Diet

In the anime
Bellossom first appeared in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure.
Bellossom's first major appearance was in Flower Power. A girl named Bailey had a pair that she wanted 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 The Grass Route.
Bellossom was in a garden that Ash's Bayleef ran off to in Turning Over a New Bayleef.
In Whichever Way the Wind Blows, there was a meadow in which Gloom evolved by collecting sediments of either Leaf Stones or Sun Stones that blew in the wind. The Vileplume and Bellossom were feuding in that area.
Tammy from I Politoed Ya So had some Bellossom in her cheerleading squad.
A Bellossom appeared in DP086.
In the manga
Pokémon Special
As early as Volume 12, Erika owns a group of Bellossom who presumably help her in flower arrangement.
In the TCG

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. 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 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.

- Bellossom is both smaller and lighter than its pre-evolved form Gloom, a trait shared with Porygon2. Bellossom is also smaller than its earliest form, Oddish, and is barely heavier than it.
- Early artwork of Bellossom, made prior to the release of Gold and Silver, shows this Pokémon with a body that is the same color as its shiny form, though that shiny form would not come until Generation III.
- Bellossom shares the same species name with Vileplume and Bellsprout. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
- Bellossom's sprites changed dramatically from Generation II to Generation III. Early sprites showed it having pink and red leaves instead of green in the normal and shiny sprites and pink and red flowers instead of red and pink.
- Bellossom is the only single-typed Pokémon that evolves from a dual-typed Pokémon.
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. It also can come from bella, Spanish for pretty. Its Japanese name is a combination of 奇麗 kirei, pretty, and 花 hana, flower.
In other languages
- German: Blubella - Bellossom's German name is a combination of blume meaning flower and Bella, possibly to reflect its fondness of dancing. It also might come from Bluebell.
- French: Joliflor - The French name seems to be a corruption of pretty flower.
- Korean: 아르코 Areuko
