Pokemon Farming: Tropius
January 25, 2008
How does that Pokemon fly?
When Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire came out some of us were surprised that another Grass/Flying Pokemon had been added to the game. (Hoppip was the first.) So here was have Tropius, the fruit Pokemon!
Tropius
This Pokemon will have one of two Abilities:
- Chlorophyll: When sunny, the Pokémon’s Speed doubles. However, Speed will not double on the turn weather becomes Clear Skies.
- Solar Power: Pokémon’s Special Attack raises to 1.5 times but HP decreases every turn.
- Move Set
- Grass Knot – Grass – Special: The heavier the foe the more damage this move does.
- Air Slash – Flying – Special: Power 75 and Accuracy 9%: 30% chance of causing Flinch.
- Body Slam – Normal – Physical: Power 85 and Accuracy 100 : 30% chance of causing Paralyze.
- Earthquake – Ground – Physical: Power 100 and Accuracy 100 : Hits everyone on the field.
Tropius’s main problem is Ice Pokemon. Tropius has a 4X weakness to Ice types. None of the move on this Tropius are of much use against an Ice type Pokemon so please keep that in mind when using Tropius.
Tropius also has 2X weakness against Fire, Poison, Flying and Rock Pokemon. Lucky for you Earthquake is very effective against Fire and Poison Pokemon, Grass Knot will take out most Rock Pokemon (who are often heavy). The only typing that you do not have an effective attack against is Flying.
When I started this project I wanted to see just what I could do with Tropius. Two of the moves on him are from TMs but I did not want to use up a TM is possible. With that in mind I bred my first female Tropius with my Torterra to pass on Earthquake. Sadly no Pokemon learn Grass Knot by leveling up so I had to burn a TM for that one.
Now that I had the TM moves that I wanted I looked over Tropius’s level up moves and decided on Air Slash and Body Slam. Tropius learns Body Slam at level 37 and Air slash at level 47. Because both parents must have matching level up moves in order to pass them on to their offspring I had to level up two Pokemon to level 47. Yes, it took some time to do so. It is also important to note that the next move learned (Solar Beam) pops up at level 51. Why is this important? Because, if you leave them in the day care popping out eggs for too long that move will be learned and will replace one of the other moves that they know!
After breeding up a large number of eggs I had to work to hatch all of those eggs. At close to 4100 steps each (even with an egg-hatching Pokemon in the party) it was quite some time before all of these kids were ready.
Rules
1. I will take any Pokemon you want to give me.
2. The Pokemon you trade to me should be holding something.
3. I prefer berries over all other items.
4. The only exception to berries are the two items that Magby/Elekid hold when caught in the wild.
5. When you leave your information in the comments below your trainer name must be correct. When I do the trading I refer to the comments on the site to see who gets what.
6. When you enter the Wi-Fi zone select the trade option and wait for me to select you.
7. If you can, be early. I am sometimes on early.
8. Don’t be afraid to trade amongst yourselves.
