Cherrim, the Blossom Pokemon, Cherrim is 1,08 and weighs 20.5lbs. Cherrim are grass type pokemon. Cherrim is the evolution of Cherubi which evolves at level 25. It takes about 5,120 steps to hatch a Cherubi egg. Training against Cherrim appears to boost special attack. Cherrim appears to be very closely related to Cherry blossoms. The concentration that makes up their petals are chemically similar to them. It is commonly believed that the first Cherubi were created by a genetic mutation in cherry tree's cherries which made them more animal like. These cherries evolved to be more pokemon-like throughout generations of evolution leaving us with the Cherrim line we know today. Cherrim have two forms. Cherrim's overcast form has a pink body covered by purple petals. On top of their heads are leaves and a pink bulb. In harsh sunlight it transforms into sunshine form. It's body becomes yellow and it's petals spread out and become pink. It has two cherries on it's head, and appears to be wearing dress-like petals over it's body with a green triangle on them. It's body radiates energy in this form that it shares with other pokemon.

Cherrim are native to the Sinnoh region. There have been spottings elsewhere, however the Cherrim in these regions are believed to be introduced by Cherrim either being released or blown away from their trainers. Cherrim should not naturally be found outside of Sinnoh, and tend to fare poorly outside of it. Cherrim tend to live on the tops of trees, however they are often seen running around on the ground and between trees to find food and to play. Cherrim are attracted to places with a lot of sunlight, and places with honey available. Habitat observations: Sinnoh: Cherrim thrive in Sinnoh. They can be found on honey trees throughout the region. It is said that Cherrim in the Sinnoh region live the longest, and are the happiest out of all the Cherrim in the world. Cherrim are often seen either on the upper branches of honey trees or around Combee nests. Cherubi are much more commonly seen in honey trees as Cherrim tend to glide on breezes in the surrounding area and flee if they spot a trainer with stronger pokemon. Cherubi are not as mobile which is why they are found when trainers slather sweet honey on a tree. Cherubi have been reported to be around levels 5-15. No data could be found on what wild Cherrim's levels tend to be. Cherrim love Combee and their honey. Cherrim will offer their nectar so Combees can make honey. Wurmple and it's evolutions are predators to Cherrim. Starly are predators to Cherubi that try to eat it's second cherry, preventing evolution, if it spots one while flying over honey trees. Cherrim and Burmy have a neutral fear of each other. It is commonly theorized that Cherrim have instincts that tell them bug types are all predators and Burmy appear to easily be afraid of other pokemon. Cherrim compete with Hearcross for Combee's honey. Hearcross are known to steal honey from Cherrim and Combee. Sunshine form Cherrim are known to play with Aipom in honey trees. On the rare occurrence Muchlax appear by honey trees Cherrim tend to avoid them. Muchlax are only known to come to honey trees when trainers slather honey on them. Muchlax rarely invade low hanging Combee nests, providing extra competition for Cherrim. Johto National Park: Cherubi, the preevolution of Cherrim have been spotted in a very specific location in national park. On one tree Cherubi flock to it. Everywhere else in Johto the population tends to be one or zero. The Cherubi of the area appear to subsist entirely on sunlight and sometimes the leaves from the tree they live on, not giving them enough energy to evolve. It has been noticed that some of the second cherries on some older Cherubi have begun to shrivel up. This is due to the Cherubi giving up on evolution, and using it's second cherry's nutrients to increase it's lifespan. It is theorized that the few Cherubi that do evolve into Cherrim willingly float away in the breeze looking for a less crowded place with more sunlight, and more honey. These migrating Cherrim usually travel alone, and there are no other places Cherrim are known to sustainability thrive in Johto. Due to the large amount of Cherubi crammed together in an area it is hard to keep track of individuals for study purposes. The cluster of Cherubi together appears to be unsustainable, and it is predicted that the non fully grown Cherubi will be forced to move and be picked off, and the tree they live on will die due to them blocking most of the light needed for photosynthesis, and their constant eating of it's leaves. The Cherubi of the area seem to not want to move to any other tree. The reason for this is unknown. Unova Route 12: In the past Cherrim have been spotted in route 12 of the Unova region. Cherubi there evolve quickly due to increase their chances of surviving with other high leveled pokemon. Cherrim here tend to be levels 48-58. Higher level Cherrim seem to enjoy the company of other high leveled pokemon the most, and would fight with them if engaged in battle. Cherrim here seem to act more violent than Cherrim found anywhere else in the wild, presumably due to their high level. They seem to act very caring and motherly to the Sunkern there. It is theorized that the Sunkern remind them of their own young. There have been more reports of Cherrim taking care of Sunkern in the area than Sunflora, this is due to the very low number of Sunflora in the area. Cherrim seem attracted to Rapidash, who usually either welcome the company or try to shake them away in annoyance. Rapidash's flames remind Cherrim of the sun. A Rapidash that knows sunny day will have many Cherrim flock to it. Cherrim often seem to play with Audino in the area. Cherrim are very friendly towards Combee. They love the honey Combee produce and will offer it's nectar in return. It's nectar tastes sweeter if it was harvested in Sunshine form, and tastes more bitter in overcast form. Due to this Combee usually only seek the nectar of sunshine form Cherrim. Despite loving Combee Cherrim tend to fear Vespiquen due to their typing. Cherrim are in rivalry with Heracross for honey. Heracross are known to steal honey from Combee and Cherrim. Predators of Cherrim are Kakuna, Pinsir, and sometimes Tranquill and Unfezant, however they are much more likely to go after Pinsir and, especially Combee and Heracross more than Cherrim. This is due to their preference in bugs, and annoyance about worry seed. Most Cherrim are afraid of Metapod and Butterfree due to their typing. Butterfree seem to act friendly towards Cherrim and there have been a few cases of them playing together. Cherrim tend to have varied reactions to Emolga. A portion of Cherrim appear to enjoy playing with Emolga, while another portion fear them. This is speculated to come from Cherrim's confusion about Emolga's typing, with some Cherrim only considering birds flying types. Cherrim are known to act neutral towards Dunsparce. In the years between 2010-2012 route 12 went through radical changes. The Cherrim there went extinct. A new predator, Sewaddle was introduced, and the population of Pinsir increased. A new rival for Combee's honey was introduced, Roselia. All Roselia produced a sweet scent Combee love while only a few Cherrim could do so. Roselia's petals being colorful all the time and better ability to resist it's predator's attacks led to it taking over Cherrim's role in the ecosystem, and the Cherrim in the area went extinct or were captured by trainers. Hoenn Mirage forests: There have been sightings of forests north of Lilycove city with Cherrim in them. These forests can not always be found however group efforts have better chances of spotting them. Cherrim in these forests grow up very quickly due to the pokemon in the area being high leveled. Cherrim here tend to be between levels 36 and 38. Cherrim in these forests are spotted to eat mushrooms, something that Cherrim in no other regions have been spotted doing. Cherrim are less common than the other pokemon found here which gives indication their population is on a decline. Cherrim seem to act very caring and motherly to the Sunkern in this area. It is theorized that the Sunkern remind them of their own young. Cherrim tend to be on friendly terms with the Tangela. Overcast Cherrim tend to keep their distance while sunshine form Cherrim are often seen playing with them, getting caught in it's vines and tickling them to get out. Cherrim seem to fear Purugly of the area. While it is not an actual predator the grass type pokemon of the forest seem to all act tense around it, and Purugly has been known to steal nests.

Cherrim's main food sources are honey and sunlight, though it also eats berries from time to time. Cherrim tend to live in places with access to a lot of sunlight and Combee for honey, however they have proven they only need the former to survive. Cherrim try to go into they're sunshine form as much as possible. In overcast form they tend to wait on the tops of tree branches to try to soak up sunlight. Overcast Cherrim tend to be docile and avoid battle as they are weaker without the sun. Overcast Cherrim's petals help protect it from rain, sand, hail, ect. When the sunlight is strong Cherrim turn into their sunshine forms to soak up as much sunlight as they can. It takes a lot of energy to maintain sunshine form, so Cherrim do not switch unless it is bright and sunny. Cherrim's ability is flower gift, which provides energy to it's friends, which is useful for attracting Combee. Combee are attracted to sunshine Cherrim's bright pink petals, positive energy and sweet nectar, and they tend to avoid overcast Cherrim. Sunshine Cherrim's back petals allows it to glide in the wind, giving it increased mobility and making it easier to escape from predators. Cherrim tend to fear flying and bug types that aren't Combee as those tend to be Cherrim's predators. Cherrim don't fear it's other type weaknesses as they don't have experience with those types. Cherrim have actually been attracted to the flames of fire types (and other bright lights) and have been spotted following Rapidash in Unova. Cherrim is often robbed of it's honey by Heracross. Cherrim appear to act motherly towards Sunkern in areas when Cherubi grow up fast. It is unknown if it is because their instincts tell them they should take care of their offspring longer, or would still do so in areas where Cherubi grow up at normal speeds. For more information about how Cherrim act towards other pokemon in their habitats see the Habitat section for more info. Cherubi tend to eat a lot more than it's evolved form Cherrim. This is due to all the energy it stores in it's second cherry for evolution. It is known to use energy from it's second cherry in times of need. If Cherubi loses it's second cherry it loses it's ability to evolve into Cherrim. The second cherry if often a target for predators due to it being rich in nutrients. Cherubi sleep in hidden places due to this while Cherrim sleep out in the open. Moves found in the wild While wild Cherrim are not inclined to battle, and avoid it when they can, wild Cherrim have been seen using moves in the wild. general: Morning sun/growth - Cherrim use these moves to become stronger. Growth is most often used when Cherrim spots a predator and Morning sun is most often used after escaping from a predator. Cherrim may use these moves while absorbing sunlight in the morning. Cherrim have also been seen to use these to fend off tiredness during the day, however they will never use these moves for that reason once the sun sets. Cherubi have been seen spamming these moves, especially growth, to store up energy for evolution. Sunny Day - Used when the sunlight isn't strong enough to turn into sunshine form. Overcast Cherrim will spam the move repetitively until the sun comes out or intensifies. or until they run out of power points. If it is raining overcast Cherrim wait under the top tree branches and wait for the sun to come out. Leech Seed/Worry Seed - Both of these moves have been used to fend off predators. Cherrim often use them then run. Leach seed has a more immediately noticeable effect on predators while worry seed tends to dissuade predators from doing after Cherrim in the future. Worry seed is most commonly used on Heracross in hopes that future Heracross will leave their honey alone. Magical Leaf - Also used to fend off predators. Cherrim often play games with magical leaf. They can be seen racing them, trying to fly them through difficult paths and enhancing their dancing with them. Petal Dance - Cherrim love dancing, however they rarely use petal dance outside of mating season. They will only use it otherwise when they feel safe and are feeling extremely happy or are trying to impress someone. During mating season Cherrim will try to out compete each other in their dances for twirls and petals in it. Cherrim often become dizzy after a petal dance leaving them open to predators. Petal Blizzard - Used while playing and during mating season. Similar to petal dance but doesn't leave the Cherrim dizzy and removes the risk of predators being able to prey on Cherrim. Petal Blizzard is usually found less impressive than petal dance. Petal Blizzard is much more commonly used outside of mating season than petal dance. Helping Hand/Lucky Chant - Cherrim will use these moves on pokemon they want to help, impress, or play with. Sinnoh: Tackle - Cherubi will tackle to tend off predators. This puts them dangerously close to the predators. Tackle is often one of the first moves Cherubi will forget as Cherrim prefer to leech seed and then run from predators. Growth - Cherubi will spam growth in order to store up energy for becoming Cherrim. Often used when Cherubi senses a predator nearby. Leech Seed - Used on predators. Cherubi and Cherrim will run away quickly afterwards. Helping Hand - Cherubi will use helping hand on Combee and Aipom. Using on Combee increases Combee's honey output and makes them more likely to share honey with them. Cherubi also use it on Aipom when inviting it to play with them. Unova Route 12: Worry Seed - Used on predators to discourage them from going father further Cherrim. This has proven to be effective on Tranquill and Unfezant as most appear to go after mostly bug types. Worry seeded Heracross seem to be much more aggressive than normal. There has been a slight increase in aggression for worry seeded Pinsir. However at the end of the day most bug types still go after Cherrim. Take Down - Cherrim on route 12 are much more dangerous than Cherrim elsewhere in the world. Cherrim go all out in bull body attacks. This appears to be rather effective against predators damage wise, however Cherrim also gets hurt in the process preventing this move from being a reliable counter. Overcast Cherrim appear to use this much more often over Solar beam. Solarbeam - Also used against predators. However most of Cherrim's predators have grown a resistance to this attack. Solar beam is also used during mating season on route 12. Cherrim would compete on who could launch the biggest and most colorful solar beams into the sky. Tourists used to rather on Village bridge during Cherrim mating season to watch the firework like solar beams. The last recorded instance of this was in 2011, however it was noted that it was much smaller than last year's. Lucky Chant - Used on pokemon Cherrim is trying to be friendly too. When predators come Cherrim will use this on their friends to protect them. Cherrim on route are more attracted to this move than other similar moves as it makes the battle more fair in their eyes and doesn't put the foe at a huge disadvantage. Hoenn Mirage forests: Take down - While commonly found in Cherrim's move set this move is actually rarely used by them. Cherrim only tend to use this move on Purugly and trainers only when they feel like they don't have other options. Worry Seed - Cherrim tend to use this when they feel threatened. Using worry seed then running tends to be their first resort. Purugly appear to be greatly annoyed by Cherrim because of this. Petal Dance - Cherrim in Mirage forest seem to use petal dance more often outside of mating season than any other Cherrim in the world. The petals from Cherrim's petal dances make mirage forest feel more mythical to travelers. Sunny Day - Due to the large amount of shade caused by the trees Cherrim can often be seen using sunny day. The mirage forest appears to suffer from low amounts of rainfall as a result. Sunkern and Tangela seem to enjoy the extra sun while Purugly seem to despise it.

Cherrim wake up when the sun starts to rise. The first thing Cherrim does when it wakes up is go to the top of trees and try to absorb sunlight until they turn into sunshine form. After becoming sunshine form Cherrim sunbathe for 15-30 minutes before going onto they're other actives. If Cherrim fails to become Sunshine form Cherrim spends the rest of the day absorbing whatever sunlight it can, and finding food. Overcast Cherrim tends to avoid other pokemon. If it is raining or other similar bad weather Cherrim will seek shelter. If Cherrim becomes sunshine form it spends the rest of the day playing and finding food in the sunlight. Cherrim enjoy playing with other Cherrim and other pokemon. Cherrim can be seen dancing, gliding in the wind, racing, playing tag and playing catch. Cherrim will often play with Combee and try to convince them to share some of their honey. Cherrim often play with other pokemon in the nearby area and tend to switch who they are playing with several times a day. Cherrim stop playing when the sun sets, and they can no longer sustain sunshine form. At the end of the day Cherrim will climb to the upper most tree branches, catch the last of the sun and fall asleep as the sun completely sets and the moon rises.

The future for Cherrim looks somewhat grim. Cherrim have already gone extinct on route 12 in Unova, and the population in Johto's national park appear to be unsustainable. The population in the mirage forest in Hoenn seems to be on the decline. However, the population in Sinnoh seems sustainable. Cherrim appear to thrive in Sinnoh, and can be found wherever there are honey trees. It is theorized that because Cherrim originate, and have spent thousands of years adapting and evolving in Sinnoh, it finds the most success there. There have been a few efforts to preserve Cherrim. Few trainers even remembers that Cherrim exists and even fewer have one. Cherrim has a small following in the gardening community who love either Cherrim's sunshine form's looks or the positive effects they have on flowers. People have found a way to permanently keep Cherrim in it's sunshine form through sun jewels. However, due to the rarity of the jewels, and lack of interest in Cherrim no serious efforts have been made to mass produce sun jewels. Cherrim appear to increase the amount of honey Combee output and a few honey farmers have been experimenting with having a few Cherrim with their Combee, however Cherrim's habit of eating the honey Combee make have turned most farmers who know of their existence off. Exact results on this are yet to come it, but the potential results looks promising.
