Strategy Overview
Tropius is a pretty bad Pokemon in PU; even though it has a niche as a bulky SubSeeder with access to the combination of Sitrus Berry and Harvest, it is largely outclassed by Gourgeist-S. It has decent bulk, allowing it to handle Pokemon such as Leafeon and Cacturne. However, its Grass / Flying typing gives it a weakness to Stealth Rock as well as to common attacking types such as Fire and Ice. Tropius is also outclassed as an offensive Grass-type by the likes of Leafeon and Sawsbuck. Its low Speed holds Tropius back, as it can be easily Taunted by the likes of Misdreavus and Grumpig, Encored by Kadabra, or taken out by faster Pokemon such as Floatzel and Rotom-F.
