Bellossom is one of 2 ways Gloom's chain can end. This one takes the item path, while the siblings go different directions. Breed through Oddish to get eggs. Vileplume has 10 more total stats, but Bellossom makes up for it with a stronger Sp.Def gain (+35 from Oddish). View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Bellossom to get Oddish eggs easily using 57 partners from the Plant egg group. Notable egg moves include After You, Charm, Flail and 7 more.
Black 2 & White 2 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.
Best Build
Bellossom best EVs are Sp. Atk and Speed
Special Attacker Moveset
- Synthesis
- Leech Seed
- Solar Beam
- Petal Dance

Moves
Breeding's the move. After You and Charm give Bellossom options it can't learn any other way, and Normal and Dark coverage and more 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 2 & White 2
Bellossom isn't available in the wild in Black 2 & White 2. Start by transferring Oddish from Red, Yellow, or Emerald. The evolution path from Oddish to Bellossom is covered in the steps below.
Bellossom 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.
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 2 & White 2, 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.
