In the anime

Bellossom first appeared in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure.

Bellossom's first major appearance was in EP122. A girl had a pair that she want to be able to a dance, but one of them was having trouble with the somersault that the dance required.

A Bellossom was also used in a Grass-typed battle in EP178.

Bellossom was in a garden that Ash's Bayleef ran off to in EP200

In EP239, there was a meadow in which Glooms evolved by collecting sediments of either Leaf Stones or Sun Stones that blew in the wind. The Vileplumes and Bellossoms were feuding in that area.

Tammy from EP249 had some Bellossom in her cheerleading squad.

In the TCG

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Bellossom will use its Sleep Powder 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 avalible 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.

Bellosom gather at times and appear to dance. They say that the dance is a ritual to summon the sun.

Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed

Plentiful in the tropics. When it dances, its petals rub together and make a pleasant ringing sound.

Pokémon Crystal

When these dance together, their petals rub against each other, making pretty, relaxing sounds.

Pokémon Ruby

When Bellosom get exposed to plenty of sunlight, the leaves ringing its body begin to spin around. This Pokémon's dancing is renowned in southern lands.

Pokémon Sapphire

A Bellosom grows flowers more beautifully if it evolves from a smelly Gloom- the stinkier the better. At night, this Pokémon closes its petals and goes to sleep.

Pokémon Emerald

Its flower petals deepen in color through exposure to sunlight. When cloudy weather persists, it does a dance that is thought to be a ritual for summoning the sun.

Trivia

Origin

Bellossom may be based on a hula dancer.

Name origin

Bellossom's name is a combination of bell, referring to the fact that the petals of its skirt make ringing noises, and blossom. Its Japanese name is a combination of 奇麗 kirei, pretty, and 花 hana, flower. Bellossom's German name looks like a corruption of blue bell, which is ironic due to the fact that Bellossom is normally green. The French name seems to be a corruption of pretty flower.
