Biology
Jumpluff is a dandelion-like Pokémon and the evolution of Skiploom. It is round and blue, possessing limbs of cotton spores on its head and sides. Hoppip and its evolutionary line are able to be blown away and carried over large distances by strong winds.
When being carried by seasonal winds, Jumpluff scatter these spores across the globe, which can cause itchiness and coughing if inhaled. If the spores run out, the Jumpluff's life will end.
Design & origin
Jumpluff's name is a combination of "jump" and "fluff". The Hoppip line is meant to demonstrate how pollen and seeds spread via the air, and is based on the stages of a dandelion: Hoppip resembling the leaves, Skiploom resembling the flower and Jumpluff resembling the seedheads.
The line's names were partially created by English translator Nob Ogasawara, with the first half of their names being a reference to the idiom "hop, skip, and a jump".
