Gossifleur can only be grown in Galar's rainy climate, for exposure to excessive sunlight in the key formative stage causes them to never spread their petals, and attempts to use dim rooms or artificial light have thus far faltered. Yet they are prized as far away as Johto, for their vivid color and well-placed faces add a certain shine to any floral arrangement. It was Gossifleur who sailed alongside the great merchants of the region, Gossifleur exchanged for the tea which today is viewed as quintessentially Galarian – and conversely, Gossifleur which, alongside Bellossom, has become a traditional floral symbol of a land where it can not be found in the wild, its songs echoed on the shamisen.

Yet Gossifleur have rarely been appreciated in their native Galar. It is true that their small size and weight and the esteem they were held in abroad are useful qualities for trade goods, but shipping expenses were also held down by the fact that, locally, they were regarded as weeds and could be obtained nearly for free. Their voices, although in truth usually harmless and at worst a medium-power attack, were likened in folklore to the song of Mismagius. It was once believed that, should a Gossifleur grow too big, it would let out a piercing scream that killed everyone close enough to hear it; only then would it evolve; the souls of its victims, rather than leaving Earth, would be carried forever in Eldegoss' sack.

It is only in this highly international age, where culture spreads easily across continents, that Galarians – influenced in no small part by Johto's global popularity – have come to finally appreciate a pokemon from their own backyards.
