Sword It nimbly dashes about to avoid getting pecked by bird Pokémon that would love to make off with its small, nutrient-rich storage ball.
Shield The deeper a Cherubi’s red, the more nutrients it has stockpiled in its body. And the sweeter and tastier its small ball!
Brilliant Diamond The small ball holds the nutrients needed for evolution. Apparently, it is very sweet and tasty.
Shining Pearl Sunlight colors it red. When the small ball is drained of nutrients and shriveled, evolution is near.
Legends: Arceus Once the fruit growing alongside the main body is large and plump, Cherubi will use the nutrients within to evolve. The fruit then detaches, becoming nourishment for other creatures.
