Skiploom (Japanese: ポポッコ Popocco) is a dual-type Grass/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Hoppip starting at level 18, and evolves into Jumpluff starting at level 27.
Biology
Physiology
Skiploom is a plant Pokémon and has a round, green body with stubby arms, feet, and tail. It has large, flat ears on the sides of its head and a yellow bloom on the top. Skiploom has ovular red eyes with no pupils.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Much like Hoppip, Skiploom needs a gust of wind to get itself airborne. It flies using its flower as a propeller. The bloom on top of its head open and closes as the temperature fluctuates up and down and its flower blossoms when the temperature rises above 64°F. Because of this it is sometimes used as a thermometer.
Behavior
Skiploom spreads its petals to absorb as much sunlight as possible. It also floats in the air to try to get closer to the sun. When it rains, this Pokémon closes its flower and immediately hides under the shade of a tree to avoid getting wet.
