OddishTeam Rocket #63 Pokémon Card

Oddish is a charming Grass/Poison-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I, delighting trainers with its whimsical appearance and unique nocturnal habits. Known as the "Weed Pokémon," Oddish spends its days buried in the soil, absorbing moonlight and nutrients, only to emerge at night to wander and sow seeds. This behavior is crucial for its evolution, as it requires specific conditions to transform. Oddish evolves into Gloom, which then has a branched evolution, either into Vileplume with a Leaf Stone or Bellossom with a Sun Stone, showcasing its versatility within the Grass-type family. Its design, reminiscent of a radish or onion with a leafy top, has made it a memorable character from the Kanto region. In the games, Oddish is often found in grassy areas, and its dual typing gives it an interesting set of resistances and weaknesses, making it a strategic choice for many teams. In the anime, Oddish often appears as a shy but resourceful Pokémon, sometimes seen in large groups, further cementing its gentle nature and close ties to its natural environment. Its simple yet effective design has contributed to its enduring popularity and cultural significance as a classic Grass-type Pokémon.
