| The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It's a nectar that is used to attract prey. | |
| Yellow | |

| Gold | |
| What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched. | |

TriviaEdit
- Gloom is the only dual-typed that can evolve into a single-type being Bellossom.
- A threatened Gloom or a normal Gloom will give out a horrifying smell, while if a Gloom is not threatened it's scent will smell just fine.
