Is Tangrowth Viable in OU?

Aug. 12, 2013

I’ve grown very fond of tangrowth after beating Jojo’s Kyurem B in 1 v 1, and I want to use it in OU because I dont really like the OU grass types. Do I need to give my set?

Yes it is. It’d make a nice Chlorophyll sweeper, since it has decent bulk but abysmal speed, so it can abuse Drought and sweep up.

As a regenerator user though, I would advice Slowbro. Better recovery move and larger movepool means it’s more suited to OU.
