Bellossom (Japanese: キレイハナ Kireihana) is a Grass-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Gloom when exposed to a Sun Stone. It is one of Oddish's final forms, the other being Vileplume.
Biology
Bellossom is a primarily green Pokémon with circular blue eyes and red markings on its cheeks. It has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves that resemble a skirt, all adding to the appearance of a hula dancer. Bellossom's petals are said to be more beautiful the worse the Gloom it evolved from smelled. When it rubs the petals on its head together, it creates a pleasing sound. It may or may not possess feet; in the anime, its center-most leaves bent as it was getting ready to spring. This may suggest that Bellossom do not have feet, but rather leaves that act as substitutes for feet or legs. However, the Pokédex does classify it as a biped.
Bellossom is often seen dancing and chanting. In particular, Bellossom dances when cloudy weather persists, or when the heavy rainfall season ends and it is drawn out by the warm sunlight. It lives in grassy plains. It can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients.
In the anime

Bellossom's first major appearance was in Flower Power. A girl named Bailey had a pair that she wanted to be able to a dance, but one of them was having trouble with the somersault that the dance required.
In Whichever Way the Wind Blows, there was a meadow in which Gloom evolved by collecting sediments of either Leaf Stones or Sun Stones that blew in the wind. The Vileplume and Bellossom were feuding in that area.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
When released from a Poké Ball, Bellossom will use its Sweet Scent to put any nearby opponents into a deep sleep. As Bellossom stays on-screen for longer than most Pokémon, this gives the thrower time to power up a smash move. It is also available as a trophy.
Trophy information
From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a Sun Stone.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Bellossom makes a return appearance in Brawl, once again using its Sleep Powder to put opponents to sleep and leave them vulnerable to attacks.
Trophy Information
"A Flower Pokémon. After spells of cloudy weather, Bellossom will gather to call out the sun by performing a dance. When exposed long enough to the sun, the leaves on its body will spin around. A Bellossom's Speed is also known to increase with sun exposure. Its main specialty is poison attacks. Also, Bellossom will close its flowers when sleeping."

Trivia
- Bellossom is the shortest fully-evolved Pokémon at 1'04".
- In its Gold and Silver artwork, and artwork made earlier, Bellossom's body is shown with a blue color instead of its usual green. This color is similar to that of its evolutionary relatives and its Shiny color in Generation II.
- Bellossom is the only single-type Pokémon that evolves from a dual-type Pokémon (thus the only Pokémon which loses its secondary type upon evolution).
- Bellossom shares the same species name with Vileplume and Bellsprout. They are all known as the Flower Pokémon.
- In Generation II, Bellossom could not learn Sludge Bomb from TM36, despite its pre-evolutions being able to do so. This was fixed starting in Generation III. The only other Pokémon to lose the ability to learn a TM upon evolution is Cinccino, which lost its ability to learn Thief from TM46 in Black and White. This was fixed in Black 2 and White 2.
Origin
Bellossom may be based on a rafflesia keithii and a hula dancer. Judging from its body structure and Pokédex entries, it may also be based on a bell.
Name origin
Bellossom is a combination of bella or belle (Spanish and French for pretty) and blossom. It may also involve bell.
Kireihana is a combination of 綺麗 kirei (pretty) and 花 hana (flower). It may also involve 鈴 rei (bell).
