Read more ↓Oddish is known as the Weed Pokémon, a diminutive Grass/Poison type introduced in Generation I. It is characterized by its deep blue, bulbous body, much like a radish, with two small feet and large, leafy green foliage sprouting from its head. Oddish is primarily nocturnal, spending its days buried underground to absorb nutrients from the soil, leaving only its leaves exposed. At night, it emerges to wander and scatter its seeds. Its natural habitat includes grasslands and forests, often found in areas with rich, moist soil. Oddish is known for its sweet, syrupy sap, which is said to be delicious but also poisonous. It evolves into Gloom at Level 21, and then further into Vileplume with a Leaf Stone, or Bellossom with a Sun Stone, showcasing its unique branching evolution path. In the games, Oddish is a common early-game Grass-type, valuable for its status-inflicting moves. In the anime, it often appears as a shy but resilient Pokémon, notably belonging to Erika, the Celadon City Gym Leader. Its cute design and versatile evolution line have made it a fan favorite, embodying the charm of early Pokémon designs.
