Verdict

Collector's Pick
Tropius is a Grass/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 136/163/223 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,194. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Tropius in Pokemon GO?
Tropius has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Tropius for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Tropius's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Tropius is weak to Ice, Fire, Flying, Poison, Rock-type moves. It has a double weakness to Ice, taking 156% more damage from these types. When battling Tropius, prioritize using Ice-type attackers to exploit this double weakness for maximum effectiveness. On the other hand, Tropius resists Ground, Grass, Fighting, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Tropius effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Tropius's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Tropius's maximum CP is 2,194 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,941 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Tropius's CP is calculated from its base stats: 136 Attack, 163 Defense, and 223 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Tropius caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,109 CP, or 1,386 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Tropius?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Tropius has the following CP at key levels: 831 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,109 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,386 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,194 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Tropius, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Tropius ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Tropius in Pokemon GO?
Tropius can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Tropius can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Tropius be shiny in Pokemon GO?
