Known for its light, fluffy body and small leaves, Hoppip drifts on winds, often traveling in groups. It evolves into Skiploom and then into Jumpluff, a line celebrated for its aerial grace. Hoppip's natural habitat includes open fields and mountainous regions where it can catch the breeze. Its diet consists primarily of sunlight, which it absorbs through its leaves. In the games, Hoppip is often one of the first Grass-type Pokémon trainers encounter, making it a memorable early-game companion. In the anime, Hoppip are frequently depicted as playful and carefree, often seen floating through the sky in large numbers, signaling the arrival of spring. Their presence is a symbol of warmth and new beginnings in the Pokémon world, making them culturally significant as a harbinger of seasonal change. Hoppip's Grass/Flying typing gives it unique matchups, making it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Flying, Rock, and Poison attacks, but resistant to Fighting and Grass.
