Breloom (Japanese: キノガッサ Kinogassa) is a dual-type Grass/Fighting Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
In sharp contrast to the diminutive Shroomish, Breloom sports an agile shape, similar to a kangaroo or a theropod. It has a mushroom-like green "cap" on its head with visible gills and a round, somewhat berry-like or oak gall-like portion on one side. Breloom’s head, neck, and tail are tan in coloration. Breloom’s mouth is somewhat beak-like in shape, and there is a petal-like arrangement of extensions from its shoulders. Breloom’s chest and lower body is green, and its feet have two red claws. Breloom has seed clusters made of hardened toxic spores on the end of its tail, which it uses to slam into its foe. Its arms appear to be short and of little use, but they can stretch surprisingly far to deliver punches. Its red foreclaws are ideal for slicing.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Like Shroomish, Breloom can store up spores that causes several status ailments, and especially notable among these are the toxic spores on its tail, which are horrible to eat. They are also physically very strong, much like most Template:Type2s, and extremely fast. Some of its unique moves depends on these two factors; one being able to hit high opponents, and the other to make sure it strikes first.
Behavior
Breloom come in groups along with other Shroomish and partake in tasks for their survival like foraging for food and defending their kind from enemies and predators. Once threatened, Breloom will not hesitate to fight and will not cease until their enemies have been warded off or beaten. Breloom are formidable combatants in battle and will take on almost any Pokémon who poses as a threat to their kind, especially their young. Breloom’s fighting technique consists of closing in on its foe with light and sprightly footwork before punching with its stretchy arms. Breloom also scatters spores from holes in the mushroom cap on its head.
Habitat
Breloom prefers warm and humid climates.

- In Generation III, Breloom did not learn any Template:Type2 moves by level up after evolving.
- Breloom's petal-like appendages adorning its neck, as depicted in its sprite, are noticeably longer in Generation III. Breloom also seems to have smaller 'hands' in Generation III as well.
- Before Generation V, Breloom can learn False Swipe through breeding, but not by TM.
- Breloom can also learn False Swipe via the Shadow Shroomish in Pokemon XD, as it learns the move immediately after purification.
- As of Generation V, Breloom is the only green Template:Type2 Pokémon.
