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