It is the evolved form of Oddish and can further evolve into either Vileplume or Bellossom, depending on the evolutionary stone used. Known as the Weed Pokémon, Gloom is characterized by its perpetually sleepy expression and the foul-smelling nectar that drips from its mouth. This nectar, while repulsive to most, is said to attract certain insect Pokémon, and in some regions, a rare few individuals actually enjoy its pungent odor. Gloom typically inhabits grasslands and forests, often found in damp, shaded areas where moisture is abundant. Its behavior is generally lethargic, spending much of its time sleeping or moving slowly, conserving energy. In the Pokémon games and anime, Gloom is often depicted as a somewhat dim-witted but capable Pokémon, utilizing its potent odors and sleep-inducing abilities in battle. Its dual typing gives it a unique set of strengths and weaknesses, making it a versatile choice for trainers. Culturally, Gloom is often seen as a symbol of pungent natural aromas, a creature that challenges perceptions of beauty and appeal with its unique charm.
