[SET COMMENTS]
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.

Tangela is one of the best Physical walls in the tier thanks to its sky-high Defense stat of 115 paired with Eviolite and Regenerator gives giving Tangela amazing longevity. Giga Drain can further increase Tangela's longevity and hits Water- and Ground-types such as Special Defensive Wartortle, Slowpoke Palpitoad , and non-Icicle Spear Piloswine hard. (mention Leaf storm here, 2hkos pilo, 1hkos pikachu etc) Knock Off is an excellent utility move for Tangela, removing Eviolite and threatening Fire Ghost-types in specific like Lampent, and Gastly from switching into Tangela safely. Sludge Bomb is to hit Fairy- and Grass-types namely Clefairy, Thwackey and Tangela. Toxic is for crippling bulky Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Vullaby, and Porygon. Synthesis provides reliable recovery for Tangela, so it won't need to rely on Regenerator. Infestation is to chip and trap Machoke, Ferroseed, and Mareanie. (re-order synth to be first, add leech seed, you can also mention sleep powder. as a separated point also add the fast spread 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 Spe and mention how it's used to check flame orb machoke by being able to switch in and beat it 1v1)

While Tangela has an immense Physical Defense stat, it has a mediocre Special Defensive stat, so special attackers such as Kadabra, Roselia, and Wartortle can tear through Tangela. Special Defensive walls, for example, Clefairy, Vullaby, and Ferroseed 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 namely Ferroseed, Roselia, and Gloom can cause Tangela trouble by setting up spikes or hitting it with Sludge Bomb therefore having checks that can safely switch into these Pokemon; threaten them out or remove their hazards like Machoke, Klang and Vullaby is encouraged. Fire-types in specifically Lampent and Raboot, although not being able to switch into Tangela due to fear of Knock Off, they still pose a huge threat to Tangela, so Water-types such as Mareanie (would emphasis on mareanie forming a regen core) and Wartortle are good partners since they can deal with Fire-types, while Tangela can soak up Ground- and Grass-type attacks from Krokorok and Thwackey. points i would add here is tangela being blocked by steel types, and likes cleric support)

Growth increases Tangela's Attack and Special Attack by two stages in sun, making it a threatening sweeper. Giga Drain takes care of Ground- and Water-types such as Krokorok, Piloswine, Wartortle, and Slowpoke, while also healing back Health. Solar Beam can be used over Giga Drain for more damage output (i would specify notable 2hkos or kos that giga drain isn't able to do) at the cost of only being able to use it in sun. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy- and Grass-types namely Clefairy, Morgrem, Thwackey, and Tangela. Knock Off is to remove Eviolite from bulky Pokemon such as Machoke, Galarian Corsola, and Mareanie. Synthesis is for reliable recovery if Tangela isn't using Giga Drain. With 56 Speed EV's Tangela can outspeed the whole metagame unboosted.

Tangela needs sun setters namely Vuplix that has Drought and Prankster Pokemon like Riolu and Cottonee which can use Sunny Day to set up Sun for Tangela, especially Cottonee since it can remove Entry Hazards with Defog. In return, Tangela can sweep teams boosted by Chlorophyll and Growth boosting its Special and Physical Attack by two stages. (fluff, would talk more about sun support that you haven't touched up on like hazard removal like carkol, magic bounce hattrem (who can healing wish thats pre big)) Water-types such as Wartortle and Slowpoke are good since they can absorb Fire-type attacks and then use Flip Turn or Teleport to bring in Tangela. Fire-types like Charmeleon, Lampent and Raboot go well with Tangela since they can break Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang, while Tangela can break Water-types such as Slowpoke and Mareanie.

Infestation is to chip and trap Machoke, Ferroseed, and Mareanie. (this move was removed from the analysis, remove mentions of it) Toxic is for crippling bulky Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Vullaby and Porygon Dartrix. Tangela can run the EV's; 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 Spe, to check Flame Orb Machoke by being able to switch into it and beat it 1v1. (this doesn’t actually beat f-orb choke 1v1, after you’re knocked you can’t switch in anymore, as façade>close combat drops you regardless of giga drain healing) (Why is leech seed completely unmentioned, why would I ever run this move? Mention it somewhere please.)

While Tangela has an immense physical defense stat, it has a mediocre Special Defensive stat, so special attackers such as Kadabra, Roselia, and Wartortle can tear through Tangela. Special Defensive walls, for example, Clefairy, Vullaby and Ferroseed Klang (compounding grasses rn sux w/ the prevalence of mons that are built to break grasses, lots of raboot flying around for instance, while that also breaks klang klang can gain momentum on switchin w/ volt vs ferro’s “I get up a spike and put my team in pain” in said spot) 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 that are immune to toxic, namely Ferroseed, Roselia, and Gloom can cause Tangela trouble by setting up spikes or hitting it with Sludge Bomb, therefore, having checks that can safely switch into these Pokemon; using support like Machoke, Klang and Vullaby to threaten them out or remove their hazards is encouraged. Fire-types specifically Lampent and Raboot, although not being able to 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 especially Mareanie since it can form a Regenerator core since they can deal with Fire-types, while Tangela can soak up Ground- and Grass-type attacks from Krokorok Piloswine (only relevant ground, make sure to add a caveat about needing to worry about a potential icicle spear 2hko or toxic if you keep this in at all) and Thwackey. Tangela is walled by Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang, so Fire-types like Raboot and Lampent are good partners since they can deal with the aforementioned Steel-types.

Tangela is an excellent choice for sun teams since it has a good Speed tier, offensive stats, and most importantly good bulk. It also has great moves like Growth and Knock Off to break through teams. Growth increases Tangela's Attack and Special Attack by two stages in sun, making it a threatening sweeper. Giga Drain takes care of Ground- and Water-types such as (krokorok is irrelevant in current metagame) Krokorok, Piloswine, Wartortle, and Slowpoke, while also healing back Health HP. Solar Beam can be used over Giga Drain for more damage output to 2hko Special Defensive Clefairy and Munchlax after using Growth, at the cost of only being able to use it in sun (this section about solar beam doing more damage is weird, just considering that the specific scenarios given feel kind of irrelevant, you already have sludge bomb to 2hko clef, and munchlax is super rare right now+solar at +2 doesn’t ko max hp max spdef munchlax at +2 unless you get good rolls after rocks) . Sludge Bomb hits Fairy- and Grass-types namely Clefairy, Morgrem, Thwackey, and Tangela. Knock Off is to removes Eviolite from bulky Pokemon such as Machoke, Galarian Corsola, and Mareanie. Synthesis is for reliable recovery if Tangela isn't using Giga Drain. With 56 Speed EV's Tangela can outspeed the whole metagame unboosted (at +2 from chlorophyll isn’t exactly “unboosted”, unless you mean the unboosted metagame then ig that makes more sense but swap the word order around bc it feels weird otherwise, a better way might just be to mention that it outspeeds kadabra, which is the fastest mon in the meta, while under sun).

Tangela needs sun setters namely Vuplix Vulpix that has Drought and Prankster Pokemon like Riolu and (riolu is bad, rewrite section about cottonee to properly reflect the change grammatically) Cottonee which can use Sunny Day to set up Sun for Tangela, especially Cottonee since it can remove Entry Hazards with Defog. Hazard removal like Carkoal Carkol is excellent since it has Role Compression by being able to set up Entry Hazard and remove them with Rapid Spin. Hattrem is another good partner since of its ability Magic Bounce denying Entry Hazards from being set while also, having Healing Wish to restore Tangela's HP and PP (this move doesn’t restore PP) (honestly everything from mention of carkol onwards like it could be condensed into “tangela appreciates hazard removal and hazard setters” or something along those lines, splitting it up this much feels really fluffy to me). Water-types such as Wartortle and Slowpoke are good since they can absorb Fire-type attacks and then use Flip Turn or Teleport to bring in Tangela (idt I’ve seen either of these mons as pivots on sun in my life, remove mention imo). Fire-types like Charmeleon, Lampent and Raboot go well with Tangela since they can break Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang, while Tangela can break Water-types such as Slowpoke and Mareanie.

Tangela is one of the best physical physically defensive (more consistent with name of the set) walls in the tier NFE thanks to its sky-high Defense stat (Capitalize) of 115,(AC) paired with further improved by Eviolite,(AC) and ability Regenerator,(AC) giving Tangela it amazing longevity. Giga Drain can further increases Tangela's longevity and hits Water- and Ground-types such as defensive (lowercase) Wartortle, Palpitoad, and Piloswine. Instead of Giga Drain,(AC) Leaf Storm can be used to 2HKO Piloswine and OHKO Wartortle and 2HKO Piloswine. (You would want to mention the OHKO part first) Knock Off is an excellent utility move for Tangela, removing Eviolite from foes and threatening Ghost-types switch-ins like Lampent(RC) and Gastly from switching into Tangela safely. Sludge Bomb is to hit damages Fairy- and Grass-types namely like Clefairy, Thwackey, and opposing Tangela. Synthesis provides reliable recovery for Tangela, so it won't need to rely lowering its reliance on Regenerator,(period-->comma) while Leech Seed can be used for passive recovery. Alternatively,(AC) Toxic is for crippling cripples bulky Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Vullaby, and Dartrix. (I suggest you move this sentence directly behind the Knock Off sentence since Toxic is slashed with Knock Off.)

While Tangela has an immense physical high Defense (Capitalize) stat, it has a mediocre Special Defensive Defense stat, so leaving it vulnerable to special attackers such as Kadabra, Roselia, and Wartortle can tear through Tangela. Special Specially defensive (lowercase) walls(RC) for example such as(RC) Clefairy, Vullaby, and Klang(RC) all pair well with Tangela due to them being since they are (subjective) able to take on the aforementioned special attackers. Grass-types that aren't hit super effectively threatened by Sludge Bomb or that are immune to Toxic (Capitalize)(RC) namely like Ferroseed, Roselia, and Gloom can cause trouble for Tangela trouble by setting up Spikes (Capitalize) or hitting it with Sludge Bomb.(Comma -->Period) Therefore (Capitalize), having checks that can safely switch into these Pokemon; using support and threaten them out or remove their entry hazards like Machoke, Klang and Vullaby to threaten them out or remove their hazards is encouraged. Despite not being able to switch into Tangela due to Knock Off,(AC) Fire-types specifically such as Lampent and Raboot(RC) although not being able to switch into Tangela due to fear of Knock Off(RC) still pose a huge threat to Tangela.(Add Period) so Water-types such as Mareanie and Wartortle are good partners,(AC) especially Mareanie,(AC) since it can form a Regenerator core with Tangela since they can and deal with Fire-types, while Tangela 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 teammates partners since they can deal with the aforementioned Steel-types.

Tangela is an excellent choice for sun teams since it has a good Speed tier, offensive stats great Special Attack stat, and most importantly,(AC) good superb bulk. (subjective; avoids double usage of good) It also has possesses great moves like Growth and Knock Off to break (space)through teams. Growth increases Tangela's Attack and Special Attack by two stages in under sun, making it a threatening sweeper. Giga Drain takes care of Ground- and Water-types such as (Remove space)Piloswine, Wartortle, and Slowpoke, while also providing recovery healing back Health HP. Solar Beam can be used over Giga Drain for more damage output,(AC) to OHKOing Piloswine and Hattrem with minimal chip(RC) and 2HKOing Galarian Corsola, at the cost of only being able to use it in under sun. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy- and Grass-types namely such as Clefairy, Morgrem, Thwackey, and opposing Tangela. Knock Off is to removes Eviolite from bulky Pokemon such as Machoke, Galarian Corsola, and Mareanie. Synthesis is for provides reliable recovery if Tangela isn't using Giga Drain. With 56 EVs in Speed EV's allow Tangela can to outspeed Kadabra(RC) which is the fastest Pokemon in the metagame(RC) while under sun.

Tangela needs sun setters namely such as Vulpix that has Drought and Prankster Pokemon like Sunny Day Cottenee Cottonee,(AC) with Cottonee also providing additional utility with can be used to use Sunny Day while also having access to Defog and Memento. Tangela appreciates entry hazards removal removers like Hattrem and entry hazard setters like Hattrem and Carkol. (The list is kinda weird rn since Hattrem doesn't set up or remove hazards. I am going to assume that you meant Hattrem as hazard removal and Carkol as the setter.) Fire-types like Charmeleon, Lampent, and Raboot go well with Tangela since they can break threaten Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang.(Comma-->Period) while In return,(AC)Tangela can break (weaken or OHKO is better; break is an informal term) Water-types such as Slowpoke and Mareanie.

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, (AC) namely Clefairy, Thwackey, and opposing Tangela. Synthesis provides reliable recovery for Tangela, (RC) so it won't need to rely on Regenerator, (period -> comma) while Leech Seed can be used for passive recovery (would probably recommend what potential benefits this has other synthesis as well). Toxic is for crippling bulky Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Vullaby, and Dartrix.

While Tangela has an immense physical defense stat, it has a mediocre Special Defensive stat Defense, so special attackers such as Kadabra, Roselia, and Wartortle can tear through Tangela.

Therefore, (AC) having checks that can safely switch into these Pokemon; using support like, (AC) such as Machoke, Klang and Vullaby to, (AC) that can threaten them out or remove their entry hazards is encouraged.
