Read more ↓Gloom, the Weed Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison type first introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Oddish at level 21 and then evolves into either Vileplume when exposed to a Leaf Stone or Bellossom when exposed to a Sun Stone. Gloom is known for the foul-smelling liquid that drips from its mouth, which it uses to attract prey and deter predators. Despite its unpleasant odor, some people find the scent appealing, likening it to a potent perfume. Gloom typically inhabits forests and grasslands, often found alongside its pre-evolution, Oddish. In the anime, Gloom has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its distinct aroma and evolution potential. Its dual typing gives it a unique set of strengths and weaknesses, making it a versatile Pokémon in battles. The evolution into two distinct forms, Vileplume and Bellossom, adds to its strategic depth and appeal in the games, allowing trainers to choose between a more offensive or defensive approach depending on their team composition. Gloom's design, with its large, drooping petals and perpetually drowsy expression, captures its essence as a plant-based Pokémon with a somewhat melancholic demeanor.
