This Gloom is a grass/poison-type Pokémon owned by Erika.

Biography[]

The Beginning series[]

Gloom is not only Erika's trademark Pokémon, but also her favorite. He saved her from a Grimer when she was little and they've been friends ever since.[1]

Team Rocket snuck into the Gym and encountered Gloom. James had Weezing try use Poison Gas on him, but failed and Gloom emitted its scent, knocking Team Rocket out. During the Gym Battle against Ash, Erika sent Gloom against his Charmander. Gloom emitted his scent, causing Charmander to faint from the smell. After Team Rocket set the Gym on fire, Gloom was still inside and was afraid from the fire. Ash tried saving Gloom, but he started emitting his scent. Ash held his breath and took Gloom, but noticed he didn't emit his scent, since he felt safe in his arms. Ash saved Gloom out of the Gym, which impressed Erika to give him the Rainbow Badge.[1]

While running away from his Pikachu, to have him stay with the other Pikachu and be happy with others of its kin, Ash recalled how Pikachu, who was with Erika and Gloom, found out Ash disguised himself as a girl to enter the Gym.[2]

Gold and Silver series[]

Ash remembered Erika and Gloom at the end of his journey through Kanto and Johto.[3]

Journeys series[]

Gloom appeared in a flashback of Ash's time at his Trainer's Gym.[4]

Known moves[]

None of Gloom's moves are known.

Notes[]

  1. ^ "Suffering the Flings and Arrows!", Confirmed via gender difference, as shown in Erika's flashback, Gloom had multiple small spots on each of its petals.
