==History==

==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===

Saur first appeared as a Bulbasaur in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' inside {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s Lab. Red went to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in hopes that the professor would teach him how to be a great Pokémon Trainer, and found a dark, empty laboratory. In one of the Poké Balls on an empty table was Bulbasaur. Professor Oak soon entered and startled Red, causing him to accidentally release all of Professor Oak's Pokémon from his lab. Red was ordered to retrieve Oak's Pokémon, and Bulbasaur was the last one to be found, in the closed [[Viridian Gym]]. Bulbasaur was scared, but Red used calming words to gain his trust, which caught Oak's interest, as in the past Bulbasaur was disobedient to the level of using {{m|Tackle}} on him. Disaster struck though as a wild {{p|Machoke}} appeared and attacked them. When all bets were off, Red took a wild guess and presumed that with the giant seed on Bulbasaur's back being his key trait, exposing him to rays of sunlight would be worth an attempt. He opened the curtains on the window, allowing him to use {{m|Solar Beam}} and defeat the bulky Pokémon in a flash. After the battle, Professor Oak saw the bonding occurring between Bulbasaur and Red, as well as the fact that Bulbasaur had learned how to use Solar Beam, and allowed Red to keep him, along with a [[Pokédex]].

In ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', Saur participated alongside [[Poli]] and [[Pika]] to help Red in his Gym battle to win the {{Badge|Boulder}}. Saur was shown defeating an opponent's {{p|Sandshrew}}. Saur was later seen in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' to fight against [[Misty's Starmie]] in order to win the {{Badge|Cascade}}. Saur attacks with a {{m|Vine Whip}} attack but {{p|Starmie}} shrugs it off and defeats him with {{m|Bubble Beam}}.

He [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' at the gates of [[Celadon City]] when he battled an attacking {{p|Primeape}}. {{adv|Green}}, distracting Red with fake applause for this evolution, sold Red a bunch of fake items that did nothing but hinder him. Red proceeded to give chase on Green to get his money back, while Green used the opportunity to steal Red's two Badges. However, a chain of events unfolded in the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]] that left Red (disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}) and Green allied. Saur's Vine Whip was used to try to capture the {{adv|Mew}} that appeared before them. After they managed to save Mew from being caught by the Rockets.

In ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', Saur is accidentally [[trade]]d to {{adv|Blue}} alongside Poli and Pika. During the three days that Blue has them he trains them vigorously. They later traded back, while keeping the serious attitude that Blue installed in them.

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===

In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', Saur participated in Red's test to become [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym Leader]]. Saur first goes up against a {{p|Pineco}}, which he swiftly knocks out, as well as his next two opponents, a {{p|Forretress}} and another Pineco. However, the fourth opponent, another Forretress, resorts to its {{m|Spikes}} and puts up a fair fight against Saur. Red commands Saur to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, then promptly switches him out for Snor.

==Personality and characteristics==

Prior to joining {{adv|Red}}'s team, Saur was a timid Pokémon due to never seeing anyone other than {{adv|Professor Oak}} and would attack when startled. Upon leaving the lab, Saur quickly develops a close bond with Red and gets over his shyness. The two of them share a close bond and can even formulate plans without the use of words, as shown in their battle against [[Lt. Surge]] and {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Zapdos}}.
