Carnivine (Japanese: マスキッパ Muskippa) is a Grass-type Pokémon. It is available in Generation IV games.

Biology

Physiology

Its appearance is based off of a Venus Flytrap. Instead of having legs like other Grass Pokémon (like Bellsprout), it has vines attached to the end of its stem, giving them the appearance of tentacles. The leaves act as arms, and the inside of its mouth secretes a sweet-smelling saliva, which it uses to attract prey.

Gender differences

None.
