Basics
Gloom is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 960 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 1,200 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,900 at level 50. It is weak to Fire/Ice/Flying/Psychic attacks (1.6×). It resists Water/Electric/Fighting/Fairy/Grass attacks. In raids, Razor Leaf + Sludge Bomb is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It can evolve into Vileplume, Bellossom. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.

Gloom releases a foul fragrance from the pistil of its flower. When faced with danger, the stench worsens. If this Pokémon is feeling calm and secure, it does not release its usual stinky aroma.

- How to read IVs and appraisalsIVs run from 0 to 15 for each of Attack, Defense and HP, and appraisal stars are set by the sum of the three (0–45).
- What to power up first (power-up priorities for beginners)Stardust is limited, so first power up strong counters you'll use for a long time across many raids.
- Choosing IVs for PvP (low Attack wins in Great and Ultra League)In leagues with a CP cap, the lower the Attack IV, the higher you can level up within the same CP, which makes Defense and HP bigger.
