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