Biology
Rillaboom is a bipedal, ape-like Pokémon. Its body is mostly mud-brown in
coloration, including its face and body, as well as its thick arms and legs. Its
face has an orange mouth, with a dark brown nose. This dark brown coloration is
also seen on its triangular ears, as well as under its eyes, which themselves have
orange irises and white pupils. Its forehead is a light tan color, as well as its
chest, abs, hands, and feet. It also has a bow-shaped mark of the same color on
each shoulder. Rillaboom also has leaves protruding from its head, creating a thick
bush of hair on its head, with a single vine that falls from its forehead like a
strand of hair. It also has a belt and cuffs made of leaves. Rillaboom always
carries its signature drum with it on its back, and pulls it out when engaged in
battle. This bass drum is crafted from a tree stump, with several thick branch
stumps protruding from it, which form both the legs of the bass drum as well as mid
and high toms.

By drumming, Rillaboom can tap into the power of its special tree stump. The roots
of the stump follow the direction of drumming in battle. A Rillaboom with the best
drumming technique can become the leader of its troop. Due to its kind disposition,
it values harmony within the group. Rillaboom is very sensitive towards discord
that could threaten the group's harmony, so it keeps a strict watch for such
actions. Due to its strong sense of unity, it will ferociously defend its allies
from trouble.[1]

As Gigantamax Rillaboom, its upper body has been fused with its enlarged tree-stump
drum. The stump has changed to resemble a full drum kit. The leaves expands to
become four arms, each holding a drum stick while its single vine stands up and
curls at the tip. Three red clouds float above it.

Rillaboom, as a result of Gigantamaxing, has become more powerful due to fusing

with the drum. It can control the sticks of the drum to perform transcendental
drumming techniques. It is compelled to drum due to its power building up from
inside. The sounds it makes can reach across oceans and other regions. Those who
hear the beat will start to dance uncontrollably.[2]

Rillaboom is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move Drum Beating and
exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Drum Solo.

Trivia
Rillaboom has the highest base Attack stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
Origin
Rillaboom may be based on a gorilla with elements from drummers, most notably Taiko
drummers. Its behavior may reference the fact that gorillas make drumming sounds by
beating their chests to show social dominance. It may also take inspiration from
the belief that music stimulates plant growth.

Rillaboom's Gigantamax form seems to draw inspiration from modern rock drummers.

Name origin
Rillaboom may be a combination of gorilla and boom.

Gorirander may be a combination of gorilla and 乱打 randa (battering).
