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

It evolves from Shroomish starting 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 green "cap" on its head with visible gills and a round, somewhat Berry-like or oak gall-like portion on both sides. Breloom’s head, neck and tail are tan in coloration. Breloom’s mouth is somewhat beak-like in shape, and there is a petal-like arrangement of extensions from its shoulders. Breloom’s chest and lower body is green, and its feet have two red claws. Breloom has seed clusters made of hardened toxic spores on the end of its tail, which 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 foreclaws are ideal for slicing.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Breloom has toxic spores on its tail, which are horrible to eat. 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. In one of its Pokédex entries, it says that it has an excellent fighting technique that puts boxers to shame.

Behavior

Breloom come in groups along with other Shroomish and partake in tasks for their survival like foraging for food and defending their kind from enemies and predators. Once threatened, Breloom will not hesitate to fight and will not cease until their enemies have been warded off or beaten. Breloom are formidable combatants in battle and will take on almost any Pokémon who poses as a threat to their kind, especially their young. Breloom’s fighting technique consists of closing in on its foe with light and sprightly footwork before punching with its stretchy arms. Breloom also scatters spores from holes in the mushroom cap on its head.

Habitat

Breloom prefers warm and humid climates.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Breloom feeds on trees and plants in fields and forests.

In the anime

Major appearances

The first major role Breloom had was in A Shroomish Skirmish. Ash and his 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 took on the leader Breloom in a vicious hand to hand fight and suddenly declared a truce between them, saving the day.

Kenny has a Breloom that appeared in Journey to the Unown! and Team Shocker!

Minor appearances

Breloom's first appearance was a cameo in the first Advanced Generation series movie, Jirachi: Wish Maker. The Mushroom Pokémon was one of the residents of Forina, Jirachi's home.

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

A Breloom appeared in Pasta la Vista!, under the ownership of the Fighting Dojo.

A Breloom was battled by Ash and Pikachu during the tournament in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

Some Breloom made a cameo in the opening to Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Breloom appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions as a few of the many local Pokémon who lives in Crown City. Two Breloom worked with the other Pokémon in surrounding Zorua to attack him, angry at Zorua for what Zoroark did to the city. Before a fight broke out, the Breloom, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed by Celebi.

Trivia

  • Breloom has the highest Attack out of all Grass-type Pokémon.
  • Despite being called the Mushroom Pokémon, and some Pokédex entries mentioning its spores, Breloom does not learn Spore via level-up. However, it can have the Ability Effect Spore.
  • Breloom and its pre-evolved form, Shroomish, share their species name with Paras, Parasect, Foongus, and Amoonguss. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
    • These are also the only Pokémon that can have the Ability Effect Spore other than as a Hidden Ability.

Origin

Breloom is based on a mushroom and its body structure resembles that of a kangaroo. The shapes of its head and tail resemble that of the armored dinosaurs, Pachycephalosaurus and Ankylosaurus, respectively.

Name origin

Breloom may be a combination of umbrella and mushroom. In Latin, bellum means war, perhaps a nod to its Fighting type.

Kinogassa may be a combination of 茸 kinoko (mushroom) and 傘 kasa (umbrella).
