Biology

Physiology

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.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

They can fly pretty well despite appearing ungainly in the air.

Behavior

Tropius spend their days feasting on fruit.

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Tropius enjoy fruit.

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 From Brags to Riches. A trainer named Dominick 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.

A wild Tropius also challenges Ash's Grovyle in Odd Pokémon Out.

A Tropius made an appearance in The Rise of Darkrai.

In the manga

Sapphire owns a Tropius named Troro given to her by Prof. Birch for flying purposes.

Pokédex entries

Gen	Game	Pokédex entry
III	Ruby	The bunches of fruit around Tropius's neck are very popular with children. This Pokémon loves fruit, and eats it continuously. Apparently, its love for fruit resulted in its own outgrowth of fruit.
	Sapphire	Children of the southern tropics eat as snacks the fruit that grows in bunches around the neck of Tropius. This Pokémon flies by flapping the leaves on its back as if they were wings.
	Emerald	It flies by flapping its broad leaves. The bunch of fruit that grows around its neck is deliciously sweet. In the spring, it scatters pollen from its neck.
	FireRed	It lives in tropical jungles. The bunch of fruit around its neck is delicious. The fruit grows twice a year.
	LeafGreen	It lives in tropical jungles. The bunch of fruit around its neck is delicious. The fruit grows twice a year.
IV	Diamond	Because it continually ate only its favorite fruit, the fruit started growing around its neck.
	Pearl	Because it continually ate only its favorite fruit, the fruit started growing around its neck.
	Platinum	Currently unknown
