Breloom

Breloom (Japanese: キノガッサ Kinogassa) is a dual-type Grass/Fighting Pokémon.
It evolves from Shroomish starting at level 23.
==Biology==
Breloom is a bipedal, mushroom-like Pokémon with some kangaroo-like qualities. Most of its body is green, but its head to its neck and its tail are beige. On top of its head is a green, mushroom-like cap with beige gills underneath and a round, red berry-like growth with a hole in the middle on either side. It has oval, black eyes, a beak-like mouth, and frilled segments around the base of its neck. There are two red claws on each of its hands and feet. At the end of its tail, there are seed clusters made of hardened toxic spores that are horrible to eat.
Breloom can stretch its short arms to deliver fast punches. Additionally, it has light, springy footwork that allows it to get close to opponents. Another way it closes in on opponents is by incapacitating them with spores released from the holes in its cap. Its technique is equal to that of professional boxers. It prefers to live in tropical forests, where it feeds on decomposing trees and plants.

==Trivia==
*Breloom and its pre-evolved form share their species name with Paras, Parasect, Foongus, and Amoonguss. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
===Origin===
Breloom is based on a mushroom, specially agaric types. Because many of Breloom's localized names seem to reference hats, its Fighting type might be related to various sorts of traditional Asian hats, some used by monks, samurais, and soldiers. Since Breloom's body structure resembles that of a kangaroo, its Fighting-type could also be related to the boxing 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 笠 kasa or 傘 kasa (umbrella). It may also involve a corruption of 衣笠茸 kinugasatake.
