Where to find Gloom

Gloom can appear as a wild Pokémon on Black Forest. See how to catch a Pokémon.

Gloom can hatch from a Jungle Egg or a Bloom Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Jungle Egg can drop on Black Forest, Safari Zone, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Legend of Dawn. The Bloom Egg can drop on Black Forest, Lava Beach, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
