Guide to the Evolution of Gloom

Because of the branching pathways, Gloom's evolution line is among the most intriguing ones available. Even if Gloom doesn't stand out on its own, it's still valuable to make sure you get Vileplume or Bellossom. If you want to have any chance of obtaining any of them, you must understand how to develop Gloom.

Even though Gloom's evolution line inherits the poison Pokémon type later on, they begin as grass Pokémon in gen 1. To understand how to counter them, we advise you to study about the grass Pokémon weakness and poison Pokémon weakness. For this, we suggest looking into Ralts' evolution, since psychic Pokémon work very well against Gloom and its several phases.

All right, let's explore Gloom's evolutionary path.

Gloom: Who is she?

Gloom, who evolved from Oddish, is just number 44 in the Pokédex, making it one of the original Pokémon. One fascinating thing about Gloom is that, despite the fact that many people mistake it for drooling, the creature really utilizes honey to draw in prey. The ooze smells horrible to humans, even if it tastes delicious, so unless you're one of the few that likes the stench, stay away.

Where is Oddish available?

Let's get you and Oddish together since there's no need in learning how to develop Oddish if you don't already have one. You should be able to capture it with a regular pokéball since it is usually an early-game monster. Having said that In the Switch games, Oddish may be found here:

• Let’s Go Pikachu – Viridian Forest, Route 1, Route 2, Route 12, Route 13, Route 14, Route 15, Route 21, Route 24, and Route 25
• Let’s Go Eevee – Oddish is exclusive to Let’s Go Pikachu, so you need to trade with another trainer
• Sword and Shield – East Lake Axewell, Dappled Grove, Motostoke Riverbank, Rolling Fields, Watchtower Ruins, Giant’s Cap, Hammerlocke Hills, and North Lake Miloch
• Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl – Routes 229, Route 230, and the Grand Underground (Grassland Cave, Riverbank Cave, Swampy Cave, Spacious Cave, Sunlit Cavern, Still-Water Cavern, and Bogsunk Cavern)
• Scarlet and Violet – you can get Oddish through the Terrarium in the coastal biome in the Indigo Disk DLC

How can I develop Oddish?Gloom is the evolution of Oddish at level 21.. It's that easy: just fight Oddish to level up more quickly without using any stones or stuff. If you are fortunate enough to own the rare object, you may also choose to utilize a rare sweet.

Where is Gloom available?

If you would rather go on to Gloom instead of Oddish (albeit that does leave a gap in your Pokédex), there is a method to expedite this evolution path. If you decide to go this route, be sure to have excellent balls since a regular pokéball won't likely do the job.

This Gloom is available on Switch in the following locations:

• Let’s Go Pikachu – Route 12, Route 13, Route 14, Route 15, and Route 21
• Let’s Go Eevee – Gloom is exclusive to Let’s Go Pikachu, so you need to trade with another trainer to get it
• Sword and Shield – Giant’s Mirror, Axew’s Eye, East Lake Axewell, North Lake Miloch, Giant’s Cap, Dappled Grove, Giant’s Cap, Hammerlocke Hills, and Motostoke Riverbank
• Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl – Route 224, Route 229, Route 230, and the Grand Underground (Spacious Cave, Grassland Cave, Swampy Cave, Riverbank Cave, Still-Water Cavern, Swampy Cave, Sunlit Cavern, and Bogsunk Cavern)
• Scarlet and Violet – you can get Oddish through the Terrarium in the coastal biome in the Indigo Disk DLC

How can I transform Gloom into Vileplume?You must utilize a leaf stone to develop Gloom into its original form, Vileplume. This is the same stone used to get Leafeon, one of the Eevee evolutions. Fortunately, it's simple to get. Here's how to get one:

• Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee – Route 2, Victory Road, and Celadon Department Store
• Sword and Shield – Turffield, Lake of Outrage, the Bridge Field Digging Duo, and as a poke job reward for tier III, IV, and IX
• Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl – Floaroma Forest and the Grand Underground
• Scarlet and Violet – Tagtree Thicket, Artazon, Delibird presents, Terra Raid Battles, and Wistful Fields (you need The Teal Mask expansion to access this area)

How may Gloom become Bellossom?

Should you are pursuing Bellossom, you should offer Gloom a sun stone. Similar to the leaf stone, there are many ways to get one:

• Sword and Shield – explore Dusty Bowl, see if a Pokémon with pickup ability collects one, try your luck with the Digging Duo in the Bridge Field, and catch a wild Solrock (it has a 5% chance of holding a sun stone)
• Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl – you can catch a wild Solrock (it has a 5% chance of holding a sun stone) or explore the Grand Underground
• Scarlet and Violet – you can find them in Area Zero, East Province (Area Three), West Province (Area One), Artazon, Porto Marinada auction, and Paradise Barrens (you need The Teal Mask expansion to access this area)

Before you get too excited, note that in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, Gloom cannot develop into Bellossom since the gen 2 Pokémon isn't included in the Kanto Pokédex.

Where Would Bellossom Be Found?

You may skip all the evolutions after Bellossom and finish the game in a few games, however we advise you to have some hyper balls ready since this stage three monster might be problematic. Nevertheless, , here is where you may locate Bellossom:

• Sword and Shield – Giant’s Mirror and Dappled Grove
• Scarlet and Violet – you can find Bellossom in the Terrarium in the Indigo Disk DLC. It’s in the coastal biome

Where is Vileplume available?

Vileplume may be caught if you choose to bypass both Oddish and Gloom, but doing so will be much more difficult since they don't occur as often as their earlier stages and will need several hyper balls. This is the location of Vileplume:How can I develop Gloom in Pokémon Go?

• Let’s Go Pikachu – Route 21
• Sword and Shield – Dappled Grove, Giant’s Mirror, Giant’s Cap, Hammerlocke Hills, East Lake Axewell, Motostoke Riverbank, and North Lake Miloch
• Scarlet and Violet – you can find Vileplume in the coastal biome in the Terrarium in the Indigo Disk DLC

Initially, , you may use 25 candies to develop Oddish into Gloom, and after that, feed Gloom 100 candies to get Vileplume. You must have a sun stone and 100 candies on hand if you're going for Bellossom. The best method to get them is to visit Poké stations.After you've learned all there is to know about the evolution of Gloom, let us introduce you to the evolutions of Scyther, Rockruff, and Salandit (Section 41, Section 42, and Section 43, respectively).
