What is the name of the Tangrowth who guides Ditto in Pokémon Pokopia?

The Tangrowth who guides Ditto in Pokémon Pokopia is called Professor Tangrowth.

Professor Tangrowth has taken on the role of studying the damaged environment and investigating why humans and Pokémon disappeared. This character becomes one of Ditto’s main companions after Ditto begins exploring the abandoned world.

The name is a playful title based directly on the Pokémon’s species. It also echoes the tradition of Pokémon stories featuring professors who research the world, although Professor Tangrowth is not Professor Oak and does not belong to the mainline Kanto laboratory setting.

Professor Tangrowth helps frame Pokopia’s central mystery. The pair do not simply build decorative structures; they restore habitats, investigate the landscape, and uncover clues about humanity’s departure. That makes the character important to both the plot and the game’s environmental theme.
