Breloom (Japanese: キノガッサ Kinogassa) is a Grass/Fighting-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

In sharp contrast to the diminutive Shroomish, Breloom sports an agile shape, similar to a kangaroo or a theropod dinosaur. It has a mushroom-like "cap" on its head and seed clusters on the end of its tail. Its arms appear to be short and off little use, but they can stretch surprisingly far to deliver punches.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

In addition to storing up spores that causes several status aliments, they also physically very strong, much like most Fighting-types.

A group of Breloom from A Shroomish Skirmish.

The first major role Breloom had was in A Shroomish Skirmish. Ash and friends were being attacked by Breloom that had evolved from Shroomish that were mad at them for stealing their food. May's newly evolved Combusken defeated the Breloom and saved the day.

Breloom had another cameo in Numero Uno Articuno as a Pokémon belonging to Noland.

Kenny has a Breloom that appeared in DP060 and DP061.

Trivia

• Though an alternate colored Breloom that was once shown in the anime was dark blue with a green lower neck, the real shiny form of Breloom is red.
• Breloom is considered one of the most fearsome Pokémon in competitive play because of his imposing Attack stat and his reliable sleep-inducing move. For these reasons, it is very commonly used.
• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Breloom.

Origin

Breloom is based on a mushroom.

Name origin

Breloom's name may be a combination of umbrella and mushroom. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of 茸 kinoko, mushrooms, and 傘 kasa, umbrella.

In other languages

• French: Chapignon - From champion and champignon.
