Pokédex Entries

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."
Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl "It blooms when the weather warms. It floats in the sky to soak up as much sunlight as possible."
X "The bloom on top of its head opens and closes as the temperature fluctuates up and down." Y "It spreads its petals to absorb sunlight. It also floats in the air to get closer to the sun."
Alpha Sapphire Omega Ruby "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."
Black White "It blooms when the weather warms. It floats in the sky to soak up as much sunlight as possible."
Black 2 White 2 "It blooms when the weather warms. It floats in the sky to soak up as much sunlight as possible."
Diamond Pearl "It blooms when the weather warms. It floats in the sky to soak up as much sunlight as possible."
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." SoulSilver "It spreads its petals to absorb sunlight. It also floats in the air to get closer to the sun."

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."
Gold "The bloom on top of its head opens and closes as the temperature fluc tuates up and down." Silver "It spreads its petals to absorb sunlight. It also floats in the air to get closer to the sun."
Crystal "As soon as it rains, it closes its flower and hides in the shade of a tree to avoid getting wet."
