It is the evolved form of Oddish and can further evolve into Vileplume or Bellossom, depending on the evolutionary stone used. Gloom is known for its distinctive, perpetually drooling mouth and the pungent, honey-like fluid it secretes, which is said to smell either sweet or utterly foul depending on the individual's preference. This unique characteristic is often highlighted in its Pokédex entries, describing how the scent can paralyze foes or attract prey. Gloom typically inhabits grasslands and forests, often found in damp areas where Oddish thrive. In the anime, Gloom has appeared in various episodes, showcasing its sleepy demeanor and the surprising power hidden within its seemingly sluggish form. Its dual typing offers an interesting strategic dynamic in the games, making it resistant to certain types while vulnerable to others. Its evolution line represents a classic branching path, a staple of early Pokémon game design, and it holds a nostalgic place for many long-time fans of the franchise.
