Quoted By:
Tangela/Tangrowth and Deoxys are the same pokemon.
There are two main theories to explain the origin of Tangela / Tangrowth and Deoxys, but first I will go over the almost indisputable connection that they have to one another.
Tangela’s true form / inner self has never been seen, and the only observable characteristic of it’s inner self is it’s eyes. These are set back into the vines, and the rest of its body is covered by its vines. Deoxys shares these same eyes, and they too appear to be set back a little behind the armor-like material of its body.
Both Tangela and Deoxys possess thin blue appendages that they use to strike with. Also, Tangela’s shoes are almost the same red color as Deoxys’s armor-like material, which leads me to believe that it is the same material.
So design wise they are similar, but what else is there? Well, to explain that, I’ll go over all three forms.
In the case of Tangela, it is relatively vulnerable and tries to protect itself using its “vines”. I don’t believe these are actually vines, not natural vines anyways. No other pokemon that use vines for attacks are any color but green. I believe Tangela’s vines are created using the same cellular powers that Deoxys uses. In Tangela’s pokedex entries, it states that the vines are very easy to grow back if they are damaged / cut off. Its reasonable to say that this is due to the same regenerative powers that Deoxys has.
Tangrowth is much the same, in Pokedex entries and design. “Losing arms to predators does not trouble it” , “They grow back right away if cut”. Upon evolving into Tangrowth, there aren’t any major form changes. It gets bigger with more vines, it’s feet change shape, and some of its vines are encased in the red material that it shares with Deoxys.
Both Tangela and Tangrowth get the regenerator hidden ability, further supporting that there is a link to Deoxys.
