This isn’t my moveset, it belongs to Ins4ne Gam3rs but still…

Tropius @ Sitrus BerryAbility: HarvestCareful Nature252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def- Leech Seed- Substitute- Toxic- Leaf Blade

VERY stally set. Leech Seed, Toxic and then Sub. Leaf Blade for backup and Sitrus Berry/Harvest + Leech Seed gives you one hell of a recovery method. I stalled an entire OU team to death with just this Tropius! Hope this helps.

Tropius @ Life OrbAbility: ChlorophyllEVs: 28 HP / 252 SpA / 228 SpeTimid Nature- Solar Beam/Giga Drain- Air Slash- Hidden Power [Fire]- Synthesis / Growth

With Sun support.Solar Beam is STAB and hits hard, Giga Drain can be used for healing though.Air Slash is STAB as well and complements Solar Beam/Giga Drain nicely and hitting Grass types, and gives more coverage as well.Hidden Power [Fire] gets the boost from Sun and has excellent coverage along with the other moves.Synthesis is nice healing, while Growth can be used to boost Tropius' offenses.

Tropius@ Sitrus BerryAbility: HarvestEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpABold Nature- Substitute- Protect- Leech Seed- Solar Beam / Energy Ball / Giga Drain

This is a SubSeed set. Substitute works amazingly with Leech Seed as you can avoid lot of damage, while you stall with Leech Seed. Protect also works great, because you can scout attacks and you can prevent damage. The last slot is just if you need a sort of direct attack.This set works best with Sun support.

Specially Defensive Curse Tank:

NANNERS! (Tropius) @ Lum BerryAbility: HarvestEVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpDCareful Nature- Curse- Rest- Leaf Blade- Outrage

Curse boosts your somewhat decent Defense and mediocre Attack, while losing some of your already pitiful speed. Rest is a quick, drawback-free return to full health thanks to Lum Berry. Leaf Blade is obligatory STAB, and Outrage does massive damage, and the confusion will more than likely be remedied by the Lum Berry.

Tropius @ Lum BerryAbility: HarvestEVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 SpeAdamant Nature- Dragon Dance- Rest- Bullet Seed- Earthquake

EVs give decent enough bulk, while still letting Tropius have the chance to potentially sweep after 2 Dragon Dances, preferably 3. Harvest + Lum sweeper set is nice.

Tropius(M) @ LeftoversAbility: Solar PowerEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature-Solar Beam-Roost-Dragon Pulse-Hidden Power [Fire] / Hyper Beam

This is one the epicest Pokemon I have ever made in my sun team. Use Solar Power to raise your SpA insanely high, and Leftovers cover the recoil damage from it. Dragon Pulse for coverage and Solar Beam for one turn STAB. Roost is for reliable healing and Hyper Beam is to demolish the opponent if they’re being annoying. Hidden Power [Fire] hits Steel types. I don’t want to brag, but this is definitely the best Pokemon in my sun team… and who could have thought that Tropius could achieve this? Well, you found out…it is abeast.

Gen 7 ZU sets

Dragon Dance

Tropius @ Sitrus BerryAbility: HarvestEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature

Leaf Blade is STAB, Earthquake is coverage. Aerial Ace is STAB and hits Grass types, which resist Leaf Blade and Earthquake. Dragon Hammer hits Dragon types. Dragon Dance for set up

Special Attacker

Tropius @ Life OrbAbility: Solar PowerEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid / Modest Nature

Energy Ball is STAB and covers Rock types, Solar Beam does the same but is stronger. Only use Solar Beam if you have sun support like Torkoal or Ninetales. Air Slash is Flying STAB. Hidden Power Fire is coverage and is boosted by 50% in the sun. Dragon Pulse hits Dragon types, Roost to heal from Solar Power, Life Orb, and other things like Stealth Rock damage.

Staller

Tropius @ Sitrus BerryAbility: HarvestEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDBold Nature

Substitute blocks damage, Leech Seed drains HP, Toxic piles on the residual damage, Protect to stall, Air Slash does a little bit of damage.

OMG GUYS!! ITS AN ATTACKING TROPIUS!!!1

Never useTropius, the only reason you’re going to use Tropius because It looks cool, It’s very forgettable.. And It could be outclassed by an unevolved Pokemon too…

Tropius @ Choice ScarfAbility: Solar PowerEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Solar Beam- Leaf Storm- Hidden Power [Ice]- Dragon Pulse

Charizard’s Role:Solar Sweeper/Solar Power HelperTropius:Scarf Sweeper

I don’t know why people aren’t using this move for Tropius ever since it got a buff…(sun team)Tropius @ LeftoversAbility: ChlorophyllEVs: 128 HP / 128 SpA / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Substitute / Sunny day- Growth- Giga Drain- Air SlashIf you are playing in a play through, I would switch Sub with sunny day. This set up is for gen 5 and up, after growth got a decent buff (doubling when in harsh sunlight), I had to try it out, and the results were actually surprising, Tropius could be a scary threat when left alone. and while sunny day is active, the speed for tropius doubles, making the banana dinosaur pretty fast if you invest your EV’s into speed. One growth during sunlight and they have to do something about the fast, and tanky banana dino thats straight up used nasty plot for plants. I do say that perfect counters for this tropius set is a steel type, but because it’s basically bait, I would recommend you to keep your real sweeper for a more valuable turn.
