📖 Pokédex entry in English and Japanese
Skiploom’s flower blossoms when the temperature rises above 64 degrees Fahrenheit. How much the flower opens depends on the temperature. For that reason, this Pokémon is sometimes used as a thermometer.ポポッコの花は、気温が華氏64度を超えると咲きます。花の開き具合は気温によって異なります。そのため、このポケモンは温度計として使われることもある。
