Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 10): Pal Park — standing Pokémon.

  After the Cianwood Gym story opens the Resort Zone, enter Pal Park’s Fixed Catch mode for $10,000 with room for six more Pokémon in the PC. This standing Pokémon appears on Wednesday, or Monday 07:00–18:59. Bring your own Poké Balls.

Chance per encounter, under the conditions shown.

Times and conditions

• Morning: 4:00–9:59
• Day: 10:00–19:59
• Night: 20:00–3:59

Calendar encounters can replace a land slot on specific dates.

Where to find Tropius in the wild

Location	Method / conditions	Level	Chance
Pal Park, Fixed Catch mode: Monday	Grass/cave, any time	20	5%
Pal Park, Fixed Catch mode: Wednesday	Grass/cave, any time	20	4%
Route 27	Grass/cave, morning	30	1%
Route 27	Grass/cave, day	30	1%
Route 27	Grass/cave, night	30	1%
Alto Mare Waters	Grass/cave, morning and day	14	4%
Alto Mare Waters	Grass/cave, night	14	4%

Pal Park: The wild table changes with the day of the week (by the DS clock). You get in through the Catching Show's Fixed Catch mode at the Pal Park reception ($10,000; bring your own Poké Balls). Sunday's table is the same as Cerulean Cave's, probably by mistake in the hack, so it also has Surf and fishing slots: the park has a pond and a stretch of sea.

See the quest guide: Resort Zone: the Pal Park's Fixed Catch mode (wild Pokémon by weekday).
