Cherrim (Japanese: チェリム Cherrim) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Cherubi starting at level 25.

Cherrim changes appearance in sunny weather.

Biology

Physiology

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, with a small triangular patch of green on its neck. Additionally, two berry-like orbs, resembling cherry-shaped hair ornaments, adorn its head.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Cherubi, like many other Template:Type2s, can utilize the sun in order to use moves like Synthesis and SolarBeam and activate its ability to raise Attack and Special Defense. Cherrim is also able to learn seed-based moves like Leech Seed and Worry Seed, with supporting moves such as Growth, Helping Hand, Lucky Chant.

Behavior

Cherrim is said to release all of its pent up anger when it opens. Because of this, it is continuously happy until it closes again.
