Breloom (Pokémon)

|}
Breloom (Japanese: キノガッサ Kinogassa) is a dual-type introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from starting at level 23.
==Biology==
Breloom is a bipedal, -like with some kangaroo and dinosaur-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 , where it feeds on decomposing trees and plants.
Prior to Generation V, Breloom and its pre-evolved form, , were the only known Pokémon that could have as an Ability.
