'''Shroomish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノココ''' ''Kinococo'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Breloom}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shroomish are small green and peach colored Pokémon with a clear inspiration from mushrooms. They are peach on the upper half, where they are spotted with green and have a small opening at the top. This section ends with frilled segments, which overlap its green underside, which is round and has small, round feet. Shroomish seem to have a near permanent frown on their face.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Shroomish has a buildup of poisonous powders inside, which it can release when threatened. Some Shroomish also heal when {{status|poison}}ed.

===Behavior===
Shroomish are said to be mild tempered, and are often found keeping still under fallen leaves. If a Shroomish senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters toxic spores from the top of its head.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They prefers the damp soil of large forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Shroomish eat naturally decayed plants, leaves, and other compost found on the forest floor. However, they are sometimes found in possession of a [[Kebia Berry]].

==Trivia==
* Shroomish is the only Grass-type to learn {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} via {{pkmn|breeding}}, despite not possessing hands.
* Shroomish is able to learn {{m|False Swipe}} via the Shadow Shroomish being purified in {{Pokémon XD}}, yet it does not possess claws or any other objects to slice with. It learns the move immediately after purification.
* Shroomish and its evolved form, {{p|Breloom}}, share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** These are also the only Pokémon that can have the ability {{a|Effect Spore}} without having come from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}.
* Shroomish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Paras}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Shroomish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Paras is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak|Mass Outbreak]] in {{rt|11|Unova|the same location}} in their respective versions. Additionally, both are based on fungi.
*Shroomish is the only fungi-based Pokémon that is not dual-typed.

===Origin===
Shroomish is based on a mushroom.

====Name origin====
Shroomish's name is derived from ''{{wp|mushroom}}'' and the suffix ''-ish'', meaning ''-like'', or the word ''skirmish'', since {{p|Breloom|Shroomish's evolved form}} is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

''Kinococo'' is a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 子 ''ko'', child.
