Venusaur (Japanese: フシギバナ Fushigibana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Ivysaur starting at level 32. It is the final form of Bulbasaur.

Venusaur has two other forms.

Venusaur is the game mascot of both Pokémon Green and LeafGreen, appearing on the box art of both.

Biology

Venusaur with its bulb closed

Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal amphibian Pokémon 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.

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. In the anime, Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit grasslands.

As Mega Venusaur, the flower on its 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.

Gigantamax Venusaur using G-Max Vine Lash

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.[1]

Gigantamax Venusaur is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Vine Lash.

Along with Ash's Charizard and Neesha's 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.

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 SolarBeam move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.

Now, that's got to be intimidating!

Trivia

Venusaur in Pokémon Battle Chess

Origin

According to Ken Sugimori in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-evolutions were inspired by frogs.[2] In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the Thick Fat Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble 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 Pareiasaur.

The flower on its back resembles the Rafflesia arnoldii.

Name origin

Venusaur may be a combination of Venus (referring to the Venus flytrap plant) or venom and dinosaur.

Fushigibana may be a combination of 不思議 fushigi (strange; mysterious) and 花 hana (flower).
