We're back on schedule this week to finally talk about Oddish's evolved form, Gloom! It's time to quantify some stinky! Follow along with the entries below:
Red & Blue: The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn’t drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey.
Yellow: Smells incredibly foul! However, around 1 out of 1,000 people enjoy sniffing its nose-bending stink.
Gold: What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.
Silver: It secretes a sticky, drool-like honey. Although sweet, it smells too repulsive to get very close.
Crystal: The smell from its drool-like syrup and the pollen on its petals is so bad, it may make opponents faint.
Ruby: 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.
Sapphire: 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.
FireRed: Its pistils exude an incredibly foul odor. The horrid stench can cause fainting at a distance of 1.25 miles.
Emerald: 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.
Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum: The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away.
BTB: It smells so bad that you can't hold the knowledge of its stink in your mind. Gloom can dig it though.

Beyond the Ball 209 - Oddish
1 RecommendationsWhat if a plant could walk? What if a plant could scream? The answer, of course, is Oddish! Get ready to learn a lot about a little guy. Also Braden's been Pokemon Sleeping and having a surprisingly decent time. Follow along with the entries below:
Red & Blue: During the day, it keeps its face buried in the ground. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds.
Yellow: It may be mistaken for a clump of weeds. If you try to yank it out of the ground, it shrieks horribly.
Gold: Awakened by moonlight, it roams actively at night. In the day, it stays quietly underground.
Silver: If exposed to moonlight, it starts to move. It roams far and wide at night to scatter its seeds.
Crystal: During the day, it stays in the cold underground to avoid the sun. It grows by bathing in moonlight.
Ruby: During the daytime, ODDISH buries itself in soil to absorb nutrients from the ground using its entire body. The more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become.
Sapphire: ODDISH searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, this POKéMON’s feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees.
FireRed: Its scientific name is “Oddium Wanderus.” At night, it is said to walk nearly 1,000 feet on its two roots.
Emerald: This POKéMON grows by absorbing moonlight. During the daytime, it buries itself in the ground, leaving only its leaves exposed to avoid detection by its enemies.
Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum: It often plants its root feet in the ground during the day and sows seeds as it walks about at night.
BTB: It runs around at night screaming and spewing seeds. Bucks plant convention by hating the sun.

Beyond the Ball 211 - Vileplume
1 RecommendationsWe're on to Vileplume and it's bigger, floppier and perhaps no longer stinky. It's also definitely some combination of toxic, poisonous, and/or allergenic. Also Will says "rapscallion" twice in this episode! Follow along with the entries below:
Red & Blue: The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up.
Yellow: Flaps its broad flower petals to scatter its poisonous pollen. The flapping sound is very loud.
Gold: It has the world’s largest petals. With every step, the petals shake out heavy clouds of toxic pollen.
Silver: The bud bursts into bloom with a bang. It then starts scattering allergenic, poisonous pollen.
Crystal: By shaking its big petals, it scatters toxic pollen into the air, turning the air yellow.
Ruby: VILEPLUME’s toxic pollen triggers atrocious allergy attacks. That’s why it is advisable never to approach any attractive flowers in a jungle, however pretty they may be.
Sapphire: VILEPLUME has the world’s largest petals. They are used to attract prey that are then doused with toxic spores. Once the prey are immobilized, this POKéMON catches and devours them.
FireRed: Its petals are the largest in the world. It fiendishly scatters allergy-causing pollen from its petals.
Emerald: In seasons when it produces more pollen, the air around a VILEPLUME turns yellow with the powder as it walks. The pollen is highly toxic and causes paralysis.
Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum: Its petals are the largest in the world. As it walks, it scatters extremely allergenic pollen.
BTB: Its record-breaking petals are fiendishly flapping a flood of finely-poisoned pollen so it can eat you. Yikes!
