GLOOM

This is the next Pokemon on my daughter’s “To Do” list that she gave me.  This is mostly made up of original generation Pokemon.  I guess this is because they mostly make up the Pokemon that you can get in PokemonGo, which my daughter is obsessed with.  Here is the pattern that I came up with for Gloom.  The pattern includes the color list for both Gloom and Shiny Gloom.
