Part Red & Green


Tangela debuts in when Redwald trains his Pokémon in Pewter Jungle for his rematch against the gym leader Brock. After a hard training, he encounters Jennifer and Tangela on the road while Jennifer releases Tangela. Tangela is left heartbroken, depressed and desperate. Redwald interrupts them in an anger and claims that a trainer is not meant to find powerful Pokémon, but train them to make them powerful. But Jennifer doesn't agree with what Redwald says. Very upset, Tangela has no idea what she could do. In a response to that, Redwald offers Jennifer to train Tangela for three days for a rematch, and if she wins the battle, Jennifer would take Tangela back. Jennifer accepts it and Tangela listens to Redwald's orders for the next days. Redwald discovers Tangela's moves, her strong sides and what she needs to improve. After the three days of hard training, Tangela and Redwald meet Jennifer at the same spot to have a battle.

In the battle, Tangela battles Jennifer's Sandshrew but loses it. Jennifer claims that she is right all along and Tangela and Redwald are meant for each other. After Jennifer leaves the place, Redwald offers Tangela to come along with him and be trained even more until the league. She would get a chance to prove herself to Jennifer in the league, and it would settle it. Tangela accepts Redwald's offer and joins his team to have a journey across Kanto all together.

Tangela participates in Redwald's gym battle against Brock in. After is substituted with Tangela, she faces Brock's Ace Pokémon, Geodude. In the beginning, Geodude dodges all of Tangela's moves by either hiding behind rocks or in pits. Eventually, he attacks Tangela by using Rock Throw. Tangela protects herself by destroying the rocks with Vine Whip. But that would only get her tired. Once Geodude runs out of rocks, Redwald comes up with an idea and attacks Geodude with Vine Whip. Despite of that, Geodude keeps the distance and protects himself from the moves. Eventually, Tangela uses Vine Whip to hold Geodude still and then uses another Vine Whip to attack the Pokémon. Therefore, beforelong, Tangela defeats Geodude and brings a victory to Redwald.

Personality
Although she still lacks a proper training, Tangela is a very loyal Pokémon to her trainers. When she is released from Jennifer's Pokémon team, Tangela becomes frustrated and feels desperate. After Redwald begins to take care of her and train her for her rematch, Tangela grows a feeling of respect and love for Redwald, but she still has a special loyality for her former trainer in her heart. After she loses the battle and Jennifer claims Tangela and Redwald are meant for each other, plus Eusine claims Redwald is the one to give Tangela the courage and passion to battle, she joins Redwald's team. According to Eusine, Tangela finds the feeling of battle for true reasons in Redwald.
