Breeding a Shroomish...

[end_boss]

I'm trying to breed a Shroomish with an Adamant nature, and I'm trying to figure out if I want one with Effect Spore or Poison Heal. Recommendations appreciated, thanks!

I have no idea how that works. I don't think you can affect the personality, it is all random.

Poison heal. Put a toxic orb on it. Besides it can learn sleep and paralyze moves and sleep cause makes effect spore very awkward.

EDIT: Actualy I suppose it comes down to whether you're playing competitive or in-game? But i don't think you'd be bothering as much about natures if your playing in-game. Anyway in-game either is good but competitive definetly poison heal. Hope this helped .

You gotta basically just keep trying until you get what you want. My question is, which is the better ability?

Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I never knew about the Toxic Orb before, so Poison Heal makes a lot of sense!

As a previous poster said, Toxic Orb. Makes a really good Breloom when combined with Toxic Orb.

Ok, so I've raised a Breloom, now at 49, has a Jolly nature, Poison Heal, most EVs already distributed amongst Attack and Speed (with a handful towards HP and Sp Def).

Current moveset:

Spore
Giga Drain
Sky Uppercut
Seed Bomb

Now that I have the Toxic Orb and Poison Heal, I'm thinking that Giga Drain is kinda sticking out as redundant, but I can't decide what move to relearn or replace it with.

Any suggestions?

I believe this is the reason that google was invented.

When I Google it, I don't really know whose advice I'm getting. Posting on here, I know that quite a few people are passionate about the game, and I just put some more weight and credibility behind any opinions I find here than I would on Google.

I moveset I used for breloom was : Sub, Spore, Focus Punch, Seed bomb/ Stone Edge. Pretty standard but classic for a reason.
