- D.

- E.

Correct Answer
D. Tropius' speed IV is defined by the range 26 ≤ Speed IV ≤ 28.Explanation
Tropius' speed is in between Ditto's and Tangrowth's, which are 132 and 136 respectively. Because there are no speed ties, Tropius' speed must be 133, 134, or 135. The only way to achieve those speed stats in an Adamant Tropius is if his Speed IV is either 26, 27, or 28, or, in other words, 26 ≤ Speed IV ≤ 28.Rate this question:
