Tangrowth appears as the unusual-looking partner at the start of Pokémon Pokopia.
The opening premise introduces a Tangrowth with a slightly peculiar appearance alongside Ditto in human form. The two Pokémon begin working together to build a village where Pokémon can live together, establishing the game’s central themes of cooperation and restoration.
Tangrowth is a Grass-type Pokémon known for its thick, vine-covered body. That visual identity fits Pokopia’s focus on vegetation, damaged habitats, and the gradual return of life to the environment. Its presence also gives the opening story a distinctive character before the player meets more Pokémon.
It is easy to confuse Tangrowth with other plant-like Pokémon such as Venusaur, Torterra, or Cradily. Those Pokémon have different silhouettes and evolutionary histories. The specific partner identified in the game’s introductory material is Tangrowth.
