Bellsprout (Japanese: マダツボミ Madatsubomi) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Weepinbell starting at level 21, which evolves into Victreebel when exposed to a Leaf Stone.

Biology

Bellsprout is a plant-based Pokémon with a stem-like brown body. There is a single green leaf on each side of its body. It has a yellow bell-shaped head with what appear to be pink lips at the end and beady black eyes. It is capable of spitting corrosive acid from its mouth. Its stem is long, thin and very flexible, making it capable of swerving rapidly to avoid many attacks or moving with blinding speed to capture prey. Its roots resemble feet, and it uses them as such. It will plant its roots in the ground to replenish water, but it is unable to flee while it is rooted. Bellsprout prefers hot and humid places, thus it lives in temperate forests and jungles.

In the anime

Trivia

Origin

Bellsprout may be based on carnivorous pitcher plants, particularly those of the Nepenthes genus.

Name origin

Bellsprout is a combination of bell (referring to its bell-like head) and sprout (referring to it being relatively young in its evolutionary line).

Madatsubomi can be taken to mean まだ蕾 (still [a] flower bud).
