Which Pokémon is called Professor Tangrowth in Pokémon Pokopia?

Tangrowth is the Pokémon called Professor Tangrowth in Pokémon Pokopia.

Professor Tangrowth meets Ditto after Ditto enters the abandoned world and takes on a human-like form. The character has made environmental study and the mystery of the vanished humans central to his work.

The title is a character name rather than a new Pokémon species or evolution. Tangrowth is the familiar vine-covered Pokémon from the main Pokémon series, but Pokopia gives this individual a scholarly role and the name Professor Tangrowth.

Professor Tangrowth helps frame the game’s story. He directs attention toward restoring habitats and investigating what happened to the world’s former human population. His role should not be confused with a conventional Pokémon professor such as Professor Oak or Professor Rowan, who belong to other games and regions.
