Tropius (Japanese: トロピウス Tropius) is a dual-type Grass/Flying Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Tropius are large sauropod Pokémon with brown and green bodies. They possess large, broad 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 favored food, fruits. They also grow fruits of their own on their necks which resemble a bunch of ripe bananas and are sometimes confused with a beard. These fruits can be picked and consumed by other Pokémon and by humans, and grow twice a year because of the rapid reproduction of sugar in their leaves, making the rapid production of the fruits in its neck. Their feet have toenails the same color as their fruit.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Tropius can wield a large variety of grass-type attacks, such as SolarBeam and Magical Leaf. It can also use the leaves on its back as wings and fly.
Behavior
Tropius spend their days feasting on fruit. They are generous, allowing children and other Pokémon to pick and eat the fruit growing on their neck.
Habitat
Tropius live in tropical jungles, although they also appear in southern Sinnoh, which is one of the warmer areas of the region.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Tropius enjoy fruit, especially one kind in particular. Since it ate only this kind of fruit continuously, the fruit began to grow around its neck.

Trivia
Origin
Tropius shares characteristics with the Brachiosaurus, a sauropod dinosaur 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. Tropius also resembles a banana plant.
Name origin
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.
