Cherrim is a blooming flower-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fourth generation games. It is the evolved form of Cherubi. Cherrim notably has two different forms that are dependent on the weather.

Information

Cherrim evolves from Cherubi at Level 25. Its default form resembles a flower bud, at which point it is docile. During sunny weather, the bud blooms into a pink leaf-covered creature. The bloomed form of Cherrim is much more active and cheerful. At this time they try to make up for everything they endured as a bud. Cherrim eventually reverts into a Cherubi when the sunlight wanes.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In most games, Cherrim could only be obtained by evolving a Cherubi. In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, it could be uncommonly found at Route 12.

Other Games

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, Cherrim could be recruited at the first nine floors of Treeshroud Forest. In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, it was found at Peril Cliffs. In Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, it appeared at Latolato Trail. Cherrim also appeared in Pokémon Rumble at Windy Prairie.

Other Appearances

Other Media

• Cherrim have made mostly minor appearances in the Pokémon anime during the Sinnoh series. A newscaster dressed as one in one episode, and Cherrim was shown as one of Lila's Pokémon in another episode.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Gardenia gave a Cherrim to Platina near the end of the Diamond/Pearl arc. She later used it during the Platinum arc.

Trivia

• Its name seems to be a combination of "cherry" (mostly due to its predecessors' resemblance to cherries) and "blossom" (since blossoming is one of the Pokémon's main features).
