Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a seed in the center of its flower.

A female Venusaur has a {{wp|gynoecium}} in the center of its flower.


Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. [[EP051|In the anime]], Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

Venusaur has two forms: Mega Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.
Venusaur has two forms: Mega Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.


When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], the flower on Venusaur's back grows larger, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Its legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower. Additional leaves with woody stems, which are supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.

As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, to the point of covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud, along with extremely thick and springy petals that are capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk that supports said flower becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.

Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can spread enough pollen in a similar fashion to a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-venusaur/ Gigantamax Venusaur | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

=====[[May's Venusaur]]=====
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Venusaur during her absence from the anime.

Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Venusaur evolved from Ivysaur after they traveled to a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, which was under construction in [[Vermilion City]], so they could absorb the sunlight needed for the evolution process.
 
====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', a giant robot Venusaur was at [[Pokémon Land]].
 
In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusory Venusaur to frighten [[Ash's Bulbasaur]].

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Venusaur during her absence from the anime. She was briefly seen facing off against a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s {{p|Marill}} in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the [[Wallace Cup]].
=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', a Venusaur was the leader of an evolution ceremony for Bulbasaur. It appeared again in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', during a flashback.
A Venusaur [[nickname]]d Bruteroot appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Corey]]. It was taken away from her by one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.

In ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', {{OBP|Jeremy|AG151}}'s Venusaur was used during the second half of the {{ka|Silver Town}} [[Pokémon Contest]]. Jeremy's Venusaur, which knew {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, came very close to defeating [[May's Combusken]], but the Young Fowl Pokémon came through and pulled off a come-from-behind victory.
[[Spenser]] has a Venusaur that first appeared in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. Spenser had Venusaur use {{m|Sweet Scent}} to drive away the furious {{p|Beedrill}}.

In ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', [[Nihei]]'s male Venusaur appeared in a fantasy. He made his physical debut in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]''. Nihei used Venusaur in a battle against [[Sanpei]] and his Greninja and won. In ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', Venusaur was used to battle the ninja army's Pokémon and was able to defeat a {{p|Gengar}}.
In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Venusaur was one of the ten Mega Evolved Pokémon that [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} had to defeat. It was Alain's first opponent, putting up a tough match, but it was eventually defeated.
In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s male Venusaur was the third Pokémon he used in his [[Full Battle]] against Ash. He went up against {{AP|Rowlet}}, defeating it before losing to {{AP|Torracat}}.
In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Venusaur evolved from Ivysaur after they traveled to a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, which was under construction in [[Vermilion City]], so they could absorb the sunlight needed for the evolution process.
====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', a giant robot Venusaur was at [[Pokémon Land]].
In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusory Venusaur to frighten [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Venusaur with an illusory {{p|Blastoise}} to create a {{DL|Variant Pokémon|Venustoise}}, which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur to the point where they did not want to battle anymore.
Venusaur made its physical debut in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.
In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', a Venusaur sensed the disturbance caused by [[Lawrence III]].

====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''

Now, that's got to be intimidating!''

===Origin===
===Origin===
According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-evolutions were inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads. It also shares similarities with the extinct {{wp|Pareiasaur}}.

Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads. Due to the English name of this Pokémon containing the suffix "-saur", it is common for some fans to believe that this Pokémon is based on some prehistoric reptile. However, this Pokémon's original Japanese name, Fushigibana, makes no reference to reptiles, so believing that Venusaur is based on some reptile should be considered erroneous and false.
