Just to add some more: Bellicoars (Bell + Bellicose + Coarse); Treecubell (Truculent + Tree + Bell); Vinedibell (Vindictive + Bell); Putreebell (Putrid + Bell); Flerocibel (Flora + Ferocious + Bell).

There is this one genus of pitcher plants related to the cobra lily called sun pitchers, or Heliamphora. (Even though 'Helia' in the name actually refers to 'marsh', not 'sun') Maybe we can call it Heliabell?

Or just Heliobell since that does come from the sun root.

But the reference to the sun pitchers will be completely lost, some people could just assume that 'Helio' refers to the Greek term for sun, which, in my opinion, is a much less creative way to go. Plus, Heliabell sounds more feminine than Heliobell.

I like ShinE's "Putreebell". It fits nicely with the other evolution.

My Suggestions:
Delitot
Velvetooie

That's a good point Trapinch. Putreebell would be a good name. I think we're over-complicating the names a bit with all this genus talk.

I think this is a record for Pokéfactory on the longest name suggestions for a single pokémon!

I agree with Trapinch that Victreebel and Putreebell fit each other well. Also, I like using "putrid"; not only does it allow for cramming in "tree" like in Victreebel, but "putrid" can also mean both foul-smelling/rotten and rotten in a moral sense, which fits this pokémon's possibly aggressive nature. This name would definitely make it Grass/Poison-type ^-^

As much as Putreebell makes sense, why would it be putrid?....I imagined it attracted insects with a sweet smell, not a smell of rotting meat. Indeed, it should be agressive---or, at least irritable. But rotten, morally---that seems extreme. I think it becomes stressed out when insects buzz around it too much without being lured into its throat, so it shoots out a glob of Sticky Sap from its fangs, trapping them in the substance so it can swallow the bothersome prey. No dirty (rotten) tricks, just a technique for for when it is irritated.

Indeed, this is the longest name suggestions for a single suggestion, to my knowledge---and I have not added the names offered on this page yet.

It does make sense if we keep carrion flowers (aka stinking flowers) in mind. Such flowers indeed stink like rotting flesh, and attract scavenging flies and beetles as their pollinators. Check the info on such flowers out here.
Personally, I kinda like Putreebell with such a smell. It makes it stand out more, opposing it to Victreebel's sweet scent. Kinda like opposing Vileplume and Bellossom.

I still like Gardibel, but this is almost as good. And it does have the "ee" sound.

O...kay, that's quite an idea, but now that it stinks like rotting flesh, Aromatherapy doesn't fit in that movelist anymore. Or as an alternative, we could just compress it into this:
-Vine Whip
-Sticky Sap
-Razor Leaf
-Sunny Day
27-Nectar Bomb
47-Power Whip
47-SolarBeam

An also, here's a prototype Sticky Sap:
Sticky Sap

Power: --
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
The foe cannot switch out as long as the user remains in battle.

Yes, that is a perfect description of Sticky Sap---perhaps further suggestions could have this useful Grass-type Mean Look implemented...

(EDIT: Perhaps this should have the same data as Sticky Mud?)

The think I dislike about making this pokemon based on a carrion flower is that Gloom and Vileplume are based on them, and although they're counterparts I would prefer for them to be a bit more different. Also, it looks nothing like any of the species of carrion flowers.

True, but Gloom evolves into a rather pretty flower that, to my knowledge, doesn't stink. It's like a mirror evolution thing we've got goin' on, baby!

Delitot

Although I would prefer the fragrant path, I am fine with making it stink terribly if others prefer. Perhaps a compromise: It typically sports an alluring scent, but when disturbed emits a smell of decay?

That sounds like plan to me, Coolsteph.

When life gives you lemons, you steal the sugar and put it on salt shakers.

Right?

Possible Pokédex data:

It typically sports an alluring scent, but when disturbed it emits a smell like decaying meat. (94)

It is a patient hunter, but will shoot a glob of sticky sap at its prey if stressed from waiting. (97)

(short, I know...but it was difficult to phrase the statements coherently within the limits.)

Those are good pokedex entries, Coolsteph.
