Contents |
Biology
Physiology
Meganium is a sauropod-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous evolutions, Chikorita and Bayleef, it has two stem-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower with white tips.
Gender differences
A female Meganium has shorter antenna.
Special abilities
The aroma emanating from Meganium's petals soothes anyone that comes in contact with it. It calms aggressive feelings. In battle, Meganium uses this scent to calm its opponent and remove any desire for it to fight, giving it the upper hand. Meganium's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.

- The pattern in Meganium's flower in the sprites of Pokémon Gold and Silver was different than the one in the official artwork. This was corrected in Pokémon Crystal.
Origin
This Pokémon has the appearance of a sauropod, particularly resembling an apatosaurus. Like Tropius, it is clearly resemblant to the Mokele-mbembe.
Name origin
Meganium's name is a combination of mega and geranium. It would seem the feminine name "Megan" (to match Chikorita's "Rita" and Bayleef's "Baylee") is also included.
