Physiology
Cherubi has a round, deep-pink body with two stubby feet. It has beady eyes, and a purple-red stripe running down part of its face. Cherubi has a short stem with two big, green leaves and a second, much smaller head growing out of it. This second head contains nutrients needed for Cherubi's growth (somewhat similar to Azurill). When Cherubi is about to evolve, the second head starts to wilt.
