2121 Professor Tangrowth is visually distinct from a standard Tangrowth. The vines on the top half of his body are white, giving him a gray-haired, elderly appearance. He wears broken Wise Glasses under his eyes (a memento from the human Professor he once lived with), carries a walking stick, and has a TM disc stuck to one of his vines. Nintendo of America's official description states: "Professor Tangrowth dons a pair of broken glasses and what appears to be a CD. They teach the basics of living in town!"

3535 Backstory
3636  
3737 Before the humans disappeared from the Kanto region, Tangrowth was a Tangela living with a human Pokemon Professor. The young Tangela occasionally played with the Professor's grandchild and interacted with visiting Pokemon Trainers, developing a deep interest in human tools and technology. When the climate crisis struck and humanity evacuated the planet through the Pokemon Conservation Project, Tangela avoided being placed in digital storage. He kept the Professor's broken glasses and eventually evolved into Tangrowth, adopting the role of a professor himself and becoming the sole caretaker of the withered world.
