Saur: Difference between revisions

'''Saur''' (Japanese: '''フッシー''' ''Fusshi'') was the third [[Pokémon]] obtained by {{Special|Red}}. He received it from [[Professor Oak]] in the [[Pokémon Special]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

Saur was given to Red when he accidentally released all of Professor Oak's Pokémon from his lab. After Red caught back all of his Pokémon, Red found Saur in [[Viridian Gym]]. Disaster struck as a wild {{p|Machoke}} appeared and attacked them. After the battle, Professor Oak saw the bonding between Saur and Red, as well as the fact that Saur learned how to use {{m|SolarBeam}}, and allowed him to keep him. He evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' at the gates of [[Celadon City]], when he battled an attacking {{p|Primeape}}. Saur was temporarily under {{Special|Green}}'s ownership by accident when Red and Green's Poké Balls were swapped. He evolved again in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', when he, [[Green's Charizard]], and [[Blasty]] were battling [[Zapmolcuno|the merged version]] of {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Articuno}}. Red told Saur to keep attacking when he evolved. At the Pokémon League, he was the first Pokémon he sent out against {{Special|Green}}. In the end, along with [[Poli]] and [[Pika]], he was able to defeat Green's Charizard. In the [[Sevii Islands]], Saur learned the move exclusive to the Grass-type starter families, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

* Saur was {{Special|Red}}'s third known Pokémon, after [[Poli]] and {{p|Nidorino}}, even though he's a [[starter Pokémon]].
