'''Erika's Tangela''' (Japanese: '''エリカのモンジャラ''' ''Erika's Monjara'') is [[Erika]]'s main Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} as well as one of her Pokémon in the {{pkmn|games}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
In the manga, Tangela is given the [[nickname]] '''Angela''' (Japanese: '''モンちゃん''' ''Mon-chan'') and is Erika's main battling partner. It debuted on ''[[PS019|Blame It on Eevee]]'', where it hopped in front of {{adv|Red}} on his [[bicycle]] at [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] and was nearly run over. In the [[PS020|next chapter]], Angela battled Red's [[Saur]] when Red and {{adv|Bill}} confronted her, thinking that she had been working with [[Team Rocket]]. Saur uses {{m|Vine Whip}}, attempting to pull it in, but Angela tosses Saur away with little effort and defeats it.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', Angela accompanied its Trainer to meet up with {{adv|Yellow}} in [[Celadon City]]. Starting from ''[[PS069|Playing Horsea]]'', Angela battled [[Lorelei]]'s {{p|Shellder}} army that were invading Celadon City. Angela uses {{m|Bind}}, but the Shellder break free from its grasp before switching their aim towards Erika, whom Angela protects. Angela uses Bind and {{m|Growth}} to absorb some of the energy. In ''[[PS090|The Legend]]'', Angela and Erika watch as the light from Yellow and [[Pika]]'s [[Moves not in the Pokémon games#In the manga|Megavolt]] caused the area around the city to bloom with flowers, restoring it with life.

====Personality and characteristics====
Not much is known about Tangela's personality, although it seems quite close to Erika, being the only one of her Pokémom whom Erika decided to give a nickname. It also acts as one of Erika's main battling partners, being used in several important battles and events, such as defending Celadon City from the Shellder army's attack.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, Tangela is one of many Pokémon whom Erika seems to have. It appeared in ''[[PM010|Big Struggle with the Powerful Opponent Venusaur!!]]'', where it was seen tending Erika's garden along with many other {{t|Grass}}-type Pokémon.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Tangela briefly appeared in [[PZ05]] as one of the many Pokémon Erika was seen to own.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Erika Tangela.png|thumb|left|220px|Tangela in the [[original series]]]]
Erika's Tangela appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''. During Erika's and {{Ash}}'s [[Gym]] battle, Tangela faced off against {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Bulbasaur attacks with Vine Whip, but Tangela uses Constrict to pull Bulbasaur closer before following up with {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} Bulbasaur. It is then promptly recalled after Bulbasaur is deemed unfit to continue.

===Personality and characteristics===
Very little is known about Tangela's personality, as it was only used in the first part of Ash's Gym battle with Erika. From what was seen of it, Tangela seems to be a very strong Pokémon that uses its vines and Stun Spore combination in order to incapacitate its opponent. 

===Moves used===

===I Choose You!===
[[File:Erika Tangela M20.png|220px|thumb|Tangela in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
Tangela appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline separate from the main series. It battled {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}} at the [[Celadon Gym]], but it was defeated by Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}}, therefore earning {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

==In the games==
Erika's Tangela is featured in all versions of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, as well as [[Pokémon Stadium]] and its [[Pokémon Stadium 2|sequel]]. It also appears in the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Generation I remakes]], as well in the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV]] remakes. In the latter, Tangela appears in its pre-evolved form during the first battle, but during subsequent [[rematch]]es, it appears as a {{p|Tangrowth}}, something it is also repeated during the [[Generation V]] games.
