Which Pokémon does Ditto meet at the beginning of Pokémon Pokopia?

Ditto meets Tangrowth at the beginning of Pokémon Pokopia.

The opening setup takes place in a town where humans and Pokémon once lived. By the time Ditto awakens, the grass and trees have withered and the residents have disappeared. Tangrowth is living there alone when the transformed Ditto arrives.

This meeting establishes the game’s central partnership. Ditto and Tangrowth work together to restore the abandoned surroundings and create a village where Pokémon can live together again.

Tangrowth is a Grass-type Pokémon known for its vine-covered appearance, which makes it especially fitting for a story about recovering nature. It should not be confused with other plant-associated Pokémon such as Torterra or Vileplume: Tangrowth is the specific character named in Pokopia’s opening premise.
