Pokedex Entries

Ruby

The bunches of fruit around TROPIUS’s neck are very popular with children. This POKéMON loves fruit, and eats it continuously. Apparently, its love for fruit resulted in its own outgrowth of fruit.

Sapphire

Children of the southern tropics eat as snacks the fruit that grows in bunches around the neck of TROPIUS. This POKéMON flies by flapping the leaves on its back as if they were wings.

Emerald

It flies by flapping its broad leaves. The bunch of fruit that grows around its neck is deliciously sweet. In the spring, it scatters pollen from its neck.

FireRed

It lives in tropical jungles. The bunch of fruit around its neck is delicious. The fruit grows twice a year.

Diamond

Because it continually ate only its favorite fruit, the fruit started growing around its neck.
