Cherrim is the Blossom Pokémon — Grass from Cherubi. In Pokémon GO it has Overcast and Sunshine forms; Sunshine can use Weather Ball (Fire). Grass helps against Water, Ground, and Rock; Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug punish it. Evolve Cherubi or catch Cherrim from events.
Say it: CHE-rri-m
Cherrim (#421) is a Grass Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the final form of Cherubi. Trainers use it as a niche Grass attacker (Razor Leaf / Bullet Seed + Weather Ball Fire / Solar Beam / Dazzling Gleam). Form (Overcast vs Sunshine) can change available Weather Ball Fire — check the form you caught. Against Cherrim, lead with Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, or Bug.

Pokédex notes
Cherrim is a Grass-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0421. Grass picks spike during Sunny weather and certain Community Days.
Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events
Invest tip: Razor Leaf + Weather Ball Fire is the fun Sunshine kit when available; Solar Beam is the Grass nuke. Low priority versus stronger Grass attackers. Shadow Cherrim is a novelty — remove Frustration before investing.
