Tropius (#357) is a Grass/Flying-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,220 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Tropius can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Tropius in 2026.
Tropius's Attack stat is 136 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Tropius may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 163 Defense (Good) and 223 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 522. This gives Tropius reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Grass-type Pokémon, Tropius's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Tropius depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Air Slash (Fast) with Stomp (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Tropius has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Tropius can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Grass/Flying typing provides useful matchups against Ground, Grass, Water-type threats while being weak to Ice, Fire, Poison types.
In Master League, Tropius faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Tropius's effectiveness depends on its typing and 136 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Tropius use Ice, Fire-type moves.
Tropius can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Sunny/Clear weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
