Venusaur (Japanese: フシギバナ Fushigibana, German: Bisaflor, French: Florizarre, Korean: 이상해꽃 Isanghaekkoch) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon.

Venusaur comes with the Ability Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Venusaur evolves from Ivysaur starting at Level 32.

Name origin

Venusaur's name is a combination of the words venus and saur, which is Greek for lizard. Its Japanese name is a pun on 不思議な花 fushigi na hana, strange flower.

Although the flower on Venusaur's back does not look like a Venus Flytrap, this Pokémon does rememble the dinosaurs of the Triassic period, as do its pre-evolutions Bulbasaur and Ivysaur.
