B2W2 Bellossom Best Moveset

AbilityChlorophyll doubles 50 Speed in sun, and 90 Sp. Atk fires Grass TermStab at moderate power in the weather. The moveset answers Water and Ground types in sun teams but competes with Venusaur, Victreebel, and every other Chlorophyll user for the same team slot. 100 Sp. Def provides some special bulk.

Pokemon Black 2 / Pokemon White 2

Bellossom Black 2 & White 2 Guide

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Bellossom looks average on paper at 480 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier support on our tier list. Synthesis with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Bellossom's biggest threats include Charizard (Fire), Cloyster (Ice), and Nidoking (Poison), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Bellossom gets Chlorophyll and Healer. But Chlorophyll is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.

  • Bellossom is a special attacker with base 90 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the support role.

  • For Black 2 & White 2, the core moveset is Synthesis, Leech Seed, Solarbeam, and Petaldance. Synthesis leads at 0% usage. This set covers the support role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Since Gold & Silver, Bellossom has been in 18 games. Requiring an item-based evolution to obtain means it's consistently available but requires more effort than simply catching it in the wild.
