Bayleef (Japanese: ベイリーフ Bayleaf) is a Grass-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Chikorita starting at level 16 and evolves into Meganium starting at level 32.
Biology
Physiology
Bayleef resembles a pale yellow sauropod dinosaur or a lizard. It has curled leaf-like growths, stated to be buds with small tree shoots inside, sprouting in a ring around its neck. A large leaf shaped like a scythe protrudes from its head. It has red eyes, and has one large toenail on each of its four feet. It also has a small tail.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
The aroma wafting from the leaf-like growths around its neck has a spicy, very sharp, distinctive scent, and all nearby Pokémon who inhale it become excited and want to fight. The scent energizes those who smell it, so much that they may even become aggressive.
Behavior
Bayleef are calmer than their previous stage, Chikorita. However, the scent that wafts from their leaves serves to make people excited and can cause them to want to fight.
Habitat
Bayleef are very rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium.

Major appearances
Ash's Chikorita evolved into Bayleef in Current Events. Ash's Bayleef still had the same personality it had when it was still a Chikorita, but it soon mellowed out.
Casey's Chikorita evolved into Bayleef in The Bug Stops Here. It evolved again into a Meganium off screen prior to the events of Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid!.
Pokédex entries
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Megaree
In Pokémon Adventures, Crystal's Chikorita evolves into a Bayleef while defending his Trainer against an attack from an old foe, an impish wild Larvitar. Although it had been such a short while since it had evolved that it didn't know how to restrain the Sweet Scent it gave around it (causing wild Lickitung to gather around it), it evolved with its fellow (and newly reawakened) starter Pokémon in the fight against Lugia in the Whirl Islands.
In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga
In Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys, Gold has a Bayleef that used to belong to Black, but was released by its former Trainer for being too weak. After joining Gold's team, it has been able to defeat strong opponents such as Bugsy's Scyther.

Trivia
- Bayleef is the tallest of the second-stage evolutions of starter Pokémon.
- Bayleef's "necklace" is consistently described as having a spicy aroma, while real bay leaves have a bitter and herbal taste, which is similar to thyme.
Origin
Bayleef is based on a group of dinosaurs called sauropods, specifically the apatosaurus. Its vegetable part is based on the leaves of the bay laurel, which oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in aromatheraphy.
Name origin
Bayleef is a corruption of bay leaf, an herb.
