Cherrim has two different forms, both of which are dependent on the weather (a trait that is also found in Castform). During normal weather conditions, it appears as two crossing purple petals with a short purple stem, a green leafy sepal covering, and two deep pink feet; its eyes appear to be near its legs in this form. When there is strong sunlight, it appears to have a skirt and "hair" made of pink cherry-blossom petals, radiating outward from a yellow sphere on the back of its head that resembles the center of a flower, along with a small triangular patch of green on its neck. Additionally, two berry-like orbs, resembling cherry-shaped hair ornaments, adorn its head. It has stubby limbs, with the arms being pink and the legs being yellow.
Cherrim, the Blossom Pokémon. Cherrim stays quiet until its flowers bloom when it becomes quite excitable.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, a Cherrim was shown under the possession of Platinum in the Platinum arc. It has not seen much use; not much is known about it because of this.

Cherrim's name is based off the English words cherry and cherubim or blossom. Cherrim might be named after the tree, "cherimoya". Its name may also come from the Irish word tirim, meaning dry weather.
