Biology

In its bud-like "Overcast Form", it normally stands still waiting for sunlight to absorb, and is protected by a hard, petal-like shell.

Forms

Sunshine Cherrim

In its "Sunshine Form", it blooms, becomes more active, and emits a sweet scent that may attract predators. Its petals close again when the sunlight wanes.

  1. Motionless, save for the occasional quiver. A rich array of Pokémon can be found gathered around it, drawn by the scent exuded from Cherrim's folded petals.

    Legends: Arceus

  2. Its folded petals are pretty tough. Bird Pokémon can peck at them all they want, and Cherrim won’t be bothered at all.

    Shield

  3. As a bud, it barely moves. It sits still, placidly waiting for sunlight to appear.

    Sword

  4. During times of strong sunlight, its bud blooms, its petals open fully, and it becomes very active.

  5. If it senses strong sunlight, it opens its folded petals to absorb the sun’s rays with its whole body.

  6. It is docile as a bud, but turns cheerful when it blooms. It folds back into a bud if sunlight wanes.

    Pearl

  7. It blooms during times of strong sunlight. It tries to make up for everything it endured as a bud.
