Team pitfalls when building around Tropius

  • Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to fire, ice, and poison.
  • Rock coverage and entry-hazard pressure can make this Pokemon harder to use without support.
  • Defensive Pokemon still need offensive partners; avoid building a team that cannot pressure key types.
