Bellossom

Bellossom is a grass‑type species of Pokémon that first appeared in the second generation of the Pokémon video games. It is the final evolutionary form of Budew, which evolves into Roselia before becoming Bellossom. According to the Pokédex, Bellossom is known for its distinctive flower on its head, a large purple blossom that serves as a powerful food‑absorbing device. The flower is said to feed exclusively on the pollen of other plants, allowing the Pokémon to thrive in environments rich in vegetative life.

Bellossom is native to the Johto and Kanto regions, where it can be found in forested areas, grasslands, and near bodies of water. In the games, it is typically encountered during the late afternoon in daytime forests or within hidden grottos. Trainers often consider it a good partner for Grass, Fairy, and Psychic type teams due to its ability to learn a wide array of support moves such as Aromatherapy, Heal Bell, and Sunny Day.

The Pokémon’s primary ability is Chlorophyll, which doubles its Speed during sunny weather. In the competitive scene, this ability is combined with moves that generate or exploit sun to achieve a surprise boost. Enemy and competitive move sets often include Sleep Powder, Sunny Day, and Worry Seed, using its flower to manipulate battle conditions.

Bellossom’s role in Pokémon lore and media extends beyond the games. It has appeared in numerous animated series episodes and manga, consistently portrayed as gentle and supportive, with a supportive dynamic with its trainer. In merchandise, it features as a plush toy, in the trading card game, and occasionally appears in promotional material for gardening and environmental themes.
