Hoppip <sup>(JPJapanese: ハネッコ

Romaji: Hanecco)</sup> is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Grass/Flying Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver.

Physiology and Behaviour

Hoppip is a round, pink Pokémon with long green leaves growing on top of its head. The leaves on its head have ragged edges, similar to a dandelion. It has big, triangular ears with dark insides and beady yellow eyes that lack pupils. Its arms and legs are stubby, and it has a short tail with a rounded tip. There is a circular yellow pad on the underside of each foot.

Hoppip's body is very light, and it is easily lifted off the ground by winds and will drift in the air. Hoppip can sense approaching strong winds. In order to avoid being blown away, it clusters and links leaves with other Hoppip or grips the ground firmly with its feet. However, it enjoys gentle breezes. Hoppip lives in temperate grasslands, although some also drift through fields, mountains, and even urban environments.

Appearances

Super Smash Bros. series

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Hoppip appears as a background element in the stage, Pokémon Stadium 2, drifting with the Flying Terrain alongside Skarmory and Drifloon.

Trophy descriptions

"A Cottonweed Pokémon. Its adorable appearance has captured the hearts of many fans. It's 1'04" in height, which is the same as Pikachu, but it's incredibly light, weighing only 1.1 pounds. Because it's so light, it often huddles with other Hoppip to keep itself from being blown away by strong winds. It evolves into Skiploom."
