Gloom (Japanese: クサイハナ Kusaihana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Oddish at level 21 and evolves into either Vileplume when exposed to a Leaf Stone or Bellossom when exposed to a Sun Stone.
Biology
Gloom is a blue, bipedal Rafflesia-like Pokémon with rudimentary hands and feet. On its head is a flower with spherical petals surrounded by four reddish-brown leaves. The petals are a dark reddish-brown and have white spots. A female displays a single large spot on each petal, while a male will have many smaller spots. Gloom's eyes are wide and often appear closed and its lips are thin and purple.
Gloom 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 (1.6 kilometers) 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 grassy plains. In the past, Petal Dance was its signature move.
In the anime
Major appearances
Gloom debuted in Pokémon Scent-sation!, under the ownership of Erika. Ash first rescued it from the Celadon Gym when it was set on fire due to Team Rocket's actions. Erika first met Gloom when it saved her from a Grimer when she was a girl. According to this episode, Gloom is a very useful Pokémon, as Erika uses Gloom's stench as a recipe for creating perfume.

In Make Room for Gloom, Florinda initially wanted to evolve her Gloom into a Vileplume. However, Florinda eventually decided it didn't need to evolve after it beat Team Rocket with its powerful Solar Beam attack. It reappeared in a flashback in Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!.
In Pokémon Food Fight!, Gulzar owns a Gloom. Ash tried to battle it with Charizard, but he sent Squirtle and then Snorlax out by mistake, which resulted in Snorlax trying to eat Gloom's leaves.
In Whichever Way the Wind Blows, multiple Gloom either evolved into Bellossom or Vileplume depending on the direction of the wind which contained fragments of Sun Stones and Leaf Stones.
In Bucking the Treasure Trend!, multiple Gloom attacked Ash, his friends, and Buck as they searched for Dandelion Island's treasure.

Trivia
- Gloom is the only dual-type Pokémon that can evolve into a single-type Pokémon.
- In the anime, James's description of Gloom's stench is confused in some sources as a description of his Koffing.
- Although Gloom has the Chlorophyll Ability, it is actually based off of a genus of plants (Rafflesia) that do not contain chlorophyll.
Origin
Gloom seems to be based on a mandrake, plants from the Mandragora genus whose roots sometimes resemble human figures, and the budding stage of Rafflesia, a genus of parasitic plants known for their large, foul smelling flowers. Its brown leaves may also allude to its parasitic origins, as if the flower is drawing nutrients away from Oddish's formerly green leaves and causing them to wilt. Female Gloom resemble Rafflesia hasseltii due to the larger spots on their petals.
Its tendency to emit a foul odor when it feels threatened is similar to a skunk. The fact that its pungent pollen can be made into a fragrant perfume may be a reference to musk, an aromatic substance secreted from the glands of various animals that is a common perfume ingredient but smells unpleasant in high concentrations.
Name origin
Gloom may be derived from gloom (a state of depression) and bloom. It may also involve glume (a leaf-like structure).
Kusaihana may be derived from 臭い花 kusai hana (stinking flower).
