Tangela

Tangela at mid-level CP 1200ish or so is a great prestiger, but even when fully powered up pretty much useless as an attacker or defender. Save your candies.

save candies for Tangrowth

Never mind, it worths because of its 100% IV, but wait for the final evolving first, then power it up if you want.

I like Tangela. Agreed, it is not an ideal Pokémon, but in the current meta, I would say it's far from useless.

Perfect IV's with optimal attacking moveset? I've spent stardust on far worse...

Imo max it out haha I don't see many counters to watermons, eevee is rare, plants are too
I have an 85 tangela that I've been powering up slowly because the only other good mon I have is a perfect victreebel and like 2 or 3 decent jolteons (I am lvl33)

Waiting a year or most likely longer seems not only exaggerated but boring, when generation 4 releases you will have a maxed out perfect tangrowth so it's worth it to me

A 100%IV-Tangela with best movest is still a Tangela with best moveset.
It is worth to be powered up to 1500-1600CP and is a perfect prestiger against vaporeon and rhydon.
