Cherrim

Cherrim's weather-driven forms

Cherrim spends most of its time in a quiet Overcast Form, but strong sunlight triggers a quick, excitable shift into its Sunshine Form as it absorbs the rays with its whole body. Once the light fades it folds back into a bud. A glitch in Legends: Arceus version 1.0.1 briefly made wild Sunshine Form Cherrim uncatchable before being patched in version 1.0.2.

Cherrim's cards across the eras

Cherrim debuted in Diamond and Pearl in 2007, illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, who returned for a POP Series 8 Uncommon the next year. Suwama Chiaki, Saya Tsuruta and Midori Harada each illustrated Cherrim during the Diamond and Pearl era, including a Rare from Arceus. Later cards include a Plasma Storm Rare by Kagemaru Himeno, an Ultra Prism Uncommon by MAHOU, and a 2021 Battle Styles Holo Rare illustrated by Mina Nakai.
