    Theory: Mimikyu is Tangela with it’s Vines unraveled.

    One time a Pikachu accidentally got wrapped around in Tangela fines. In it’s struggle, it cut the vines off, revealing Tangela’s true form. Tangela, really angry at Pikachu, donned a disguise to look like it’s foe so it could get in close and get it’s revenge!

      MatPat, was that you that went under the guise of “Blob Takeshi” 3 years ago?
      Anyways…
      But THAT’s just a theory…

    In the description of Grass Knot, the effect says “(after applying effects to the the Retreat Cost).” instead of “(after applying effects to the Retreat Cost).”
