Name origin
Tropius's name is a corruption of tropic.
This Pokémon shares characteristics with the brachiosaurus, a sauropod from the late Jurassic period. There is also a legend that a creature known as Mokele mbembe, which is said to resemble a sauropod, lives on in the jungles of the Congo basin in Africa.
In the anime
Tropius's first appearance was in the Pokémon movie Jirachi: Wish Maker. In it, Tropius was fleeing from the fake Groudon that was trying to snatch all the Pokémon.
The first major role that Tropius had was in AG127. A trainer named Dominic used the Fruit Pokémon and a Swalot against Ash's Corphish and Torkoal. Tropius and Torkoal knocked each other out when their Solarbeam and Overheat attacks connected and created an explosion.
