To keep from being blown away by the wind, they gather in clusters. They do enjoy gentle breezes, though.

Strategy Overview

Though it has an interesting typing and movepool, Hoppip's stats are far too low for it to have any sort of competitive niche. Its awful Attack and average Speed stats cause it to be unable to seriously threaten the opponent with its offensive movepool, while its poor bulk negates any defensive advantages its typing might offer. As a result, Hoppip is not worth including on a competitive team.
