This set shows you right off the bat why you would use Tangrowth and not Celebi: Sleep Powder, Knock Off and Power Whip. Sleep Powder is nothing new for our strangled fellow: use it if you predict your opponent switching into something Tangrowth or your team can't handle and three times out of four it will be put out of commission until Blissey comes out to Aromatherapy it again.
Knock Off is new to this line and is a very handy move. Salamence wishes to come in with his quadruple Grass resistance? Knocking Off his item will not only disable him from using it, but it will also pretty much reveal whether it's a Specsmence, a Choice Bander, a Dragon Dancer or a Life Orber. After you Knock Off one Pokemon your opponent will probably keep switching that in to prevent more item loss. Feel free to predict so and switch in a counter at the same time, or Leech Seeding it on the switch to wear it down. Leech Seed will generally support Tangrowth's tanking ability and help out your team as well, so use it whenever you see fit
You'll find this EV set-up ideal to take on physical threats. Just to show you how sturdy Tangrowth is: a Gyarados with 350 Attack and one Dragon Dance doesn't even 3HKO Tangrowth using Ice Fang with Leftovers factored in. In the meantime, Tangrowth will deal about 40% back with Power Whip (as long as it isn't Intimidated), making him a pretty neat Gyarados counter.
