Gloom (Japanese: クサイハナ Kusaihana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

The "flower" on top of Gloom's head resembles a Rafflesia flower found in the rainforests, which is said to smell like rotten meat.

Gender differences

A female has fewer, albeit larger, spots on its petals.

Special abilities

Gloom's most well-known special ability is launching a horrid-smelling pollen that has been described as smelling like a mixture of old sneakers, garbage, and rotten eggs with a hint of skunk fumes.

Behavior

Habitat

File:Grassland.gif
Grassland Pokémon

Gloom live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients.

Diet

In the anime

Erika and her Gloom.

Erika, the Gym Leader of Celadon City, has a Gloom that Ash Ketchum rescued from the Gym when it went up in flames because of Team Rocket. Erika first met Gloom when it saved her from a Grimer when she was a girl. It appeared in Pokémon Scent-sation.

While not actually seen before evolving into a Vileplume in Holy Matrimony!, James's fiancée, Jessiebelle had a Gloom that was once an Oddish.

Florinda has a Gloom which she wanted to evolve into a Vileplume in Make Room for Gloom. But this Gloom didn't need to evolve after it beat Team Rocket with its powerful SolarBeam attack.

A Gloom was also used by Gulzar in Pokémon Food Fight.

Game data

Pokédex entries

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation I.
Generation I
Red The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey.
Blue
Yellow Smells incredibly foul! However, around 1 out of 1,000 people enjoy sniffing its nose-bending stink.
Stadium The horrible-smelling pistil of this flower stinks over a mile away. Unwittingly inhaled, it can cause fainting.
Generation II
Gold What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.
Silver It secretes a sticky, drool-like honey. Although sweet, it smells too repulsive to get very close.
Crystal The smell from its drool-like syrup and the pollen on its petals is so bad, it may make opponents faint.
Stadium 2 What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.
Generation III
Ruby Gloom releases a foul fragrance from the pistil of its flower. When faced with danger, the stench worsens. If this Pokémon is feeling calm and secure, it does not release its usual stinky aroma.
Sapphire From its mouth Gloom drips honey that smells absolutely horrible. Apparently, it loves the horrid stench. It sniffs the noxious fumes and then drips even more of its honey.
Emerald A horribly noxious honey drools from its mouth. One whiff of the honey can result in memory loss. Some fans are said to enjoy this overwhelming stink, however.
FireRed Its pistils exude an incredibly foul odor. The horrid stench can cause fainting at a distance of 1.25 miles.
LeafGreen The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey.
Generation IV
Diamond The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away.
Pearl The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away.

Trivia

  • The bud on Gloom's head was orange in Generation II, but was changed to brown in Generation III.
  • In Generation I, the Glitch H Poké could evolve into Gloom at level 224.

Origin

Gloom appears to resemble the nocturnal flower known as rafflesia arnoldii, which has a foul odor.

Name origin

Gloom's name is taken from the word gloom, which refers to something depressing, since it's normally seen with a depressed face. It could also come from bloom, since it's still in the blooming stage of a rafflesia arnoldii. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 臭い花, stinking flower.
