Black & White Bellossom Best Moveset

Bulk and offense in one package. Bellossom runs Leftovers for passive recovery each turn with a Modest nature, so it survives long enough to threaten with Synthesis. Max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs and the remaining moves make it hard to safely switch into.

Moves

Breeding's the move. After You and Charm give Bellossom options it can't learn any other way, and Normal and Dark coverage already covers a decent range on top of Leaf Storm and Solar Beam. The egg moves push it further.

How to Get Bellossom in Black & White

Bellossom doesn't appear wild. Catch Oddish instead, it shows up at decent rates. Evolve it through a special method to get Bellossom. The 3-stage chain is mapped in the step cards below.

Bellossom Guide

  • In Black & White, 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 & White, 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 leaning toward the special side (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.

  • In Black & White, the best way to handle Bellossom: Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attackers hit hardest.

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.
