Biology

Gloom's leaves and the drool-like nectar on its mouth smell rancid enough to cause fainting in a mile-wide radius, though some people enjoy the smell, and some use it to produce perfume. It amplifies the odor when in danger, and stops emitting it when safe.

Smells incredibly foul! However, around one out of a thousand people enjoy sniffing its nose-bending stink.

The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2 · Y
Its pistils exude an incredibly foul odor. The horrid stench can cause fainting at a distance of 1.25 miles.
FireRed · Sword
A horribly noxious honey drools from its mouth. One whiff of the honey can result in memory loss. Some fans are said to enjoy this overwhelming stink, however.
Emerald
From its mouth GLOOM drips honey that smells absolutely horrible. Apparently, it loves the horrid stench. It sniffs the noxious fumes and then drools even more of its honey.
Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
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.
Ruby · Omega Ruby
The smell from its drool-like syrup and the pollen on its petals is so bad, it may make opponents faint.
Crystal
It secretes a sticky, drool-like honey. Although sweet, it smells too repulsive to get very close.
Silver · SoulSilver
What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.
Gold · HeartGold · Shield
Smells incredibly foul! However, around 1 out of 1,000 people enjoy sniffing its nose- bending stink.
Yellow
The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey.
