(Japanese: チュリネ Churine) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Doredia when exposed to a Sun Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Churine is a plant-like, Grass-type Pokémon, primarily yellow-green in coloration. Its head’s rounded shape and striations causes it to resemble a plant bulb, such as an onion. Its head is tipped with three oblong leaves, and its crescent-shaped white face, seemingly lacking of a nose or mouth, has brown eyes shaped like elongated, vertical ovals. A green "bib" feature is present on its neck, and its lower body consists of yellow ruffles.

Gender differences

Churine is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Special abilities

The leaves on its head are bitter but have a revitalization effect on others.

Habitat

It lives in areas with soil abundant in moisture and nutrients.
