Tropius is a combination of ''tropical'' and ''saurus'' (Greek for ''lizard''). It may also be a pun of ''tropism''; {{wp|phototropism}} happens when the plant needs more sunlight, so turns to the available source of light, and if a plant is planted the wrong way around, the roots will use {{wp|geotropism}} to grow towards gravity and find water. | Tropius is a combination of ''tropical'' and ''saurus'' (Greek for ''lizard'').
