Because Tangrowth is Grass-type, many of the Pokémon's most powerful moves will also be Grass-type in order to benefit from S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus). This will allow moves to do increased damage in battle if they match the typing of the Pokémon using them. Tangrowth's most powerful moves are Energy Ball, Sludge Bomb, Ancient Power, and Acid Spray.

How to use Tangrowth best in battle

With Tangrowth being a sole Grass-type Pokémon, players should be aware of which typings to avoid in battle. Grass-type Pokémon are vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Bug, Ice, and Poison-type. They will do super-effective damage to Water, Rock, and Ground-type Pokémon.
