'''Tropius''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トロピウス''' ''Tropius'') is a dual-typed {{2t|Grass|Flying}} Pokémon.

Tropius are large sauropod Pokémon with brown and green bodies. They possess large green leaves on their backs which they use for flight. These leaves also double for sugar production via photosynthesis, to give Tropius even more energy. Despite being very big and bulky, they are surprisingly maneuverable in the air. They have long necks which they use for reaching treetops to gorge on their most favoured food, fruit. They also grow fruit of their own on their necks that resemble a bunch of ripe bananas. These fruit can be picked and consumed by other Pokémon and by humans. Their feet have toenails the same color as their fruit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tropius's first appearance was in the Pokémon movie ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. In it, Tropius was fleeing from the fake {{p|Groudon}} that was trying to snatch all the Pokémon.

The first major role that Tropius had was in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. A trainer named [[Dominick]] used the Fruit Pokémon and a {{p|Swalot}} against [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Torkoal}}. Tropius and Torkoal knocked each other out when their {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Overheat}} attacks connected and created an explosion.

|rubydex=The bunches of fruit around Tropius's neck are very popular with children. This Pokémon loves fruit, and eats it continuously. Apparently, its love for fruit resulted in its own outgrowth of fruit.  

|sapphiredex=Children of the southern tropics eat as snacks the fruit that grows in bunches around the neck of Tropius. This Pokémon flies by flapping the leaves on its back as if they were wings.

|emeralddex=It flies by flapping its broad leaves. The bunch of fruit that grows around its neck is deliciously sweet. In the spring, it scatters pollen from its neck.

|firereddex=It lives in tropical jungles. The bunch of fruit around its neck is delicious. The fruit grows twice a year.  

|leafgreendex=It lives in tropical jungles. The bunch of fruit around its neck is delicious. The fruit grows twice a year.  

|diamonddex=Because it continually ate only its favorite fruit, the fruit started growing around its neck.

|pearldex=Because it continually ate only its favorite fruit, the fruit started growing around its neck.

*Tropius and {{p|Tangela}} are the only non-[[starter Pokémon|starter]], non-[[legendary Pokémon|legendary]] Pokémon that cannot be found in some manner in [[Generation IV]]. Like the starters and legendaries of Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, they must be sent forward from Generation III.

*Tropius is the only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Fly}}.

Tropius shares characteristics with the [[wp:brachiosaurus|Brachiosaurus]], a [[wp:sauropod|sauropod]] dinosaur from the late [[wp:Jurassic|Jurassic]] period. There is also a legend that a creature known as [[wp:Mokele mbembe|Mokele mbembe]], which is said to resemble a sauropod, lives on in the jungles of the [[wp:Congo|Congo]] basin in Africa. Tropius also resembles a banana plant.

Tropius's name is a combination of ''tropical'' and ''-saurus''. It could also be a pun of 'tropism'. Phototropism happens when the plant needs more sunlight, and so turns to the available source of light. If a plant is planted the wrong way around, the roots will use geotropism to grow towards gravity and find water.
