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 and feet. Its has large, flat ears on the sides of its head and a bloom on the top of its head.
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 it's 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.

Name origin
Skiploom's name is a combination of skip and bloom, referring to the flower on top of Skiploom's head. It also may be based on the phrase "hop, skip, and jump". The name may also come from loom, where fruit grows. Its Japanese name is based on 蒲公英 tanpopo, dandelion and 根っ子 nekko, root.
