May's Venusaur (Japanese: ハルカのフシギバナ Haruka's Fushigibana) was the fourth Pokémon caught by May during her travels through Hoenn. She was captured as a Bulbasaur along the way to Fortree City in a place known as the Forbidden Forest. As a Bulbasaur, she is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō in the Japanese version, and by Tara Jayne in English.
History
Bulbasaur was captured in Grass Hysteria, although she had been featured in the series opening, Challenger!!, for a short while before that. May was kidnapped by a hungry Skarmory and ended up lost in a place called the Forbidden Forest, a preserve for Template:Type2 Pokémon. There, she met a clumsy Bulbasaur trying to pick flowers. Bulbasaur warmed up to May after she saved the little Grass-type from a fall. The other Grass-type Pokémon acted very hostile, though, and repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to Venusaur, the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her.
As a Bulbasaur, she was distinctive from Ash's Bulbasaur in two ways. One, she had a gentler personality and a pair of heart-shaped spots on her forehead. Her second main distinction from Ash's was her knowledge of the move Petal Dance as opposed to Ash's Bulbasaur's use of the technique SolarBeam.
She is also very fond of flowers. She became friends with Ash's Bulbasaur when Ash brought it to Hoenn temporarily in Hokey Poké Balls!, and further bonded with it in The Right Place at the Right Mime, when May decided to leave her at Professor Oak's ranch. Eventually, after journeying to Johto, May got Bulbasaur back from Oak, and during her time away from Ash, it evolved twice into Ivysaur and Venusaur.
She debuted as a Venusaur in Pruning a Passel of Pals, where she defeated a Marill for May in the second battle round of the Wallace Cup. Not much is known about Venusaur since she only had a small cameo appearance.

Trivia
- May capturing her Bulbasaur in a preserved location for Template:Type2 Pokémon may be a reference to Ash's Bulbasaur who was captured in the Hidden Village in Kanto.
- Like Ash from Kanto has Sceptile, a fully-evolved Template:Type2 starter Pokémon from Hoenn, May from Hoenn has Venusaur, the fully-evolved Grass starter from Kanto.
- May's Venusaur is the only starter Pokémon owned by a member of the main cast that is seen in its final form and unevolved form, but never in its middle form.
- As of Venusaur, the entire set of fully evolved Kanto starter Pokémon is now owned by regular characters: May owns Venusaur, Ash owns Charizard, and Gary owns Blastoise.
- Venusaur shares many similarities to Paul's Torterra. They are both in the final stages of the Grass type starter Pokémon from their respective regions. They have also been seen only in their first and final forms, not their middle forms, quite often in one, and only through a cameo/flashback in the other. They also are the final forms of Pokémon that Ash has that were in their basic forms at the time when the fully evolved Pokémon was introduced.
- It is never directly stated that Venusaur was in fact the same Bulbasaur from Hoenn. It was never directly stated like May's Squirtle.
- If, for some odd reason, it is the case that they are different Pokémon, then Bulbasaur's gender was never truly confirmed.
