Which Pokémon is known as Professor Tangrowth in Pokémon Pokopia?

Tangrowth is the Pokémon known as Professor Tangrowth in Pokémon Pokopia.

Professor Tangrowth is an important story character who studies the damaged environment and investigates why humans and Pokémon disappeared. After Ditto awakens and begins exploring the abandoned world, it meets Tangrowth and joins the effort to restore habitats.

The title is a character role rather than a separate Pokémon species. Tangrowth is the evolved form of Tangela in the wider Pokémon series, but Pokopia presents this individual Tangrowth as a researcher and guide. That makes Professor Tangrowth different from a conventional Pokémon professor such as Professor Oak, who is human.

Tangrowth’s presence also connects the game’s story to its ecological focus. The world has become hostile to life, and restoring suitable habitats is central to both gameplay and the mystery. Because Tangrowth is the lone remaining resident encountered early in the story, it serves as Ditto’s first major source of information about the ruined world.
