Research Notes - Grookey
Gorilla tympanum
Rillaboom are most closely related to Electivire. As great apes, they are noted for their high intelligence. While these Pokémon are certainly bright in many respects, nowhere is this more clear than when it comes to musical talent. Rillaboom seem to display a deep understanding of the physical property of sound waves, knowing how to modulate pitch and volume by manipulating their technique and equipment. While many Pokémon that rely on sound can also do this, what makes Rillaboom unique is their ability to extend this knowledge to foreign instruments. Though their physiology makes it difficult for them to play such instruments, they have demonstrated an understanding of how string and woodwind instruments work as well, connecting the structure of the devices to their functions in experiments.
Diet |
These Pokémon can in fact subsist entirely on sunlight by photosynthesizing energy through their green fur. In cloudier weather they will also eat fruits, nuts, and Berries to tide them over until the sun begins shining again.

Care |
As photosynthesizing Grass-types, these Pokémon require plenty of sunlight. All evolutions are sociable creatures that do not do well in isolation. Grookey are quick to develop close bond with other Pokémon and may get distressed when friends are traded away. These Pokémon love to make music, so they can be quite loud at times. Urban trainers should look into soundproofing material if noise is an issue, while traveling trainers may find secluded clearings to be an excellent place to practice.

Caution |
These Pokémon are not aggressive, though they can be quite curious when it comes to human travelers--Grookey and Thwackey especially so. All evolutions are fiercely protective of their troops and will swiftly come to the defense of other members in the face of danger. Rillaboom welcome an audience to their performances, but it is taboo to try to harm or catch any of the other wild Pokémon attending; trainers that attempt this may find the entire forest, Rillaboom included, turning on them at once.
