'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Meganium is a sauropod-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous forms, {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Bayleef}}, it has two stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped with its own anther. Also unlike its previous evolutions, its irises are yellow instead of red, and its feet have three toes instead of a single one. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower, with a yellow central pattern and white tips. Meganium has also reverted back to the color it was as a Chikorita, whilst Bayleef's main body color had become a beige-yellow coloration.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
A female Meganium has shorter antennae.<br />
<br />
====Special abilities====<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Since Meganium is a fully evolved Pokémon and the final evolution of a Grass-type [[starter Pokémon]], it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Meganium appear to be a very benevolent and docile species. In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', Nurse Joy's Meganium was a peacemaker and tried to stop the battle between {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle}} and a {{p|Tropius}}. It was also shown that Meganium could heal Grovyle prior to the battle, however this may be isolated to {{type2|Grass}}s as Meganium is able to heal hurt or dead plants.<br />

===Major appearances===<br />
====[[Casey's Meganium]]====<br />
{{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Bayleef}} evolved into Meganium sometime before ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.<br />
<br />
====[[Vincent's Meganium]]====<br />
{{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}} had a heated battle with [[Vincent]]'s {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}} in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. Vincent also used his Meganium to help save {{p|Raikou}} in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.<br />
<br />
====Other====<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
An [[Officer Jenny]] from ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' had Meganium on her squad.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG106|Beg, Burrow and Steal]]'', [[Elisa]] used her Meganium to stop a {{p|Donphan}} from chasing {{Ho|Hal}} and to help stop [[Team Rocket]] from stealing the {{p|Vibrava}}.<br />
<br />
A [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' had a Meganium, which became the object of affection for both {{AP|Ash's Grovyle|Sceptile}} and a wild {{p|Tropius}}.<br />
<br />
A Meganium appeared in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, {{adv|Crystal}}'s [[Megaree|Bayleef]] evolved into Meganium to protect {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and herself from {{p|Lugia}}. In this new stage, it was able to help the other two starters (who had also evolved) defend their trainers from this imminent threat and carried Crystal on its back with its increased speed and size, and then participated in the conclusive battle against the [[Masked Man]], revealed to be [[Pryce]], trying to take down the evil mastermind but being subdued by his nimble ice puppets and doing little good in the battle.<br />
<br />
Much later, it is revealed to have learned the {{type|Grass}} ultimate attack, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, between the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} and {{chap|Emerald}}s, and helped destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s humongous, fake Kyogre.<br />
<br />
[[Kimberly]] also has a Meganium that she uses to demonstrate Frenzy Plant's destructive capacities with.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* The pattern in Meganium's flower in the sprites of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} was different than the one in the official artwork and had only five petals. This was corrected in {{game|Crystal}}.<br />
** In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Meganium appears to have a small ruff on its neck. This does not appear in later games.<br />
* Meganium's evolutionary line contains the only [[starter Pokémon]], not including {{p|Pikachu}}, that keeps its Japanese name in English versions.<br />
* Meganium shares the same base stats with {{p|Venusaur}}, just in a different order.<br />
* Despite its Pokédex entries stating that it creates a fragrance that can calm emotions, Meganium and its pre-evolutions could not learn {{m|Sweet Scent}} by level-up until [[Generation IV]].<br />
