GloomLegends Awakened #96 Pokémon Card

Gloom, the Weed Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison type first introduced in Generation I of the Pokémon franchise. It evolves from Oddish at Level 21 and further evolves into either Vileplume when exposed to a Leaf Stone or Bellossom when exposed to a Sun Stone, making it one of the earliest Pokémon with a branching evolution path. Gloom is known for its unpleasant odor, which is said to be so potent that it can cause fainting, though some brave individuals find the smell appealing. It typically inhabits grassy areas and forests, often found in humid environments where its petals can thrive. In the games, Gloom's evolution into Vileplume or Bellossom offers strategic choices for trainers, providing different stat distributions and move pools. In the anime, Gloom has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its signature stench and its role in the ecosystem. Its dual typing gives it resistances to Grass, Electric, Fighting, and Fairy types, but also makes it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Flying, Psychic, and Rock types. Gloom's unique characteristics and evolutionary flexibility have made it a memorable part of the Pokémon world since its debut.
