Crystal | As soon as it rains, it closes its flower and hides in the shade of a tree to avoid getting wet. |
Ruby Sapphire |
SKIPLOOM’s flower blossoms when the temperature rises above 64 degrees F. How much the flower opens depends on the temperature. For that reason, this POKéMON is sometimes used as a thermometer. |
FireRed | It spreads its petals to absorb sunlight. It also floats in the air to get closer to the sun. |
LeafGreen | The bloom on top of its head opens and closes as the temperature fluctuates up and down. |
Emerald | It blossoms when the temperature rises above 64 degrees F. Because its flower’s blooming changes with the temperature, it is sometimes used as a thermometer. |
Diamond Pearl Platinum |
It blooms when the weather warms. It floats in the sky to soak up as much sunlight as possible. |
HeartGold | The bloom on top of its head opens and closes as the temperature fluctuates up and down. |

Scarlet | Skiploom enthusiasts can apparently tell where a Skiploom was born by the scent drifting from the flower on the Pokémon’s head. |
Violet | When the weather grows cold, Skiploom’s flower closes and the Pokémon cannot photosynthesize, so it flies away to warmer regions. |
