Bayleef is a quadrupedal, pale-yellow {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a long neck, red eyes, a short, rounded snout, and a stubby tail. Each foot has a single, light gray nail. Sprouting from its forehead is a green leaf that curves back over its head and around its neck are a series of tightly curled leaves. Inside the leaves are small tree shoots.  

The aroma wafting from the leaves around its neck has a spicy scent and has various beneficial effects on those who inhale it. The fragrance has a combination of energizing, stimulating, and healing effects. Bayleef can be rarely found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, any Pokémon sleeping near Bayleaf will feel invigorated.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>

===Evolution===

Bayleef evolves from {{p|Chikorita}} and evolves into {{p|Meganium}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

Bayleef appears to be based on {{wp|sauropoda|sauropods}}, specifically the ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its vegetable part may be based on the leaves of the {{wp|Laurus nobilis|bay laurel}}, whose oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in {{wp|aromatherapy}}.

Bayleef and Bayleaf derive from ''{{wp|bay leaf}}'', an herb.
