Sunshine Cherrim's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Sunshine Cherrim's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Cherrim's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Cherrim is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Pokédex Entries for Cherrim

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Sunshine

Sword
After absorbing plenty of sunlight, Cherrim takes this form. It's full of energy while it's like this, and its liveliness will go on until sundown.
Shield
The faint scent that emanates from its full blossom entices bug Pokémon to it.

Overcast

Sword
As a bud, it barely moves. It sits still, placidly waiting for sunlight to appear.
Shield
Its folded petals are pretty tough. Bird Pokémon can peck at them all they want, and Cherrim won't be bothered at all.
