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

It evolves from Shroomish at level 23.

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 "cap" on its head and seed clusters on the end of its tail 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 claws are ideal for slicing.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like Shroomish, Breloom can store up spores that causes several status ailments. They are also physically very strong, much like most Fighting-types, and extremely fast. Some of it's unique moves depends on these two factors; one being able to hit high opponents, and the other to make sure it strikes first.

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.

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.
• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Breloom.

Origin

Breloom is based on a mushroom. It also appears to draw inspiration from a kangaroo, from it's appearence and body structure. It is also based on several dinosaurs, possibly the Struthiomimus or Velociraptor. It is also slightly based on the ankylosauridae, due to its club tail.

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.
