Cherubi (Japanese: チェリンボ Cherinbo) is a Grass-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Cherubi is a small, pink Pokémon that resembles a cherry, hence its name. Cherubi has a smaller berry attached to it, that helps it grow. Cherubi's body has a single dark line running over the middle of its head and two, stubby pointed legs. The smaller cherry's eyes appear closed. It is said that when the berry wilts, evolution is near.
Behavior
Cherubi love sunny weather. The bigger ball gets nutrients from the smaller one. When one evolves, the smaller ball shrivels.
When Cherubi are born, they initially have two equally-sized heads. However, as they grow, the two heads compete for dominance, as they cannot photosynthesize enough nutrients to support them both. Eventually, one wins out, and the other withers away into a vestigial ball. The remaining heads then use their siblings to supplement their growth; the smaller heads are sweet and packed with nutrients, making them very popular treats for avian Pokémon like Starly. Though Cherubi can survive without their second heads, their growth will be severely stunted without the extra nutrients; thus, they protect these heads very fiercely, dashing away from would-be predators with surprising speed.
If they don’t get enough sunlight, their vivid red coloration will dull, though it will intensify as they approach evolution. Once Cherubi have drained all of the nutrients they can from their second heads, they will bud and the heads will wither away; Cherubi are ready for evolution at this time.
They are often seen on tree branches on warm, sunny days. They are attracted to Combee honey, but consuming too much can make them ill.
Evolution
At level 25, Cherubi evolves into Cherrim.
