Pokédex entries

Cherrim

Diamond	It blooms during times of strong sunlight. It tries to make up for everything it endured as a bud.
Pearl	It is docile as a bud, but turns cheerful when it blooms. It folds back into a bud if sunlight wanes.
Platinum	If it senses strong sunlight, it opens its folded petals to absorb the sun’s rays with its whole body.
HeartGold SoulSilver	During times of strong sunlight, its bud blooms, its petals open fully, and it becomes very active.
Black White Black 2 White 2	If it senses strong sunlight, it opens its folded petals to absorb the sun’s rays with its whole body.
X Omega Ruby	During times of strong sunlight, its bud blooms, its petals open fully, and it becomes very active.
Y Alpha Sapphire	If it senses strong sunlight, it opens its folded petals to absorb the sun’s rays with its whole body.

Overcast Form

Sword	As a bud, it barely moves. It sits still, placidly waiting for sunlight to appear.
Shield	Its folded petals are pretty tough. Bird Pokémon can peck at them all they want, and Cherrim won’t be bothered at all.

Sunshine Form

Sword	After absorbing plenty of sunlight, Cherrim takes this form. It’s full of energy while it’s like this, and its liveliness will go on until sundown.
Shield	The faint scent that emanates from its full blossom entices bug Pokémon to it.
