HoppipNeo Genesis #61 Pokémon Card

Hoppip is a charming Grass/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, making its debut in the Johto region games, Pokémon Gold and Silver. Known as the Cottonweed Pokémon, Hoppip is characterized by its light, airy body and the leafy propellers on its head, which allow it to drift effortlessly on the wind. These Pokémon are often found in open fields and meadows, where they can catch gentle breezes to travel from place to place. Their diet primarily consists of sunlight, which they absorb through their leaves, and occasional sips of dew. Hoppip are social creatures, often gathering in clusters to avoid being blown away by strong gusts of wind, a behavior that highlights their delicate nature. They evolve into Skiploom starting at level 18, and then into Jumpluff starting at level 27. In the games, Hoppip is often an early-game encounter, providing players with a versatile Grass/Flying type. In the anime, Hoppip are frequently depicted in large groups, showcasing their communal lifestyle and their reliance on the wind for movement. Their adorable appearance and unique method of travel have made them a beloved staple in the Pokémon universe, symbolizing the gentle and serene aspects of nature.
