Bellossom is a Grass type Pokemon introduced in Generation II. It evolves from Gloom when exposed to a Sun Stone. It is one of Oddish‘s final forms, the other being Vileplume. Take a look below for 26 fun and fascinating facts about Bellossom.

1. Bellossom is a primarily green Pokemon with circular blue eyes and red markings on its cheeks.

2. It has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves around its waist that resemble a skirt, all adding to the appearance of a hula dancer.

3. Bellossom’s petals are said to be more beautiful the worse the Gloom it evolved from smelled.

4. When it rubs the petals on its head together, it creates a pleasing sound.

5. Bellossom does not possess feet; in the anime, its center-most leaves bent as it was getting ready to spring, suggesting that it uses its leaves as substitutes for feet or legs. However, the Pokédex does classify it as a biped.

6. Bellossom is often seen dancing and chanting.

7. In particular, Bellossom dances when cloudy weather persists, or when the heavy rainfall season ends and it is drawn out by the warm sunlight.
