Pokédex entries

Gold The bloom on top of its head opens and closes as the temperature fluctuates up and down.

Crystal As soon as it rains, it closes its flower and hides in the shade of a tree to avoid getting wet.
Ruby
Sapphire
SKIPLOOM’s flower blossoms when the temperature rises above 64 degrees F. How much the flower opens depends on the temperature. For that reason, this POKéMON is sometimes used as a thermometer.
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.

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.
