Bellossom's stats are solid on their own, but Chlorophyll is what pushes it over the line. It doubles its Speed in sun. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Known as the Flower Pokemon. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets.
Bellossom's built to absorb hits, not race for knockouts. Balanced defenses with Sp. Def doing the heavy lifting. And the 1.06M XP medium-slow curve means it won't take forever to bring up, worth 3 Sp. Def EVs.
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 Weakness
FragileType-wise, Bellossom takes extra damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. The Grass typing picks up 4 resistances to work with.

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.

Step 3Bellossom ✓
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.
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. But the speed tells the real story — base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
Bellossom appears in 17 games, including Gold & Silver, Crystal, and Ruby & Sapphire.
Since Gold & Silver, Bellossom has been in 17 games. Requiring an item-based evolution to obtain means it's consistently available but requires more effort than simply catching it in the wild.
