Cherubi (Japanese: チェリンボ Cherinbo) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Cherrim starting at level 25.

Biology

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 is vestigial in terms of function but it contains nutrients that contribute to Cherubi's growth (somewhat similar to Azurill). The second head is apparently edible and several Pokémon have been seen trying to pluck it off. When Cherubi is about to evolve, the second head starts to wilt.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Cherubi, like many other Grass-types, can utilize the sun in order to use moves like Synthesis and SolarBeam, as well as to become faster in sunlight. Cherubi is also able to learn seed-based moves like Leech Seed and Worry Seed, with supporting moves such as Growth, Helping Hand, Lucky Chant.
