Its greatest asset is HP — higher than 87% of species. Weak point: Speed — lower than 66% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. Defensively it can rely on 5 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Ice type — damage from it is quadrupled. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Def, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
Attack (68) and Sp. Atk (72) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.
- Mild +SpA · −Def The boost goes into the stronger offensive stat and the drop into a defense that does not decide anything anyway.
- Solar Power raises Sp. Atk by 50% in harsh sunlight, so a nature that raises this stat boosts the base before the multiplier. The condition is not free: the ability takes 1/8 of max HP every turn.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it
Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits.
Rank 233 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.02% of teams.
Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.
Pokédex entry
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.

Variant gallery
The gallery shows only the appearance variants that exist for this Pokémon. Every image shows the same character and differs in source — a Pokémon HOME render or a pixel sprite — and in coloring, regular or shiny.
TCG cards (12)
All Tropius cards →Tropius has 12 cards in 12 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 156 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 25 cycles, which is roughly 6,600 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
