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

Physiology

Bellossom is quite different physically from the rest of its evolutionary family, being primarily green in coloration instead of blue, having circular blue eyes instead of dot-like red ones, and having red markings on its cheeks. Bellossom has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves that resemble a skirt, all adding to an appearance of a hula dancer. It may or may not possess feet (a trait shared by Jynx); while performing the "Bel-loop-de-loop" in the episode Flower Power, its center-most leaves bent as it was getting ready to spring, which may suggest that Bellossom do not have "feet" per se but rather leaves that act as substitutes for feet or legs. However, the Pokédex does classify it as a biped. A Bellossom's petals are said to be more beautiful the worse the Gloom it evolved from smelled.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

When they rub the petals on their head together, it creates a pleasing sound.

Behavior

Bellossom are often seen dancing and chanting, resembling cheerleaders, although they're usually not actually cheering for anyone. In particular, Bellossom dances when cloudy weather persists, or when the heavy rainfall season ends and it is drawn out by the warm sunlight.

Habitat

Bellossom live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients.

Pokédex entries

Manga Chapter Entry
Pokémon Adventures PS163 They will sometimes gather and start dancing. It's also known as a ritual dance to worship the sun.*

In the TCG

Main article: Bellossom (TCG)

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's early artwork
  • 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 Flower Pokémon.

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).
