Oh man, my boy, AV tangrowth practically only works as a lure, at least when I play it. It has a load of attacking moves in both categories and the raw stats to use them.
Tangrowth @ assault vest
252 HP/ 4 attack or special attack/ 252 sp def
Regenerator
- rock slide
- earthquake
- knock off
- giga drain
NOTE: tangrowth can also run HP ice, focus blast, poison jab, sludge bomb so order to your taste
Here's what I use my tangrowth to lure in,
Talonflame--
4 Atk Tangrowth Rock Slide vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 288-340 (96.6 - 114%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
4 Atk Tangrowth Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 288-340 (80 - 94.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Sacrificing some sp def ev's for defense ev's allows you to still tank special hits easily while living flare blitz and brave bird
Heatran--
4 Atk Tangrowth Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 276-328 (71.5 - 84.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
4 Atk Tangrowth Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Heatran: 204-240 (52.8 - 62.1%) -- 98.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Heatran can't even 2HKO with lava plume
Greninja--
4 SpA Tangrowth Giga Drain vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Greninja: 234-276 (81.8 - 96.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Charizard Y--
4 Atk Tangrowth Rock Slide vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Charizard Y: 268-316 (89.9 - 106%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
Man I could go on and on. This guy is AWESOME. He's like Mega Vensaur's protege, and he does it all without a mega stone.
What do you guys think?
