Victreebel is a plant {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a bell-shaped body. It has a gaping mouth with pink lips and two sharp teeth. Its semicircular eyes appear directly under its mouth and it has several dark green spots on its body. On either side of its body is a large green leaf. Covering Victreebel's mouth is a leaf with a long, brown, yellow-tipped vine growing out of it. The vine is flicked to mimic an animal in order to attract prey. Victreebel also produces a sweet scent to further aid in luring its victims. Acid that has dissolved numerous prey animals becomes sweeter and even more effective at attracting prey.

It can be found in small groups and is territorial. [[PS022|In the manga]], Victreebel hoards food, usually small birds and rodents, and collects [[Leaf Stone]]s to perform [[evolution]] rituals at night to help {{p|Weepinbell}} become more Victreebel. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Victreebel is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}.

[[James]] had two separate Victreebel ([[trade]]d for each other in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]''), both of which evolved from {{p|Weepinbell}} while in his possession.

* In [[Generation I]], Victreebel has the highest index number of all non-[[glitch Pokémon]].

Victreebel may be based on carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s.

Victreebel seems to be a combination of ''victory'' (corrupted to make a pun on ''tree'') and ''bell'' (referring to its bell-like shape). The maximum number of characters possible to make up a Pokémon's name in [[Generation I]] was ten, and this is likely the reason for the misspelling of ''bell'' as ''bel''.

Utsubot is derived from 靫葛 ''utsubokazura'' (pitcher plant). It may also be based on 壷 ''tsubo'' (jar) or ポット ''pot'' (relative to ''bot''), referring to its shape. It could also draw from ''botanical''.
