Skiploom, The Cottonweed Pokémon. The bloom on top of it's head opens and closes depending on the temperature. It spreads it's petals to absorb Sunlight and floats to get closer and therefore more sunlight. As soon as it rains, it closes it's flower and hides in the shade of a tree to avoid it. It's flower blossoms when the temperature hits 64 Degrees. The amount opening depends on the temperature, because of this...it is used sometimes as a thermometer.
Battle Moveset
A Good Moveset for Skiploom would have to be this:
Attacks:
Leech Seed
Substitute
Stun Spore
Sleep Powder
Items Attached:
Leftovers
Preferred Nature:
Timid
Strategy Using Skiploom
I was a little reluctant to pick Stun spore and sleep powder, but knowning that Skiplooms attack and special attack are quite poor, direct attacking is not the best option. So, Sleep powder, which might cause your opponent to switch if it hits and then use either stun spore or sleep powder on the next pokemon.
If your opponent doesn't switch, Substitute and Leech seed will help reduce your opponents pokemon hp. This set is designed to work with Skiplooms speed, which isnt too bad. Beware of Skiplooms 4x weakness to ice, the chances of this pokemon surviving an ice attack is slim.
EV Corner:
Max out the EVs in Speed for Skiploom with any remaining in Special Defense & Defense
Strategy Against Skiploom
Skiplooms Defenses are a bit dodgy, so if you have no Super Effective attacks, pummel him with Physical Attacks
