Rillaboom (ゴリランダー Gorirandaa) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII. It is the final form of Grookey.
Biology
Physiology
Rillaboom is a gorilla-like Pokémon with dark brown fur, an orange muzzle, leafy "hair" and a "belt" made of leaves. Its body is mostly dark brown with gray markings on its chest, hands, shoulders, and feet. Its hands and feet are a light gray-brown, with its wrists sporting green leaf-like protrusions. It carries two drumsticks and a wooden drum that it hides in its hair.
When Gigantamaxed, Rillaboom’s tree-stump drum has grown rapidly—to the point that it now resembles a small forest on its own. Gigantamax Rillaboom has merged with this forest of drums and become even more powerful. It can control its sticks as if they were its own limbs, and it will demonstrate transcendental drumming techniques.
Behavior
Rillaboom has a gentle nature and won’t involve itself in trivial fights. However, it is extremely sensitive to any actions that could risk the harmony around it and keeps such actions strictly in check. Rillaboom has a strong sense of solidarity with others, and it will fight ferociously when its allies are in trouble.
Gigantamax Rillaboom will focus completely on playing its drums, compelled by the power welling up inside it. The sound can reach across oceans and be heard by those living in other regions. It’s said that those who hear the beat will begin to dance uncontrollably, overwhelmed by a rhythm that surges up from inside them.
Natural abilities
In battle, Rillaboom unleashes powerful sound waves with its drumming and throws opponents about by controlling the roots of its stump. The skills it honed while it was a Thwackey are put on full display.
Evolution
Rillaboom evolves from Thwackey starting at level 35. It is the final form of Grookey.
