Cherubi has a round, deep-pink body with two stubby feet. It has beady eyes, and a purple-red stripe running down part of its face. Cherubi has a short stem with two big, green leaves and a second, much smaller head growing out of it. This second head is vestigial in terms of function but it contains nutrients that contribute to Cherubi's growth (somewhat similar to Azurill). The second head is apparently edible and several Pokémon have been seen trying to pluck it off. When Cherubi is about to evolve, the second head starts to wilt.
Cherubi gets its nutrients from a variety of sources. Its smaller head serves as its initial source of food, but being a plant, it also uses photosynthesis, and it is attracted to honey.
Cherubi, the Cherry Pokémon. All of the nutrients needed for evolution are contained in its small ball. Cherubi becomes redder as it is exposed to sunlight, and is almost ready to evolve once the smaller ball buds.
Cherubi appears in Pokémon Adventures, in the Diamond & Pearl arc. Gardenia used a Cherubi alongside her Roserade in a Double Battle against Platinum's Prinplup and Ponyta. After Piplup evolved into Prinplup, Cherubi's Grass Knot became more effective against the heavier Pokémon, leaving the Penguin Pokémon in a difficult situation. However, Platinum took advantage of the cover that the knots gave and the holes that Roserade's poison whips created to deliver a finishing Blizzard that defeated both her Pokémon.
As of Generation V, Cherubi is one of the three Pokémon related to a Pokémon with form differences that does not have a form difference itself. The others are Mothim and Darumaka.
