Oddish (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

==Biology==

Oddish is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a blue {{wp|bulb|plant bulb}} or a {{wp|root vegetable}}. It has a round body, beady red eyes, a small mouth, and ovoid feet. Five large, green leaves sprout from its head. As demonstrated in [[EP137|the anime]], these leaves are prehensile and can be used to scale vertical surfaces and catch light objects. Known by the scientific name ''Oddium Wanderus'', Oddish lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Evolution===

Oddish evolves into {{p|Gloom}}, which evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} or {{p|Bellossom}}.

==Trivia==

* There is a recurring gag in the [[anime]] where when {{Ash}} hears rustling in a bush, he looks in it and finds an Oddish.
