      The following chart shows Skiploom's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Skiploom's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.

      Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Skiploom has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      ⚔️ Raids – With no changes to its moveset from its pre-evolution Hoppip, Skiploom only brings a Grass-type moveset into Raid battles. There are countless other Grass-type Pokémon that perform far better and are much wiser investments, especially the Grass-type starters and their evolutions.

      🛡️ GymsSkiploom has no real place defending Gyms, even with Defense and Stamina as its best stats!

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little LeagueSkiploom finds itself in an awkward position where it performs worse than its pre-evolution. Since Hoppip requires powering up to a higher level, its Attack stat can be put to better use in the Little League. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Skiploom, so we recommend not evolving it for PvP.

      🔵 Great LeagueSkiploom maxes out at 1103 CP, which is far too low to make it a viable choice for the Great League.

      🟡 Ultra League – Did you know the flower on Skiploom’s head closes in cold regions, meaning it needs to float to warmer climates to photosynthesize? This fun fact has nothing to do with PvP, but Skiploom has no use here either.

      🟣 Master League – Definitely not a place for Skiploom, unless you’re looking for a one-hit knockout (OHKO).
