Revision 1

Overview

Gloom is a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Weed Pokemon (Dex #014). The nectar it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious that it can make noses curl from more than a mile away. Despite this unpleasant trait, Gloom is a useful companion with the Grow specialty, and it serves as the middle stage in a branching evolution line that leads to either Vileplume or Bellossom.

Habitat

Gloom can be found in the following habitat:

The Tropical Vibes habitat (#057) features a tropical island theme. Build this habitat to attract Gloom as a common visitor. The habitat requires tropical-themed decorations and furniture to meet the spawn conditions.

Location

Gloom is found in Bleak Beach, the second major region unlocked after reaching Super Trainer Rank. While its pre-evolution Oddish appears in the Withered Wasteland, Gloom moves to the coastal Bleak Beach area.

How to Befriend

After building the Tropical Vibes habitat in Bleak Beach, Gloom will appear as a common visitor. Interact with it to receive a request. Complete the request to officially befriend Gloom and have it settle into your habitat. Because Gloom is a Common Pokemon at this habitat, it should appear relatively quickly once the habitat is set up.

Specialty: Grow

Gloom has the Grow specialty, the same specialty as its pre-evolution Oddish. Pokemon with Grow accelerate the growth of nearby plants, crops, flowers, and trees. Place Gloom near farming areas in Bleak Beach to take advantage of this specialty.

Preferences

Gloom prefers a humid environment, similar to Oddish. Raise the humidity around its habitat using water features and sprinklers. Notably, Gloom likes garbage, so placing Trash Bags or similar items near its habitat can boost its Comfort Level. It also favors dry-flavored foods, unlike Oddish's preference for bitter flavors.

Evolution

Gloom is the middle stage of the Oddish evolution line. It evolves from Oddish and can branch into two different final evolutions: Vileplume (Grass/Poison, gains Litter specialty) or Bellossom (pure Grass, gains Hype specialty). Choose based on whether you need a resource-dropping Litter Pokemon or a mood-boosting Hype Pokemon.

Pokedex Information

Tips

• Gloom's fondness for garbage items is unique. Place Trash Bags near its habitat to easily boost its Comfort Level.

• If you already have Oddish providing Grow in Withered Wasteland, Gloom can serve the same role in Bleak Beach.

• Decide early whether you want Vileplume or Bellossom as your final evolution, since each offers a different secondary specialty.

• Gloom's dry flavor preference means you can cook dry-flavored foods to keep it happy, unlike the bitter preference of its pre-evolution.
