May's Venusaur (Japanese: ハルカのフシギバナ Haruka's Fushigibana) was the fourth Pokémon caught by May during her travels through Hoenn. She was captured as a Bulbasaur along the way to Fortree City , in a place known as the Forbidden Forest.
History
Bulbasaur was captured in Grass Hysteria, although she had been featured in the series opening, Challenger!!, for a short while before that. May was kidnapped by a hungry Skarmory and ended up lost in a place called the Forbidden Forest, a preserve for Template:Type2 Pokémon. There, May met a clumsy Bulbasaur trying to pick flowers. Bulbasaur warmed up to May after she saved the little Grass-type from a fall, but the other Grass-type Pokémon repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to Venusaur, the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her.
As a Bulbasaur, she was distinctive from Ash's Bulbasaur in three ways: she had a gentler personality, a pair of heart-shaped spots on her forehead and she was able to use the move Petal Dance as opposed to Ash's Bulbasaur's use of the technique SolarBeam.
She is also very fond of flowers. She became friends with Ash's Bulbasaur when Ash temporarily brought it to Hoenn in Hokey Poké Balls! and further bonded with it in The Right Place at the Right Mime, when May decided to leave her at Professor Oak's ranch. Eventually, after journeying to Johto, May got Bulbasaur back from Oak, and during her time away from Ash, it evolved twice into Ivysaur and Venusaur.
She debuted as a Venusaur in Pruning a Passel of Pals, where she defeated a Marill for May in the second battle round of the Wallace Cup. Not much is known about Venusaur since she only had a small cameo appearance.

Trivia
- May capturing her Bulbasaur in a preserved location for Template:Type2 Pokémon may be a reference to Ash's Bulbasaur who was captured in the Hidden Village in Kanto.
- Like Ash from Kanto has Sceptile, a fully-evolved Template:Type2 starter Pokémon from Hoenn, May from Hoenn has Venusaur, the fully-evolved Grass starter from Kanto.
- May's Venusaur is the only starter Pokémon owned by a member of the main cast that is seen in its final form and unevolved form, but never in its middle form.
- As of Venusaur, the entire set of fully evolved Kanto starter Pokémon is now owned by regular characters: May owns Venusaur, Ash owns Charizard, and Gary owns Blastoise.
- Venusaur shares many similarities to Paul's Torterra. They are both in the final stages of the Template:Type2 starter Pokémon. They have also been seen only in their first and final forms, not their middle forms, quite often in one, and only through a cameo/flashback in the other. They also are the final forms of Pokémon that Ash has that were in their basic forms at the time when the fully evolved Pokémon was introduced.
