How to unlock Tangela in PokeBonk
Tangela joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Have 20 members in your League.
- Reach level 35 in a run.
Catching Tangela
Then Tangela can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Tangela moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bind | Normal | Physical | Strike | Start | 19 | 0.81 s |
| 2 | Giga Drain | Grass | Special | Drain | Level 2 | 13 | 1.18 s |
| 3 | Grass Knot | Grass | Special | Heavenly Impact | Level 4 | 31 | 1.53 s |
| 4 | Solar Blade | Grass | Physical | Bolt | Level 7 | 11 | 2.22 s |
Tangela passive: Vines
+2 regen. Every 5 s your vines trap (root) and damage the 4 closest enemies within 7 m.
Giga Drain, Grass Knot, and Solar Blade match Tangela's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Tangela Ultimate in PokeBonk
Tangela's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tangela | Vine Tangle | 2.4 s | Your vines trap everyone within 13 m (more with Maturity), pull them toward you and squeeze them for 1.5 s; then the tangle bursts into leaves. |
Tangela stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tangela | 0 | 110 | 11.2 | 1.02x | 0.97x | 1.1x | 1x |

Where Tangela appears as a boss
Besides being playable, Tangela is listed as a boss on the maps: Viridian Forest as a possible zone 3 Totem. Boss HP is budgeted from your own damage per second, so the fight length stays close to the game's targets; the PokeBonk maps page lists every boss slot.
