Jumpluff Evolutions
Jumpluff is the final form in a three-stage chain from Hoppip through Skiploom. Breeding this form produces Hoppip eggs (average hatch time). Evolving from Hoppip gave Jumpluff the biggest boost in Speed (+60), bringing the total to 450 stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Jumpluff to get Hoppip eggs easily using 27 partners from the Fairy and Grass egg groups. Notable egg moves include Amnesia, Confusion, Double-Edge and 4 more.
E Jumpluff Best Moveset
Jumpluff controls the battlefield through pure speed, with 110 Speed before AbilityChlorophyll doubles it in sun. The moveset fires MoveSleep Powder before anything can respond, follows with MoveLeech Seed for passive damage, and uses MoveEncore to lock opponents into setup moves. Zero offensive power means Jumpluff disrupts rather than damages.
