Tropius

Fruit Pokémon

GrassFlying

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.

Strategy Overview

Tropius is basically a poor man's version of Exeggutor. It cannot use Swords Dance well either. If, perchance, its max HP was two higher, it could produce 101 HP Substitutes and then have a use, but unfortunately, it doesn't. 99 Base HP is very odd. Seriously, use Exeggutor for Sunny Day + Chlorophyll movesets. In Ubers, Tropius might be able to switch into Groudon's Earthquake and Solar Beam it to death or Swords Dance up, though it doesn't stand a chance of doing anything else and is still inferior to Jumpluff, who has access to Sleep Powder, Encore, and a myriad of other status moves.
