==Biology==
  +
===Physiology===
  +
Whimsicott is a small bipedal Pokémon that resembles a ball of cotton. Its body is brown, and its back, neck, and forehead are covered with a puffy white cotton-like substance. On its back is a green, star-shaped pattern that resembles the area where a plant connects to its fruit. It has large ovular orange eyes, a grinning face, and green curled horn-like appendages that seem to be its ears.
  +
  +
===Behavior===
  +
Whimsicott is a notorious trickster and a very mischievous Pokémon. It will sneak into houses by slipping through the smallest gaps, and will cause mischief by moving furniture and leaving balls of cotton behind. Despite their fondness for trickery, however, Whimsicott rarely ever mean to intentionally cause harm; in fact, they will actively intervene in their own pranks if they believe that someone will be hurt.
  +
  +
Whimsicott will constantly grow more cotton as long as they remain exposed to sunlight, and thus must groom themselves regularly by pruning off the excess and scattering it to the wind.
  +
  +
===Natural abilities===
  +
Whimsicott can ride whirlwinds and drift along in the air. It is able to slip through very narrow gaps in order to sneak into houses and cause mischief.
   
 
==Evolution==
 
==Evolution==
'''Whimiscott''' is the [[Evolution|evolved]] form of [[Cottonee]], evolving through the use of a [[Sun Stone]].

Whimsicott (Japanese: エルフーン, HepburnErufuun) (WHIM-zih-kot[1]) is a Grass/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is Lilligant's counterpart. It was a Grass type prior to Generation VI.

Biology

Physiology

Whimsicott is a small bipedal Pokémon that resembles a ball of cotton. Its body is brown, and its back, neck, and forehead are covered with a puffy white cotton-like substance. On its back is a green, star-shaped pattern that resembles the area where a plant connects to its fruit. It has large ovular orange eyes, a grinning face, and green curled horn-like appendages that seem to be its ears.

Behavior

Whimsicott is a notorious trickster and a very mischievous Pokémon. It will sneak into houses by slipping through the smallest gaps, and will cause mischief by moving furniture and leaving balls of cotton behind. Despite their fondness for trickery, however, Whimsicott rarely ever mean to intentionally cause harm; in fact, they will actively intervene in their own pranks if they believe that someone will be hurt.

Whimsicott will constantly grow more cotton as long as they remain exposed to sunlight, and thus must groom themselves regularly by pruning off the excess and scattering it to the wind.

Natural abilities

Whimsicott can ride whirlwinds and drift along in the air. It is able to slip through very narrow gaps in order to sneak into houses and cause mischief.

Evolution

Whimiscott is the evolved form of Cottonee, evolving through the use of a Sun Stone.
