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 are large sauropod Pokémon with brown and green bodies.

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.
- Tropius is the only Template:Type2 Pokémon that can learn Fly.
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 around, the roots will use geotropism to grow towards gravity and find water.
