This card was initially created for {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for the [[Game Boy Color]]. In Japan, a physical print was made available as an {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards|Unnumbered Promotional card}} in copies of the ''[[Pokémon Card GB Official Guidebook]]'', released on January 28, 1999. This print features a "GB" symbol in place of an expansion symbol, referencing its ties to the Game Boy title. The English version of the card was included in copies of the ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', released on March 31, 2000.

*The Card GB version of this card was intended to be exclusive to [[Card Pop!]] but a programming error means the card is unobtainable.

*This was an [[orphaned card]] for a time when it came to the {{TCG|Modified format}} due to the only {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bulbasaur|44}} card at the time being in the first {{TCG|rotation}}. It would not be fully playable in the format until a Bulbasaur was printed in {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}.

{{a|Solar Power}} is an [[Ability]] later introduced in the [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon games]] that {{p|Venusaur}} cannot have; however, the Japanese names are different, making the two unrelated. {{m|Mega Drain}} is a [[move]] in the Pokémon games that Venusaur could learn via [[TM21]] in [[Generation I]]. The card's English [[Pokédex]] entry comes from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, whereas the Japanese entry comes from {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
