Tropius Trivia and Fun Facts
Pokémon world is filled with such rich lore that enchants its followers. Tropius, classified as a Grass/Flying type Pokémon, is no exception. It’s been a beloved character ever since it appeared in the third generation Pokémon games “Ruby and Sapphire”. Tropius, famously known for the nutritious bunches of fruit growing around its neck, has its special attributes heightened in the Alola region where the fruits are especially sweet. Much like the fine wine, the longer the fruits of Tropius ripen in the Alola sun, the sweeter they become – just like the grand allure of this card for collectors.
The Significance of Cosmic Eclipse
‘Cosmic Eclipse’, released in November 2019, is the final expansion of the Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon series and, hence, holds a distinct place in the community. It is renowned as one of the largest sets in the history of Pokémon TCG, boasting over 236 cards. This set is renowned for its introduction of Tag Team GX cards, allowing for unique and novel strategies in game play. Tropius, though not a part of these high-powered Tag Team cards, still plays a significant part of this grand narrative with its own unique flavor.
Conclusion
In the grand encapsulation of the Pokémon universe within card form, the Tropical Wind Pokémon – Tropius holds a special place. Not all cards are made equal and Tropius serves as a reminder of that diversity, standing out even within the vast expanses of the ‘Cosmic Eclipse’ set. While Tropius may not overshadow its more powerful counterparts in terms of gameplay, its importance lies within the narrative it carries – the embodiment of the tropical lands of Alola. To both collectors, who appreciate its rare Alolan imagery, and innovative players seeking to explore every avenue of the game, the Tropius card is indeed a fly-high addition to every deck.
