Tropicaw No. 173

GrassSize MNot rideableDay & night
✦ Rarity · Rare — "Buys you a longer dodge"

Flower Dance stretches the invincibility window on your dodge rolls and dodge steps by 15–30%. It does not make you hit harder or take less damage — it widens the moment where damage does not happen at all, which is a very different kind of upgrade.

Partner skill
Flower Dance — "While in party, extends the invincibility period during dodge rolls and dodge steps by (15~30)%. (Does not stack)" It rewards players who already dodge. If you tank hits instead, it does nothing for you.

Tropicaw hatches from a Large Verdant Egg, or you can catch one in the wild. In the Breeding Farm it sits at CombiRank 1350, so plenty of matching pairs can land on it.

The story of Tropicaw

"While some say that it flails around to mimic flowers swaying in the wind and avoid predators, others argue that a crimson flower thrashing violently at high speeds is simply so unsettling that nothing dares approach it."

One theory says it thrashes about to imitate flowers in the wind and put predators off. The other points out that a crimson flower whipping around at high speed is not exactly camouflage. The Paldeck presents both and picks neither, which is the funnier option.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Pair it with Verdash and Valentail and you become genuinely hard to hit.

Even day/night split — no need to plan the trip around the clock.

The extra i-frames are subtle until the fight where they are not.
