Shroomy

Shroomy is Poppy's Shroomish, and the second she acquired during the Neo-Sinnoh Arc.

Personality

Mild-mannered, Shroomy goes about his own way. He is friendly, and doesn't like those who are not friendly. He leaps into action to protect those he cares about, and stands up to enemies much bigger than him. He aspires to be stronger so he can protect people and fight off enemies more efficiently, and he is full of surprises.

Details

• Birthday: 13th of June, 2022
• Age: 1
• Met: Route 121 (caught aboard the Ranger helicopter)
• Ability: Poison Heal
• Ball: Poke Ball

Battle Strategy

Shroomy's favorite opener in battle is to hit the opponent with either a Spore or Leech Seed. Then, he'll maybe fire off a Seed Bomb or two, or hit the opponent with the other opening move he didn't use at the start of the battle. When it comes to physical attack, he hits his opponents with Headbutt. If he is inflicted with a status condition, however, he will start to panic - unless he's inflicted with poison, which, thanks to his Poison Heal ability, actually heals him.

Known Techniques

• Leech Seed, Seed Bomb, Spore
• Headbutt

Relationships

• Poppy: Due to being her starter, he and Poppy are practically inseparable. So far, she's the only person he knows he can always be sure to trust on the journey.
• Donut: The two do not get along due to Donut's unwillingness to trust anyone besides himself, Poppy, and her family or otherwise associates. Only time will tell if Donut will improve.
