GloomUndaunted #27 Pokémon Card

Gloom, the Weed Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison type known for its distinctive pungent odor and perpetually drooling mouth. First introduced in Generation I, Gloom evolves from Oddish at level 21 and further evolves into Vileplume with a Leaf Stone or Bellossom with a Sun Stone, showcasing its unique branching evolution path. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its foul-smelling nectar, which can attract or repel depending on the individual. In the wild, Gloom can be found in lush forests and grasslands, often sleeping during the day and becoming active at night. Its diet primarily consists of nutrients absorbed from the soil and sunlight. Despite its unappealing scent, Gloom plays a vital role in its ecosystem, sometimes even attracting other Pokémon with its sweet-smelling honey-like drool, which is actually a potent toxin. Gloom has made appearances in the Pokémon anime, often depicted as a somewhat clumsy or sleepy Pokémon, further cementing its endearing if sometimes malodorous, personality in the cultural consciousness of the franchise. Its dual typing offers interesting matchups, being strong against Water, Ground, and Rock types, but vulnerable to Fire, Psychic, Flying, and Ice attacks.
