Tropius often live in the rainforests, a steady fructivore, they can often be seen extending their long slender necks to eat the fruit off of tall trees.

The nanab berries growing off this pokémon's chin are a sign of it's health, the larger these berries, the more healthy the tropius is. If you find a tropius without this fruit, it does not mean it's unhealthy, sometimes it gives it's fruit to those it considers friends, or the fruit has been poached by either hungry pokémon which overpowered it, or the occassional mean, hungry trainer.

The huge leaves on it's back are strong, light and flexible, making them excellent wings that allow this large pokémon to fly, and certainly grants it the flying sub-type, in addition to allowing it to fly, they also allow this pokémon to absorb sunlight, If you're ever going over the rainforests in a helicopter, be on the look-out for these pokémon sunning themselves over the forest canopy.

THE FOOTPRINT OF A TROPIUS

So far it has been discovered that Tropius are only found in Hoenn, along route 119, the constant rains and lush forest there, are where pokémon like this flourish.

There have been rumors that a Shadow Tropius was once in the Orre region, this has yet to be verified.
