Evolve now or wait
from the game's learnsets and the relearner ruleShroomish evolves at level 23. Evolving then forfeits 4 moves that Shroomish would still learn: Poison Powder at 28, Growth at 36, Giga Drain at 45, Spore at 54. Breloom learns 4 moves of its own after that: Counter at 28, Sky Uppercut at 36, Mind Reader at 45, Dynamic Punch at 54.
| Move you would forfeit | Level | Can you get it back? |
|---|---|---|
| Poison Powder | 28 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Breloom this move is gone. |
| Growth | 36 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Breloom this move is gone. |
| Giga Drain | 45 | Yes: TM19 Giga Drain teaches Breloom. |
| Spore | 54 | No. The Move Relearner only teaches moves from the current form's own level-up list, so once it is Breloom this move is gone. |
Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
