Tangela is one of the best physical walls in the tier thanks to its sky-high Defense paired with Eviolite and Regenerator, giving Tangela amazing longevity. Giga Drain can further increase Tangela's longevity and hit Water- and Ground-types such as defensive Wartortle, Palpitoad, and Piloswine. Alternatively, Leaf Storm can 2HKO Piloswine and OHKO Wartortle. Knock Off is an excellent utility move for Tangela, removing Eviolite Galarian Corsola, Machoke, and Thwackey. Knock Off can also threatening Ghost-types like Lampent and Gastly from switching into Tangela safely. Toxic is an option that can be used over Knock Off for crippling bulky Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Vullaby, and Dartrix. Sludge Bomb is to hit Fairy- and Grass-types, namely Clefairy, Thwackey, and opposing Tangela. Synthesis provides reliable recovery for Tangela so it won't need to rely on Regenerator, while Leech Seed can be used for passive recovery, while also getting chip in against Raboot.
While Tangela has immense physical defense, it has mediocre Special Defense, so special attackers such as Kadabra, Roselia, and Wartortle can tear through Tangela. Special defensive walls such as Clefairy, Vullaby, and Klang all pair well with Tangela due to them being able to take on the aforementioned special attackers. Grass-types that aren't hit super effectively by Sludge Bomb or are immune to Toxic, namely Ferroseed, Roselia, and Gloom, can cause Tangela trouble; Ferroseed and Roselia can set Spikes against it, while Gloom can threaten it with Sludge Bomb. Therefore, having checks that can safely switch into these Pokemon, such as Machoke, Klang and Vullaby, that can threaten them out or remove their entry hazards is encouraged. Fire-types, specifically Lampent and Raboot, although not being able to directly switch into Tangela due to fear of Knock Off, still pose a huge threat to Tangela, so Water-types such as Mareanie and Wartortle are good partners. Mareanie in particular can form a Regenerator core with Tangela, since it can deal with Fire-types, while Tangela in return can soak up Ground- and Grass-type attacks from Piloswine and Thwackey. Tangela is walled by Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang, so Fire-types like Raboot and Lampent are good partners to deal with them.

Tangela is an excellent choice for sun teams since it has a good Speed tier, great offensive stats, and most importantly good bulk. It also possesses great moves like Growth and Knock Off to breakthrough teams. Growth increases Tangela's Attack and Special Attack by two stages under sun, making it a threatening sweeper. Giga Drain takes care of Ground- and Water-types such as Piloswine, Wartortle, and Slowpoke, while also providing it recovery. Solar Beam can be used over Giga Drain for more damage output to OHKO Piloswine and Hattrem with minimal chip, as well as 2HKO Galarian Corsola, at the cost of only being able to use it under sun. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy- and Grass-types, namely Clefairy, Morgrem, Thwackey, and opposing Tangela. Knock Off is to remove Eviolite from bulky Pokemon such as Machoke, Galarian Corsola, and Mareanie. Synthesis provides Tangela reliable recovery if it isn't running Giga Drain. 56 Speed EVs allow Tangela to outspeed Kadabra, he fastest Pokemon in the metagame, under sun.
Tangela needs sun setters like Vulpix and Prankster Pokemon like Cottenee, which can set sun with Sunny Day while also providing additional utility with Defog and Memento. Tangela also appreciates Pokemon that can prevent entry hazards from being set, such as Hattrem, as well as entry hazards setters themselves like Carkol. Fire-types like Charmeleon, Lampent, and Raboot go well with Tangela, since they can break Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang, and in return, Tangela can break Water-types such as Slowpoke and Mareanie.
