A sextet of Bellsprout is seen in Template:PSV during Gold's visit to Sprout Tower. Gold is attacked by the monks and their Bellsprout in an attempt to convince him to join their group. The excellent teamwork of the Bellsprout manages to make short work of Gold's Aipom, only to lose to Gold's Cyndaquil when it incinerates them from below.

Trivia

• Bellsprout shares the same species name with Vileplume and Bellossom. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.

Origin

Bellsprout and its evolutions may be based upon carnivorous pitcher plants.

Name origin

Bellsprout's name seems to be be a combination of bell, referring to its bell-like head, and sprout, referring to it being relatively young in its evolutionary line. Madatsubomi can be taken to mean まだ蕾, still (a) flower bud.
