Read more ↓Gloom, the Weed Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison-type creature introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Oddish and evolves into either Vileplume (using a Leaf Stone) or Bellossom (using a Sun Stone). Gloom is known for its perpetually drooling nectar and the notoriously foul odor it emits from its pistils, which can cause fainting from a distance. Despite its unpleasant smell, Gloom plays a significant role in the Kanto and Johto regions, often found in grassy areas and forests. In the games, Gloom's evolution choice offers strategic depth, allowing trainers to specialize in either a potent Grass/Poison attacker or a pure Grass-type with different abilities. Its appearance in the anime, particularly alongside Erika, the Celadon City Gym Leader, cemented its place in the hearts of many early Pokémon fans. Gloom's unique blend of charming design and distinctive, albeit pungent, characteristics makes it a memorable part of the Pokémon universe, embodying the diverse and sometimes quirky nature of its world.
