Venusaur (Japanese: フシギバナ Fushigibana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Ivysaur starting at level 32. It is the final form of Bulbasaur.

Venusaur has two other forms.

Venusaur is the game mascot of both Pokémon Green and LeafGreen, appearing on the box art of both.

Biology

Venusaur with its bulb closed

Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal amphibian Pokémon with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes; a short, blunt snout; and a wide mouth with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur will have a seed in the center of its flower.

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. In the anime, Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit grasslands.

As Mega Venusaur, the flower on its back grows larger and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. The weight of the flower causes its legs and back to become sturdier in order to support it. Additional leaves with woody stems, which are supported by vines, are grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower.

As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, to the point of covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud, along with extremely thick and springy petals that are capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur and deflecting halfhearted attacks. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk that supports said flower becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly. Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can spread enough pollen in a similar fashion to a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.[1]

Gigantamax Venusaur is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Vine Lash.

Major appearances

A Venusaur nicknamed Bruteroot appeared in Mewtwo Strikes Back and its remake Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, under the ownership of Corey. It was taken away from her by one of Mewtwo's special Poké Balls but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with Ash's Charizard and Neesha's Blastoise, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in Mewtwo Returns. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in I Choose You!, where it was seen battling Neesha's Blastoise; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.

In Weekend Warrior, Jeremy's Venusaur was used during the second half of the Silver Town Pokémon Contest. Jeremy's Venusaur, which knew Frenzy Plant, came very close to defeating May's Combusken, but the Young Fowl Pokémon came through and pulled off a come-from-behind victory.

Spenser has a Venusaur that first appeared in Cutting the Ties that Bind. Spenser had Venusaur use Sweet Scent to drive away the furious Beedrill. Venusaur was the second Pokémon that the Palace Maven used in his battle with Ash at the Battle Palace in Ka Boom with a View!. The Seed Pokémon won against Heracross, but lost to his Swellow. It reappeared in a flashback in King and Queen for a Day!.

In A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!, Nihei's male Venusaur appeared in a fantasy. He made his physical debut in The Legend of the Ninja Hero!. Nihei used Venusaur in a battle against Sanpei and his Greninja and won. In A Festival of Decisions!, Venusaur was used to battle the ninja army's Pokémon and was able to defeat a Gengar.

In Mega Evolution Special IV, a Trainer's Venusaur was one of the ten Mega Evolved Pokémon that Alain and his Charizard had to defeat. It was Alain's first opponent, putting up a tough match, but it was eventually defeated.

In A Full Battle Bounty!, Professor Kukui's male Venusaur was the third Pokémon he used in his Full Battle against Ash. He went up against Rowlet, defeating it before losing to Torracat.

In Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!, multiple Venusaur evolved from Ivysaur after they traveled to a new Gym, which was under construction in Vermilion City, so they could absorb the sunlight needed for the evolution process.

Trivia

Venusaur in Pokémon Battle Chess
  • Venusaur shares its height (6'7"/2.0 m), weight (220.5 lbs./100.0 kg) and Egg Groups (Monster and Grass) with another Grass-type Pokémon, Tropius.
  • Venusaur's evolutionary family is the only starter Pokémon evolutionary family to have the Poison type.
    • Venusaur's evolutionary family is also the only starter Pokémon evolutionary family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
  • Venusaur's number in the National Pokédex and the Fiore Browser are the same: 003.
  • Due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, a Venusaur with an English name could not be traded on the GTS without a nickname in Generation V.
  • Venusaur shares its category with its pre-evolved forms and Sunkern. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
  • If the player chooses Charmander as their starter in Pokémon Red, Blue, FireRed, or LeafGreen, it is impossible to get Venusaur registered in the Pokédex without trading, as no NPC in said games uses a Venusaur under this condition.
  • Venusaur shares the same base stat values with Meganium, except for its base Defense and Special Attack stats, which are flipped with each other. The same holds true for the other members of their respective evolutionary lines.
  • Venusaur appears in Pokémon Battle Chess. It behaves like the rook piece in chess.

Origin

According to Ken Sugimori in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-evolutions were inspired by frogs.[2] Indeed, Venusaur's large, rounded snout; wide mouth; wide-set eyes; bumpy, wart-like skin; and quadruped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the common toad or the Colorado River toad, both of which are toads that exude toxins from their parotoid glands. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads. It also shares similarities with the extinct Pareiasaur.

The flower on its back resembles the Rafflesia arnoldii.

Name origin

Venusaur may be a combination of Venus (referring to the Venus flytrap plant) or venom and -saur (common suffix used in the names of extinct reptilian creatures that is derived from the Ancient Greek word for lizard).

Fushigibana may be a combination of 不思議 fushigi (strange; mysterious) and 花 hana (flower).
