Shroomish (Japanese:キノココKinococo) is aGrass-typePokémon introduced inGeneration III.

Itevolves intoBreloom starting atlevel 23.

Biology

Shroomish is a smallfungusPokémon similar to a mushroom. It has beady black eyes and a half-triangle-shaped mouth. Its upper body is beige with frilled segments along the bottom and a small opening at the top. There are green spots marking its upper body, while its lower body is completely green. It has small, round feet and no visible arms or hands. When it senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters toxic spores from the top of its head. These spores can make trees and weeds wilt and cause whole-body pain if inhaled. Shroomish lives intropical forests. During the day, it hides under fallen leaves in the shade. It eats composted soil in forests, which is made up of fallen, rotten leaves.

Prior toGeneration V, Shroomish and its evolved form,Breloom, were theonly known Pokémon that could havePoison Heal as an Ability.
