Template:Spaceworld Infobox
Bayleef (Japanese: ハナモグラ Hanamogura) is a Grass-type Pokémon from the 1997 Spaceworld demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver.
It evolves from Chikorita at an unknown level and evolves into Meganium starting at level 32.
Bayleef was in the final version of the game.
Biology
Bayleef appeared radically different in the demo than in the final game. Rather than appearing as an intermediate stage between Chikorita and Meganium as its final design did, Bayleef barely resembled its evolutionary relatives. It resembled a green blooming flower, with a head in the middle. The head had three stamens sprouting from the top of its head, with anthers at their tips. There were two nubs on the sides of its head that resembled small stubby arms. Below its face was a marking which resembled an eye. The petals of the flower-like body were pointed upwards, and each petal had three spots on it. The stem of the flower was small in comparison to the petals.
