OddishUnseen Forces #64 Pokémon Card

Oddish, the Weed Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison-type creature introduced in Generation I. It is famous for its distinctive appearance, resembling a blue plant bulb with two small feet and a crown of green leaves. Oddish is primarily nocturnal, burying itself in the ground during the day to avoid detection and absorb nutrients from the soil using its root-like feet. At night, it emerges to wander and scatter its seeds. Its natural habitat includes grasslands and forests, where it thrives in rich, fertile soil. Oddish evolves into Gloom starting at level 21, which then has a branched evolution into Vileplume (using a Leaf Stone) or Bellossom (using a Sun Stone). In the games, Oddish is a common early-game Pokémon for trainers exploring Kanto and Johto, valued for its dual typing which offers both offensive and defensive utility. In the anime, Oddish often appears as a shy but resourceful Pokémon, famously owned by Erika, the Celadon City Gym Leader. Its cute design and simple yet effective abilities have made it a beloved classic among fans, symbolizing the early charm of the Pokémon world.
