. Type: Null is a great teammate, being able to handle special attackers that threaten Tangela like Heatmor and Mr. Rime. It appreciates Tangela's ability to handle Fighting-types like Hitmonchan in return. Stunfisk is a great partner, handling Pokemon like Unfezant, Raboot, and Klinklang that Tangela can struggle with. It also sets Stealth Rock, which is helpful for the many switches Tangela forces. In return, Tangela can take some pressure off Stunfisk to switch into Pokemon like Swords Dance Galarian Rapidash, and it can also check Pokemon like Sandslash and Drednaw. Wallbreakers like Galarian Rapidash, Mr. Rime, and Lilligant appreciate Tangela's ability to switch into Pokemon that threaten to revenge kill them, like Alolan Dugtrio, Choice Scarf Drednaw, and Lycanroc-M. Throh is a great teammate for Tangela; despite their shared weakness to Pokemon like Unfezant, Throh can handle Knock Off from the likes of Mareanie and Pawniard with ease, making Tangela's job a lot easier. It also acts as a capable switch-in to certain physical attackers that Tangela has a shaky matchup against, like Klinklang and Alolan Dugtrio. Entry hazard removal is helpful too, as Tangela can struggle a lot with Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Hattrem's Magic Bounce is helpful for this, but other removers like Unfezant and Drifblim also pair well with Tangela for this reason.

Tangela's colossal physical bulk when equipped with an Eviolite makes it a solid counter to top threats like Swords Dance Galarian Rapidash, Morpeko, and Sandslash, though it must be wary of Knock Off (mention gourgeist instead). Its own access to Knock Off makes it a capable team supporter that can cripple Pokemon that would otherwise try to take advantage of it, like Hattrem (it doesnt rlly, i feel like apple would be a better example here) and Unfezant. Leech Seed allows it to annoy otherwise decent switch-ins like Drifblim and Klinklang, making it less passive. Sleep Powder can be used instead to cripple these threats, though it makes Tangela slightly more passive. Synthesis in the last slot makes it easier for Tangela to last throughout the match, ensuring it can check foes like Throh and Fraxure throughout the match. Sludge Bomb can be used instead, giving Tangela a way to hit Appletun and Galarian Rapidash quite hard (running sludge bomb means lilli cant use u as a setup fodder without getting weakened and risking the potential poiso) . Worry Seed is also an option that prevents Pokemon like Throh and Type: Null from using Rest, denying their recovery. (it's mostly ran for dubwool, so mention that too) It can also remove abilities from Pokemon that rely on them in a pinch, like removing Drifblim's Unburden.

Tangela is a good fit on balanced teams that appreciate its ability to take hits from the likes of Throh and Boltund. Type: Null is a great teammate, being able to handle special attackers that threaten Tangela like Kadabra (not the best example considering it probably takes over half from all of tangela's moves bar sludge bomb. mention heatmor instead) and Mr. Rime. It appreciates Tangela's ability to handle Fighting-types like Hitmonchan in return. Stunfisk is a great partner, handling Pokemon like Unfezant and Raboot (mention klink) that Tangela can struggle with. It also sets up Stealth Rock, which is helpful for the many switches Tangela forces. (what does tangela do in return? mention it takes some pressure of fisk's shoulders bc they check similar stuff) Wallbreakers like Galarian Rapidash, Mr. Rime, and Lilligant appreciate Tangela's ability to switch into Pokemon that threaten to revenge kill them, like Boltund, (u already mentioned boltund before, mention non-subtox alolan duggy instead) Choice Scarf Drednaw, and Choice Scarf Lycanroc-M. Throh is a great teammate for Tangela; despite their shared weakness to Pokemon like Unfezant, Throh can handle Knock Off from the likes of Mareanie and Pawniard with ease, making Tangela's job a lot easier. It also acts as a capable switch-in to certain physical attackers that Tangela has a shaky matchup against, like Klinklang and Toxic Alolan Dugtrio. Entry hazard removal is helpful too, as Tangela can struggle a lot with Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Hattrem's Magic Bounce is helpful for this, but other removers like Unfezant and Mr. Rime (mr. rime is kinda a trash remover, mention drifblim instead) also pair well with Tangela for this reason.

mention some clerics; tangela rlly dislikes getting statused. u could throw in examples in the part where u talk abt null and removers

Tangela's colossal physical bulk when equipped with an Eviolite makes it a solid counter to top threats like Swords Dance Galarian Rapidash, Morpeko, and Gourgeist. Its own idk what "own" is mean to contrast to since none of the examples use knock access to Knock Off makes it a capable team supporter that can cripple Pokemon that would otherwise try to take advantage of it, like Appletun and Unfezant. Leech Seed allows it to annoy otherwise decent switch-ins like Drifblim and Klinklang, making it less passive. Sleep Powder can be used instead to cripple these threats, though it makes Tangela slightly more passive. Synthesis in the last slot makes it easier for Tangela to last throughout the match, ensuring it can check foes like Throh and Fraxure throughout the match. Sludge Bomb can be used instead, giving Tangela a way to hit Appletun, Galarian Rapidash, and Lilligant quite hard, notably preventing the latter from setting up on Tangela actually lilligant can still set up on sludge bomb tangela quite frequently, depending on hp going in and if it's got pollen puff. Worry Seed is also an option that prevents Pokemon like Throh and Type: Null from using Rest, denying their recovery, as well as crippling Dubwool. It can also remove abilities from Pokemon that rely on them in a pinch, like removing Drifblim's Unburden.

Tangela is a good fit on balanced teams that appreciate its ability to take hits from the likes of Throh and Boltund. Type: Null is a great teammate, being able to handle special attackers that threaten Tangela like Heatmor and Mr. Rime. It appreciates Tangela's ability to handle Fighting-types like Hitmonchan in return. Both of these Pokemon really appreciate cleric support from the likes of Flareon and Glaceon, both of which can help by switching into threatening special attackers like Lilligant and Manectric this is weird. type null isnt weak to either of those mons, glaceon isnt much of a cleric (Musharna, lickiicky, w/e is a way better example), and you're suggesting them due to being good spdef walls rather than what they do as clerics. the whole sentence makes no sense and I'd probably nuke it unless there's a point I'm totally missing. Stunfisk is a great partner, handling Pokemon like Unfezant, Raboot, and Klinklang that Tangela can struggle with. It also sets up Stealth Rock, which is helpful for the many switches Tangela forces. In return, Tangela can take some pressure off Stunfisk to switch into Pokemon like Swords Dance Galarian Rapidash, and it can also check Pokemon like Sandslash and Drednaw. Wallbreakers like Galarian Rapidash, Mr. Rime, and Lilligant appreciate Tangela's ability to switch into Pokemon that threaten to revenge kill them, like Alolan Dugtrio lacking Toxic they p much all run toxic that I've seen, you can just say Alolan dugtrio anyway, Choice Scarf Drednaw, and Lycanroc-M. Throh is a great teammate for Tangela; despite their shared weakness to Pokemon like Unfezant, Throh can handle Knock Off from the likes of Mareanie and Pawniard with ease, making Tangela's job a lot easier.
