Raid Guide

Bellossom as Raid Boss

Not Currently in Raids

Bellossom is not currently available as a raid boss. When Bellossom returns to raids, here are the best counters to defeat it. A 100% IV Bellossom from raids would have 1303 CP at level 20, or 1629 CP at level 25 with weather boost.

Best Counters to Beat Bellossom

Bellossom is weak to Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison-type moves, so counters with these move types will deal the most damage.

How to Get Bellossom

Bellossom evolves from Gloom using 100 Candy and a Sun Stone.

A Shadow version of Bellossom is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Bellossom knows Frustration as its charged move, which can be removed with a Charged TM. Purifying costs 3,000 Stardust and 3 Candy, and the purified form learns Return. Walking Bellossom as your buddy earns 1 candy every 3.0 km.

Trainer Tips

Bellossom is a Grass-type Pokemon with a stat total of 536. With its bulk spread of 186 Defense and 181 Stamina, Bellossom has solid survivability in battles.

Watch out for Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison-type moves when using Bellossom. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Bellossom's performance.

Bellossom's moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 50,000 Stardust and 50 Candy. With 3 charged moves available, a second move gives Bellossom much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Bellossom is a Grass-type Pokemon with base stats of 169/186/181 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,578. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Bellossom may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Bellossom deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
