Cherubi is one of the few in Pokemon GO with a single evolution and two forms: Cherrim Sunshine and Cherrim Overcast. In the franchise, once you evolved Cherubi into Cherrim, the Pokemon changed based on the weather. When it’s Sunny, you’ll see Sunshine. Otherwise, your companion would remain Overcast. However, that’s different in Pokemon GO. So, we’ll show you how the Cherubi evolutions work in the mobile game.
Cherubi Evolution: Cherrim Sunshine and Overcast in Pokemon GO
Cherubi is a Grass-type Pokemon introduced in Generation IV during Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. They are a charming, ball-shaped companion with a smaller version attached to its stem. Once evolved, Cherubi turns into Cherrim, a flower-like Pokemon. Here is where things take a turn.
Once you learn how to get the Cherubi evolution in Pokemon GO, you will see Cherrim Sunshine or Cherrim Overcast. You will never get both since Cherubi only undergoes a single evolution. Cherrim Sunshine lives up to the name. They are excitable and brightly colored, resembling a flower in bloom. However, Cherrim Overcast hides away, closing up like a tulip bud.
Once you get the Cherubi evolution, there’s no difference between Cherrim Overcast and Sunshine in Pokemon GO. The stats remain the same. It’s all aesthetic. Even so, it’s fun to have both forms for collecting purposes.
The question remains: can you choose what Cherubi evolves into in Pokemon GO? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Cherubi’s evolution into either Cherrim Overcast or Sunshine is a randomized process.

To see Cherubi’s evolution in Pokemon GO and get Cherrim Sunshine or Overcast, you’ll first need to gather 50 Cherubi Candies. When you do, just hit the “Evolve” button. From there, you will get Cherrim Sunshine or Cherrim Overcast. If you don’t get the evolution form you want, you’ll have to continue to evolve your Cherubi until you do.
It can take some time and effort on your end. So, it benefits you to gather as many Cherubi Candies as possible, an easy process during the Sustainability Week since Cherubi has an increased chance of hatching from 7km eggs. Remember that you can use things like the Pinap Berries whenever you encounter a wild Cherubi to increase how many Candies you receive. Also, transfer the Cherubi that you don’t need to get extra Candy for their evolution into Cherrim Sunshine or Overcast in Pokemon GO.
No matter the case, when you get Cherrim, you can benefit from the following:
Base Stats
- Attack: 170
- Defense: 153
- Stamina: 172

- Fast Attacks
- Bullet Speed
