Bamboom is a battle Pokémon in Fakemon Tournament, debuting from Pokémon Mighty & Nasty versions, hailed from the Ironeo region.
==Background==
Bamboom is a Grass/Fire Pokémon living in many of the Ironeo region forest. Their "fuse" is an indication if they will use any explosive moves such as Explosion or their signature move, Boom Blast, in order to warn enemies that it will use it as an ultimatum to protect its friends. They can have a bad temper and does not tolerate rude or unfaithful trainers.
They can be found in both Ironeo and Futumia, but they are more abundant in the former one than the latter one. However, they had enough Neon DNA to be capable to Neon Evolve into Bamblast, a powerful Neon Evolution capable to absorb a forest fire. Unlike the other fighters who are already Neon Evolved, this Bamboom only use it as his Synergy Burst.
While its slow speed is notable, the other stats are a bit higher than average, making Bamboom rather adaptable in most situations other than hit-and-run and similar strategies.
==Gameplay==
Bamboom is a standard Pokémon, but he had better defense and less speed, while also having strong attacks that can be used for punishment. He is also have a lot of ranged attacks does to his strecthing arms, making him difficult to dodge but also leave him easy to get hit by ranged attacks. That being said, his own ranged attacks are powerful, making him dangerous for opponents who adapt the hit-and-run strategy.
His tall stucture make him easy to get hit, but he make up for it by having long range of melee and range attacks. While some of them are slower, those slow attacks are very powerful and deliver a punishment on those who used a long end-lag attacks. Faster one are not as strong but none of them are weak except of his Bullet Seed attack.
Bamboom also had two super armors; one using his Overheat, and another one during his counter attack. His Synergy Burst will Neon Evolve him into Bamblast, which makes him a bit slower, but had a greater boost of power and defense. He also gain an additional super armor while performing his Burst Attack.

==Trivia==
*Bamboom is the first Pokémon to be added by Samtendo09.
*Bamboom is the only Pokemon with Neon Evolution who does not permanently use it and instead is served as his Synergy Burst. As a result, Bamblast is not a fully-playable Neon Evolution and thus the only one who got such treatment so far.
