*Stare at the sprites and compare them* You know, Bannette does have this Lei-Lei feel to it, an evolution based off her in style and etc could work.
Ghost Psychic is a no. 4x Pursuit weakness FTL!Why not just make a new poke line that is ghost fighting?
My vote changed to NEW POKE
Nintendo probly has evos sitting around...and new evos rarely change type. We could go onto the next poll as an actual poll with options for typing that people have suggested:
Ghost/Fighting
Fighting/Flying
Grass/Fire
Fire/Dragon w/ Levitate lol
Ice/Electric
Anything paired with Electric
And maybe some other suggested type combos that seem popular. A cool one would be Ghost/Psychic or Electric/Psychic. We need some new dual type psychics...maybe a Psychic/DARK!!!!! That would be awesome.
Why not just evolve Banette?Why not just make a new poke line that is ghost fighting?
I say yes!where's the poll?
I think we should give Tropius an evo- Grass/Dragon base 600, it carries on the 4 times weakness to ice, like the other base 600 dragons, so it wouldn't be broken.
Biggest. Double. Edged. Sword. Ever. ;;where's the poll?

I really liked this idea. Tropius is the ony one of those apparently-fully-evolved pokémon that I still see evolving. And BubblegumAngie pretty much pointed out the pros and cons already. By the way, it gets a Ground resist too (okay, he was immune when a Tropius, but still).where's the poll?

Mmm, Altaria.And, with those Base Stats, I see it being a defensive pokémon with Draco Meteor (._.) and Leaf Storm backing it up. Would a defensive Grass/Dragon pokémon work in OU, or at least be too overpowered for UU? That'd be a good topic for future discussions.
Ah, good point with Altaria. But Altaria has 70 base Sp. Attack, and Tropius has 72. If we are going to evolve it, it's probably going to get higher Sp. Attack, and then it's going to be a lor more dangerous.Mmm, Altaria.
And, for the realistic post, I think it could.
Switch it into a Surf/Thunder/Thunderbolt/Solarbeam/Energy Ball/etc., and hope it can try to set up a sweep before you say hi to...
Jynx, Weavile, any Water-type, etc.
I think it could = I think it could work in OU.Ah, good point with Altaria. But Altaria has 70 base Sp. Attack, and Tropius has 72. If we are going to evolve it, it's probably going to get higher Sp. Attack, and then it's going to be a lor more dangerous.
And with that "I think it could", it could what? Work in OU? Be too overpowered in UU? Be usable in UU? Be the first Dragon pokémon to ever reach NU? (okay no)
You do realize they both have Roost and Altaria does have Dragon Dance, so it isn't as if speed is an issue, Tropius can raise speed with Sunny Day (although that makes it fire bait, although Infernape isn't particularly fond of Air Slash)Even if we did that, it would be BL and wouldn't tank well with the 4x ice weak and the other 2x weaks.
You do realize that even if Sunny Day is in effect, it can't hurt anything with its mediocre attacking stats unless we bump it up in an evolution. With a 4x weakness ot Ice, 2x weakness to Poison, Flying, Bug, and Dragon, it doesn't make a good tank/wall considering that all good teams run at least 1 of those attacks. All the other Dragons have at the most 3 weaknesses, Rock, Dragon, and Ice for Mence/Altaria/Dragonite, so this new Tropius Grass/Dragon Evo is going to be outclassed in almost every way unless we gave it insanely ridiculous stat distributions or a signiture move or trait that makes it stand out.You do realize they both have Roost and Altaria does have Dragon Dance, so it isn't as if speed is an issue, Tropius can raise speed with Sunny Day (although that makes it fire bait, although Infernape isn't particularly fond of Air Slash)
