Tangela evolves into Tangrowth while knowing Ancientpower, which it learns by level-up. While this gives it a slight increase in most stats, its Speed actually gets slightly lower as a Tangrowth. While Tangela boasts better defenses with Eviolite, Tangrowth has a lot more HP as well as a much better Attack. Both Tangela and Tangrowth's best stats are Defense and Special Attack, which lets it absorb quite a few attacks while being capable of doling out damage in return. It also learns status moves like Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, as well as strong grass type moves like Giga Drain, which increases its survivability, and the rare and strong Power Whip.
 
Tangela and Tangrowth share the same abilities. The first ability they can have is Chlorophyll, which doubles their speed in sunlight. This nullifies Tangrowth's terrible speed, turning it into a strong and bulky attacker in the sun. Their alternate normal ability is Leaf Guard, which protects them from status effects in sunlight. It's not a bad ability, but Chlorophyll is often better to take advantage of Tangrowth's strong attack stats. Their hidden ability is Regenerator, which heals 1/3 health when a Pokémon with the ability is switched out. While Chlorophyll should be considered when using Tangrowth in an offensive role, Regenerator is the ability you want if you're using it to take hits.
