Erika's Gloom

Erika has a Gloom appearing in Pokémon Scent-sation! on whom Ash rescued from Team Rocket who set the gym in flames. Florinda Showers has a Gloom appearing in Make Room For Gloom. In Pokémon Food Fight!, Gulzar had a Gloom. A Gloom appeared in Pinch Healing!, Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1, League Unleashed!, respectively. Several appeared in Whichever Way the Wind Blows.

Trivia

  • Gloom is the only dual-type Pokémon that evolves into a mono-type Pokémon (as it loses its Poison type upon evolving into Bellossom).
  • Gloom is the only Grass-type Pokémon with the ability Stench.
  • Gloom and Eevee are the only Pokémon that can evolve in two different forms, both requiring an evolution stone.

Origin

Gloom is possibly based on a Rafflesia flower, a large flower known for its awful stench. It may also be based on trees seeing how its drool resembles tree sap.

Etymology

Gloom may derive from gloom (sadness), glume (a leaf-like structure on plants), and bloom.
