Don’t know where to find Tropius in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Tropius is a handy Pokémon to find, so it stands to reason that tracking them down is helpful. If not for their abilities, then for the material they drop when you defeat them. So, if you want to hoard these materials, then you should note the area where you can battle Tropius. We’ll highlight their location as well as their abilities if you want to use them as one of your battle companions.
Where to Find Tropius in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Some Pokémon are worthwhile when it comes to battles, while others are handier for their materials in making TMs. Depending on how you look at it, Tropius might lean more toward the latter.
Tropius is not exactly a Pokémon you can miss, though. A 3rd Generation Grass/Flying-type, Tropius is taller than the player character. They have fruit hanging around their necks and don’t tend to run from you, either. So, they’re straightforward to approach and battle once you’re in their general vicinity.
But where exactly do you find Tropius in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Well, head to one of the following regions:
- Casseroya Lake
- West Province (Area Three)
Tropius is a critter that likes hanging out around trees, so consider searching in grassy areas. It is a rather broad area too that you can search. As Tropius is not a rare find, they should not be difficult to track down in the game.

Now, when you find Tropius in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, remember its dual type of Grass and Flying. This gives it a more versatile approach to battle. However, this also gives you more variety in the type of Pokémon and moves you can use to beat them.
Consider Ice-type moves as they are highly effective against Tropius. Fire, Rock, Flying and Poison-type moves also work well.
Tropius does have some average base stats, which are listed below:
- HP: 99
- Attack: 68
- Defense: 83
- Special Attack: 72
- Special Defense: 87
- Speed: 51
Of course, the level you find Tropius at in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will determine how dangerous they might be in combat.
If you don’t need the dual-type Pokémon in your party, they are good for gaining Tropius Leafs. You will need the material to make these TMs:
- Leaf Storm
- Solar Beam
- Frenzy Plant
So, at the end of the day, it’s worth it to find Tropius so you can gain some new moves for your companions in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
