Th is an entry to @frogcroaks' Pokémon Redesign contest. I picked Tropius.

While Tropius is based off a dinosaur and the banana tree, my redesign is based off the plantain and common lizards I find in my home country. The maroon leaves on the face are based off the bud of the plantain tree. The legs and claws are based off the trunk and roots. The strings tha tie the wings to the body are based off the fibres of the flesh of the plantain.

My redesign has two formes: a Maturing Forme and a Softened Forme. The Maturing Forme is Grass/Ground Type while the Softened Forme is Grass/Flying Type. The Maturing Forme has higher Attack and Defense while having very poor Speed; the Softened Forme has the opposite of these changes. The Ability 'Cycle Forward' switches Tropius' Formes:

Tropius switches to its Maturing Forme if the weather is Sandstorm, Hail, Shadow Aura, or Fog.

Tropius switches to its Softened Forme if the weather is (Extremely) Harsh Sunlight, (Heavy) Rain, or Strong Winds.

Clear Skies does not affect Tropius' current Forme.

The current Forme persists after battle.

Maturing Tropius do not like to move. Instead, they dig their legs into the ground and absorb nutrients through their claws in their legs. The nutrients help them grow. Meanwhile, their wings are wrapped around their bodies in a hard makeshift shell which also compresses their bodies to a dense hardness. They tend to be grumpy and keep to themselves.

Softened Tropius are far more friendlier, being happy to share their fruits t others. They are popular in the Carribean not only because of their fruits but also because of their large wings giving shade and breeze. Fibres ecure their wings to their bodies, helping them fly. Hugging the body of a Softened Tropius feel somewhat soft and squishy.
