==Question==
Err... This might be an obvious question but what does pilose mean? [[User:GlalieGuy|Glalie lv. X 160HP EX Sheer Cold, Heavy Bizzard, δ species (guy)]]
:The source of the answer is certainly obvious...
:It means "covered in distinct hairs". --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 19:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Here's my question. HOW THE HECK IS THAT OBVIOUS?!?!?!?![[User:Ukira Grace 611|'''''Ukira''''']][[User talk:Ukira Grace 611|'''''Grace''''']][[Special:Contributions/Ukira Grace 611|'''''611''''']] 03:31, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
::It ain't.--[[User:Tmwps|Thomas Michael William Patrick Sales]] 10:04, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

==Problem==
If Piloswine is supposed to evolve into Mamoswine with Ancientpower, how can it? It doesn't say what level Piloswine learns Ancientpower! '''[[User:Pachirisulover12|PL]][[User talk:Pachirisulover12|12]]''' 12:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
:You have to use the move tutor of the move rediscoverer guy. I don't remember his name. Or is that the move tutor? Well anyway that's how it has to be done.--[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 18:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::Move relearner! This has already been discussed on a User's talkpage--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 19:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:::It can also learn the move by egg.--[[User:Tmwps|Tmwps]] 09:04, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

== Sprite ==
Has both Piloswine and Swinub gone darker from DP to Platinum???--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 08:50, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

It looks like it has.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 18:16, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

==Three [[One-hit knockout move|one hit knockout moves]]==

Here's a question. Surely if it can learn [[Icy Wind (move)|Icy Wind]], surely it should easily be able to learn [[Sheer Cold (move)|Sheer Cold]]? And because of it's Ground type, it should learn [[Fissure (move)|Fissure]]? And considering that it can learn [[Horn Attack (move)|Horn Attack]], it should also be able to learn [[Horn Drill (move)|Horn Drill]]? Surely that would make it the Pokémon able to learn the most [[One-hit knockout moves]] tied with [[Lapras (Pokémon)|Lapras]]?--[[User:Tmwps|Tmwps]] 09:04, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
:It just doesn't work that way. The moves listed on the page, and the subpages for Gens II-III are all the moves it can learn. For some reason we have to abide by what's coded into the games, not what we think would make sense :D — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 09:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

== Ice Fang? ==

I think this is an error. Piloswine can't learn Ice Fang at level 28 because it can't exist until level 33. Swinub learns Ice Shard at level 28 though, but not Ice Fang. {{unsigned|MegaNerd18}}
:Nah, it's not an error...Everything exists if you can haxx it in with like an AR or GameShark. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 04:02, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

::No, that's no error. It's really like that. Do be aware that all level-up compatability is taken from the actual game code; if the game code had said Ice Shard, it would have never read Ice Fang to begin with. {{unsigned|Shiningpikablu252}}

::Just for the record, if one were to use the Pomeg glitch to transfer a level 5 Piloswine over to Generation IV and then levelled it up to level 28, it would indeed learn Ice Fang normally. (The same would hold true if it were to evolve into Mamoswine in the interim; the Pomeg glitch makes a level 6 Mamoswine possible.) And there's always the move relearner for these kind of things. {{unsigned|Shiningpikablu252}}}

==Trivia==

As well as saying that Pryce's pilloswine gets affected by pikachu's thunderbolt, could you also say something about Pachurisu's spark affecting Piloswine (A Breed Stampede). Also with Dawn's Mamoswine getting effected by spark and charge beam from Plusle and Minun (DP 162 [i think]) [[User:Chomi|Chomi]] 13:29, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

== Romanization ==

Isn't it Inomuu? I understand that most Americans would spell it that way, but since the pronunciation is the same, why Americanize it? ----[[User:Sparen|Sparen]] ''([[User talk:Sparen|talk]])'' 22:38, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
:Pokémon names are trademarked as Romanizations in Japan. These trademarked romanizations are in turn the names which appear on various consumer products such as figurines or plushies. So the correct romanization of a name might not always be the most standard way of romanizing a Japanese word, but it's the one The Pokémon Company uses. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 23:59, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

== Egg move error? ==

So I was telling one of my friends how you could teach Piloswine Ancientpower even in Gen 2. I wanted to look up the exact method, and the page said it's an egg move, and it can only be passed down by a Dunsparce. Then I got curious how Dunsparce could learn it, and it turns out it's an Egg Move even for him, and it could only be CHAIN BRED. So after a little bit of research, I found out that the real way Piloswine can learn it by breeding is by having a Kabuto, Kabutops, Omastar, Omanyte, or Corsola learn it, then breed it into Wooper, and then breed it into Swinub. Or you can do it with Smeargle.
So the page should say that it could be chain bred through Wooper/Quagsire, or be simply bred using Smeargle. [[User:Krisi|Krisi]] ([[User talk:Krisi|talk]]) 22:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
:It is not an error. If you look at the top of the table, it says Generation V, not Generation II. For Piloswine's Generation II learnset, see [[Piloswine (Pokémon)/Generation II learnset]]. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 23:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
::I did look at the Gen II table. I guess it has been corrected since. [[User:Krisi|Krisi]] ([[User talk:Krisi|talk]]) 01:00, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
:::Yeah, actually, the history of that page says that it has been modified about 20 minutes after I posted this. [[User:Krisi|Krisi]] ([[User talk:Krisi|talk]]) 01:02, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

== Piloswine refers to the Pliocene period? ==

"Pilo may also refer to the Pliocene period, the time period when the arctic ice cap—or pillow—formed, referring to the Pokémon's puffy appearance."

uh, that seems like a stretch, plus Pilo is P.I.L.O not P.L.I.O the I and L are switched. Unless its a corruption maybe? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 03:14, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:It is absolutely an enormous stretch; lots of things happened in the Pliocene, not just the ice cap forming, and picking out an uncommon term for ice caps to justify the assertion is just idiotic. I'll remove it. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:19, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
::Ok, thanks. I was about to remove it before I thought it best to bring the issues up first on the talk page just to be safe. I know people get touchy when it comes to the name origin of Pokémon. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 03:28, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

== PECKING PILOSWINE ==

Possible trivia addition: Piloswine('s line) is the only evolutionary line that has access to the move peck--actually learning the move on its own†--which at no evolutionary stage is either avian (hence beak) or possessing an obvious horn/spike on the head to use for this attack. (Presumably this is done using the tusks? Maybe?) In fact, with the sole exception of Maractus, (whose general spikiness manifests in its movepool elsewhere, if the headspike doesn't) all the other non-avian pokemon with access to peck also have access to some other "horn" move--horn attack‡, megahorn, or horn drill--meaning that their horn is acknowledged elsewhere in their movepool as a thing they attack with.

†you have to use the move rememberer to get at it legally, yes, but that works on the premise that it learned the move on its own and then forgot it. I'm making a distinction here between egg moves, move tutors and tm/hm moves as opposed to moves that are part of the base movepool. If you were to somehow catch a level 1 piloswine in gen IV, IT WOULD KNOW PECK.

‡Interestingly, in gen III, Piloswine learned ''horn attack'' instead of peck, but in later generations it has peck instead, with no way to teach it horn attack. That means that between gens III and IV, someone consciously decided that ''horn attack was not a sensible move for Piloswine to learn; peck makes much more sense.''

Mostly, however, my point is that Piloswine is not avian, nor does it have a horn. Surely there must have been SOMETHING more appropriate than peck? Why peck?? Nidoran♀ pointedly does ''not'' learn peck, or any of the other related horn-y moves, while her male counterpart does, because her horns are too small/she does not have a head spike. Only six non-avian lines have ''ever'' had access to the move peck, and only five lines have had access to peck since gen II (seel only very briefly had it via breeding); Piloswine has NO OTHER moves that are even remotely "spike/jab"-y! [[User:Harumei|Harumei]] ([[User talk:Harumei|talk]]) 19:13, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
:It also learns Fury Attack, and quote its description, "The target is '''jabbed''' repeatedly with a '''horn or beak''' two to five times in a row." Mamoswine also learns Peck the same way, and you'll note that the reason Swinub can't is because it doesn't have tusks like its evolutions. Tusks count as "horns," regardless of their location. But ultimately, none of this is notable as trivia, imo. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 19:31, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
::While I grant you Fury attack, which I didn't notice as I tend to confuse it with fury swipes, I will point out that I said "Line"--meaning both Piloswine and mamoswine--and my point remains, as tusks are rather emphatically ''not'' horns, being teeth as opposed to keratin over bone, and moreover the original point was that PECK is a weird choice. "Piloswine and Mamoswine are one of only five non-avian evolutionary lines to learn the move peck, and of those, they are the only ones who do not posses an obvious horn on the top of their head with which to accomplish this move."<--interesting trivia, imo. It wouldn't be nearly so remarkable if it weren't so specific a move; they're unusually discriminating where Peck is concerned--Horn attack I'd grant you, but peck? HOW DO YOU PECK WITH CURVED TUSKS? you'd be GORING them![[User:Harumei|Harumei]] ([[User talk:Harumei|talk]]) 23:07, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
:::The four you mention with horns on their heads prove that they are ''not'' as discriminating with Peck as you claim. I see no difference in significance between Piloswine using Peck and Seaking or Nidoking using it, and indeed, Piloswine seems to make a lot more sense using Peck than Maractus. On top of that, judging whether a move is unusual for any particular Pokemon is subjective, and thus does not belong on an encyclopedia. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 01:59, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
::::Do note that the act of pecking is poking at something with a sharp instrument, such as beaks, horns and tusks. Piloswine and Mamoswine knowing the move shouldn't be such a problem as they have something to peck with.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:20, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

== Mammoth vs. Mastodon ==

The origin section says that Piloswine "also shares traits with mammoths and mastodons the latter of which is expressed in its later evolution". However, Mamoswine is based on a mammoth, not a mastodon, so it should say "the '''former''' of which is expressed in its later evolution".

I would've just fixed it but in the source I noticed this little note:

"Mammoths were grazers, while mastodons were browsers, a behavior similar to that talked about in most of Piloswine's Generation III Pokédex entries."

I wasn't sure if it meant that Piloswine was a grazer or a browser - very little in the Pokédex suggests anything about either, and parts that did suggest that Piloswine is a grazer, but I'm still not sure what whoever wrote this section meant.

Either way, the sentence is incorrect. If Piloswine is a grazer, then it should say "the '''former''' of which is expressed in its later evolution". If Piloswine is a browser, like the confusing note in the source suggests, then it should say "'''both''' of which are expressed in its later evolution" - Mamoswine's appearance and name origin shows it is based on a mammoth, and mastodons are browsers.

The grammar in this section is pretty confusing - I've already fixed one mistake and as I'm writing this I already see another. --[[User:Celadonkey|--Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 20:46, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

==Evolution Trivia out of date==
The trivia point "Of all the Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve, Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once." is no longer true, as Steenee evolves by knowing Stomp, and already evolved from Bounsweet. Should this trivia point be removed, or edited to incorporate Steenee? My feeling is that it should just be removed. [[User:Itsdavidbaxter|Itsdavidbaxter]] ([[User talk:Itsdavidbaxter|talk]]) 19:32, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
:If something stops being unique, it generally is not worth trivia section anymore, as far as I know. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 19:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks. Makes sense. I've edited the page to remove that trivia. [[User:Itsdavidbaxter|Itsdavidbaxter]] ([[User talk:Itsdavidbaxter|talk]]) 20:04, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

'''Piloswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イノムー''' ''Inomoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swinub}} starting at [[level]] 33 and, starting in [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Ancient Power}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Piloswine eyes.png|thumb|200px|left|Piloswine's eyes]]
Piloswine is a big, brown, furry Pokémon with an impressive hump on its back. It also has two tusks made of ice, which seem small but can be lethal. These tusks thicken when it snows, and they are smaller on a female Piloswine than on a male. It has floppy ears that are sensitive to sound. Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur. As it is usually unable to see, it checks surroundings with its sensitive pig-like nose instead. Its hair is so long that it usually covers its small, hoofed legs. Despite the small size of its legs, its hooves ensure even footing on icy ground. Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|icy caves}}, mountainous regions and frozen tundra. It often digs for food buried beneath snow and ice.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn Piloswine.png|thumb|210px|Piloswine in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Pryce's Piloswine]]====
[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

====[[Dawn's Mamoswine|Dawn's Piloswine]]====
{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''. It later evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

====Other====
In [[EP250]], [[Nurse Joy]]'s Piloswine wore a sled and was used for traveling fast through the [[Ice Path#In the anime|Ice Cave]].

===Minor appearances===
[[File:Piloswine sled.png|thumb|210px|left|Piloswine wearing a sled]]Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

A Piloswine was among the Pokémon resting in some hot springs in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''.

A Piloswine under the ownership of an unknown Trainer battled in a qualifying match for the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]''.

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

A Piloswine appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP104|Piloswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Piloswine, the Swine Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Swinub}}. Piloswine's entire body is covered with fur, which makes it hard to see, so it uses its nose to sense its environment instead.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Carl Piloswine Adventures.png|thumb|130px|Piloswine in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Piloswine appeared in ''[[PS110|Piloswine Whine]]'' under the control of [[Carl]], who used its sheer power to devastate [[Ecruteak City]] with an {{m|Earthquake}}. However, {{adv|Silver}} defeated it easily with {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Polibo|Politoed]].

A Piloswine appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Trivia==
* Of all the {{DL|Methods of evolution|When the Pokémon knows a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve}}, Piloswine is the only one that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, Ancient Power is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by a [[Move Reminder]] in exchange for a {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Piloswine and its evolutionary family.
** Piloswine and its evolutionary family are also the only Pokémon weak to the types of all three [[starter Pokémon]].

===Origin===
Piloswine's size and appearance seem to be based on a combination of a {{wp|wild boar}} and a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the [[Ice Path]] in northern Johto. It also shares traits with {{wp|mammoth}}s and {{wp|mastodon}}s.

====Name origin====
Piloswine is a combination of ''pilose'' (to be covered in distinct hairs) and ''{{wp|swine}}''. It might invoke "pile o' swine", due to its tall and shaggy form. It may also come from the word "Pil" (Elephant in Hebrew).

Inomoo may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'' (boar) and ブーブー ''bū bū'' (an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking).

'''Ampharos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンリュウ''' ''Denryu'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Ampharos''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Ampharosite}}.

==Biology==
Ampharos is a yellow, bipedal Pokémon with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean. Ampharos is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

As Mega Ampharos, its toes turn black and it grows white wool at the back of its head and over its tail. Its long wooly tail has many small, red orbs attached to it. Its conical ears retain their stripes, but are now segmented with swirled tips. When it increases the amount of electrical energy within itself, the red orbs on its body and wool emit a strong light.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos</ref>

==Trivia==
* Ampharos shares the same {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as the Light Pokémon.
* Mega Ampharos has the highest Special Defense base stat and the highest single base stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
** Mega Ampharos has the highest base stat total of all non-legendary Electric-type Pokémon.
* Ampharos is the only Pokémon to have the same Pokédex entry in both Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.

===Origin===
Ampharos resembles a sheared {{wp|sheep}} that its evolution line leads up to as they lose wool with each evolution. It also shares traits with a {{wp|lighthouse}}, such as its height, stripes and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. It, as well as its pre-evolutions, may have been based on the title of the science fiction novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''. Mega Ampharos's {{t|Dragon}}-type, mane, and slender body suggest that it is based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}.

====Name origin====
Ampharos is a combination of ''ampere'' or ''{{wp|amp}}'' (a measure of electrical current) and ''pharos'' (Greek for ''lighthouse''). ''Amph-'' (Greek for ''both'' or ''on both sides'') may also refer to the two red orbs on its head and tail.

Denryu can be taken to mean 電流 ''denryū'' (electric current) or 電竜 ''den ryū'' (electric dragon), and it may incorporate 電球 ''denkyū'' (light bulb), referring to its tail.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=electric|type2=electric

'''Vileplume''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラフレシア''' ''Ruffresia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gloom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}. It is one of {{p|Oddish}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Bellossom}}.

==Biology==
Vileplume is a blue, bipedal Pokémon with rudimentary hands and feet. It has beady red eyes and a massive red flower growing from its head. Vileplume's flower is said to have the largest petals in the world, and is almost too heavy for the Pokémon itself to support. The rounded petals of the flower are red and covered with white spots. The female Vileplume has fewer, but larger, spots on its petals. It can shake, flap, or burst its petals into bloom with a bang in order to release clouds of pollen. This pollen is highly allergenic to humans and toxic to other Pokémon; Vileplume uses it to paralyze its prey. Vileplume lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}, where it is often mistaken for native flowers.

==Trivia==
* Vileplume shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Bellossom}}. They are all known as the Flower Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Gloom and Vileplume}}
Vileplume, like {{p|Gloom}}, is based on the ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}'', a foul-smelling flower known as the world's largest single flower. This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} more strongly resembles the flower than Gloom, which may represent the budding stage of the ''Rafflesia''. Vileplume's flower also looks alike to several other species of ''Rafflesia'', notably ''cantleyi'', ''keithii'', ''pricei'', ''panchoana'' and ''speciosa'', of which the petal shape is a closest match. Female Vileplume may be based on ''{{wp|Rafflesia hasseltii}}'', as its petals have distinctively larger blotches than other species of ''Rafflesia''.

====Name origin====
Vileplume is a combination of ''vile'' and ''plume'' or ''plumose'' (possessing filaments or branches that give a feathery look).

Ruffresia is a corruption of ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}''.

'''Gloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クサイハナ''' ''Kusaihana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Oddish}} at [[level]] 21 and evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Gloom eyes.png|thumb|left|220px|Gloom's eyes as seen in the anime]]
Gloom is a blue, bipedal Pokémon with rudimentary hands and feet. It has orange leaves and a reddish-brown flower growing from its head. The flower has large, rounded petals and white spots, and the female displays fewer, but larger, spots. Its eyes are wide and often appear closed and its lips are thin and purple. It trickles sticky nectar from its mouth with the appearance and consistency of drool. This can be used as a fertilizer for plants. Both this nectar and the flower on Gloom's head release a foul odor strong enough to induce fainting in humans over a mile away. However, it can also attract prey, and even a very small number of humans find it pleasing. This odor is a key ingredient for some perfume production. When it is in danger, the odor worsens, but it will not emit its odor if it feels safe. Gloom lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gloom anime.png|thumb|210px|right|Gloom in the anime]]

==Trivia==
* Gloom is the only dual-type Pokémon that can evolve into {{p|Bellossom|a single-type Pokémon}}.
* In the anime, James's description of Gloom's stench is confused in some sources as a description of his {{TP|James|Koffing|Weezing}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Gloom and Vileplume}}
Gloom appears to resemble the nocturnal flower known as ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}'', which has a foul odor. The fact that its terrible smelling pollen can be made into a wonderful perfume and that 1 in 1000 people enjoy its smell may be a reference to skunks, whose musk has similar qualities.

====Name origin====
Gloom is taken from the word ''gloom'' (a state of depression) and may refer to the gloom associated with smelling its stench or its seemingly depressed face. It could also come from ''bloom'', since it is still in the blooming stage of a ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}''. It could possibly also refer to "{{wp|glume}}", which is a type of leaf in grass flower anatomy.

Kusaihana literally means "stinking flower" (臭い花 ''kusai hana'').
