Biology

Bellossom is a flower-like Pokémon and an alternate evolution of Gloom, which can also evolve into Vileplume. Bellossom has green skin, flowers on its head and a skirt made of leaves. Depending on how smelly a Gloom is when evolving, a Bellossom's flowers grow more beautifully than usual. When going to sleep, Bellossom closes its petals.

Design & origin

Bellossom was initially designed with dark blue skin, similar to the rest of its evolutionary line. However, this was changed to green skin to avoid association with blackface. The skirt has changed colors multiple times between games; initially designed as pink, then red, before sticking with a green and yellow design.

Due to its skirt, Bellossom is likely based on hula girls. Its English name is a combination of "bell" and "blossom".
