Ivysaur (Japanese: フシギソウ Fushigisou) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon.

Ivysaur comes with the Ability Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Ivysaur evolves from Bulbasaur starting at Level 16, and evolves into Venusaur starting at Level 32.

Biology

Physiology

Ivysaur, like its younger form Bulbasaur, resembles a toad or a dinosaur, though the patches in its skin make it look more like a dinosaur. It has lost the ability to stand on two legs since the bulb on its back has blossomed. Some Ivysaur have been known to grow small fangs.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Much like it's previous form, most of Ivysaur's abilites originate from the plant on it's back. Naturally, these attacks are stronger then Bulbasaur's.

Behavior

Being much more commonly found in captivity then in the wild, Ivysaur's natural behaviour is still largely unknown, but it can be theorized that they are a bit more aggressive then Bulbasaur, although it is still very loyal to it's trainer.

Habitat

Ivysaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water.

Trivia

Origin

Ivysaur appears to be similar to a dinosaur, and may be based off of one. The saur in its English name supports this, since dinosaur names often have saur suffixed.

Name origin

Ivysaur's name is a combination of the words ivy and saur, which is Greek for lizard. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean it seems strange, or 不思議 草 fushigi sou strange grass.

In other languages

• German: Bisaknosp - Derives from Bisamratte (musk rat) and Knospe, (bulb).
• French: Herbizarre - A combination of herb or more probably grass, and bizzare sharing likeness with lizard.
• Korean: 이상해플 Isanghaepul
• Chinese (Taiwan): 妙蛙草 Mìao Wa Câo
• Chinese (Hong Kong): 奇異草 Qí Yì Câo
• Portuguese (Brazil) : Ivyssauro
