Cherubi (Japanese: チェリンボ Cherinbo) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Cherubi has a round, deep-pink body with two stubby feet. It has beady eyes, and a purple-red stripe running down part of its face. Cherubi has a short stem with two big, green leaves and a second, much smaller head growing out of it. This second head contains nutrients needed for Cherubi's growth (somewhat similar to Azurill). When Cherubi is about to evolve, the second head starts to wilt.

Gender differences

None.

Trivia

Origin

It appears that Cherubi is based on a cherry.

Name origin

Cherubi's name is a combination of "cherry", and cherubic, which can mean "innocent" or "childlike". The rubi in its name may also be from ruby, a shade of red. Cherinbo's name is based off the English word cherry and the Japanese word for cherry, 桜桃 (sakuranbo). Its German name, Kikugi, comes from Kirsche and Kugel. Its French name, Ceribou, comes from cerise.
