# Tropius δ #23/101 — Dragon Frontiers

## Summary

Tropius is a quiet Hoenn favorite, the fruit-bearing sky dinosaur that rewards collectors who like their Pokémon a little odd. Tropical Heal gave it real use as a status-clearing Bench drop, and Mitsuhiro Arita's name adds a lasting draw for anyone assembling Dragon Frontiers. The modelled guide sits at $3.97, up 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 424 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
