Type: Grass

Abilities:

Physical Characteristics:

Rillaboom is a large, gorilla-like Pokémon with a strong, muscular build.
It has a thick mane of green hair that cascades down its back.
Its body is mostly brown with green markings and accents on its arms and forehead.
Rillaboom carries a wooden drum made from a tree stump, which it uses in battle.

Behavior and Habitat:

Rillaboom tends to inhabit dense forests and jungles, where it can blend into the lush foliage.
It is known for its leadership qualities and often takes charge of groups of Pokémon in its habitat.
This Pokémon has a deep spiritual connection with the forest, which it expresses through the rhythmic beats of its drum.

In Battle:

Rillaboom is known for its physical prowess and high Attack stat.
Its signature move, Drum Beating, is a powerful Grass-type attack that also lowers the target's Speed.
Rillaboom performs well against Water, Ground, and Rock types but struggles against Fire, Flying, Poison, Bug, and Ice types.
It often utilizes Grassy Glide for priority in Grassy Terrain, making it a formidable opponent.

Evolution:

Rillaboom evolves from Thwackey starting at level 35.
Thwackey is the evolution of Grookey, which is the initial form obtained as a starter Pokémon in the Galar region.

Interesting Facts:

Rillaboom is known for its drumming skills, which are said to be so powerful they can control the very rhythm of the forest.
The drum it carries is believed to be an extension of its own body, created by Rillaboom from a tree using its Grass-type energy.
In competitive battles, Rillaboom with the Grassy Surge ability has become a popular choice due to its ability to set up Grassy Terrain, which synergizes well with its moveset.
Its design is inspired by both gorillas and drummers, reflecting its role as a leader and performer in its natural habitat.
