This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Describing Gossifleur's appearance

Gossifleur prefers living in lands with clean water and air. The pollen it produces has a healing effect, and it used to be made into a tea as a common folk remedy given to sick children in the Galar Region. Gossifleur can travel long distances by riding the wind, controling which direction it goes by twisting its body and petals. While it travels, it starts to sing a joyous song that is said to charm many people into raising it. Glossifleur can anchor itself to the ground in order to bask in the sunlight. When it absorbs enough sunlight, it spreads its petals as it blooms brilliantly.

Trivia

• Gossifleur shares its category with Lilligant. They are both known as the Flowering Pokémon.
• Gossifleur is tied with Ferroseed for the lowest base Speed stat of all Grass-type Pokémon.

Origin

Gossifleur may be based on the windflower, which is common in the British Isles. It may also be a reference to a variety of folk songs and poems dedicated to this plant.

Name origin

Gossifleur may be a combination of Gossypium (the cotton plant genus) and fleur (French for flower). It may also involve gossamer (light, delicate, silky).

Himenka may be a combination of 姫 hime (princess; petite), 綿花 menka (raw cotton), and 花 ka (flower).
