Bellossom Evolutions
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.

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

When Bellossom gets exposed to plenty of sunlight, the leaves ringing its body begin to spin around. This Pokémon’s dancing is renowned in the southern lands.
A Bellossom grows flowers more beautifully if it has evolved from a smelly Gloom—the more stinky the better. At night, this Pokémon closes its petals and goes to sleep.
Bellossom Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Bellossom looks average on paper at 490 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Solarbeam with Heatrock 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 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.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Solarbeam, Moonblast, Sunnyday, and Moonlight. Solarbeam leads at 0% usage. This set covers the balanced 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.
