Trivia
- Tropius and Tangela are the only non-starter, non-legendary Pokémon that cannot be found in some manner in Generation IV. Like the starters and legendaries of Generations I, II, and III, they must be sent forward from Generation III.
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 corruption of tropic. 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 round, the roots will use geotropism to grow towards gravity and find water.
