Type/s: Grass
HP: 333
Attack: 208
Defense: 328
Speed: 218
Special: 298
Moveset #1
Growth
Mega Drain
Sleep Powder
Rest/Stun Spore
A lack of attacking moves really hurts Tangela, but it's still a very effective tank in UU. The Growth set attempts to neutralize Tangela's biggest foe, ice attacks, as well as letting it hit things with Mega Drain as hard as possible. Tangela also gets access to double powder, which help you set up Growth or wreak havoc when you have to switch out. Rest is preferred over Stun Spore though, as it's very difficult for Tangela to do damage without recovering.
Moveset #2
Swords Dance
Body Slam
Hyper Beam/Rest
Mega Drain
Although Tangela doesn't get any STAB attacks to go with Swords Dance, it at least has the defenses to set up better than other Swords Dance users. Mega Drain hits rock types like Omastar and Onix who otherwise would laugh at this set. Although this set doesn't come with the useful powders, Body Slam might be able to cover for Stun Spore's absence. Rest is an option over Hyper Beam, but it isn't as essential because you won't have the special boost from Growth to work with.
Moveset #3
Growth
Swords Dance
Body Slam
Mega Drain
Setting up Growth and Swords Dance are difficult to a lack of initial firepower, but the payoff is great if you can pull it off. Mega Drain and Body Slam are guaranteed to get at least neutral damage on everything in UU.
Other options: Mimic can improve Tangela on the offensive side of things. Solarbeam is actually plausible on the Growth set because of the much higher BP than Mega Drain. You'll have to drop one of your powders if you want to use it though, as you'll still need Mega Drain for 1-turn attacking.
