Trivia

Origin

Skiploom appears to be based on a bulb and a flower.

Name origin

Skiploom's name is a combination of skip and bloom. It could also be a play on the children's song Skip to My Lou, with an "m" added to the end, implying "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.
