[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Meganium (Japanese: メガニウム Meganium) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Bayleef starting at level 32. It is the final form of Chikorita.

Biology

Physiology

Meganium is a sauropod-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous evolutions, Chikorita and Bayleef, it has two stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped its own anther. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower with white tips. Meganium has also reverted back to the color it was as a Chikorita, whilst Bayleef's main body color had become a beige-color

Gender differences

A female Meganium has shorter stamen.

Special abilities

The aroma emanating from Meganium's petals soothes anyone that comes in contact with it. It calms aggressive feelings. In battle, Meganium uses this scent to calm its opponent and remove any desire for it to fight, giving it the upper hand. Meganium's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.

Behavior

Meganium appear to be a very benevolent and docile species. In Odd Pokémon Out, Nurse Joy's Meganium was a peacemaker and tried to stop the battle between Ash's Grovyle and a Tropius. It was also shown that Meganium could heal Grovyle prior to the battle, however this may be isolated to Template:Type2s as Meganium is able to heal hurt or dead plants.

Trivia

• The pattern in Meganium's flower in the sprites of Pokémon Gold and Silver was different than the one in the official artwork and contained only five petals. This was corrected in Pokémon Crystal.
• Meganium's evolutionary line contains the only starter Pokémon, not including Pikachu, that keeps its Japanese name in English versions.
• In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Meganium appears to have a small ruff on its neck. This does not appear in later games.

Origin

This Pokémon has the appearance of a sauropod, particularly resembling an apatosaurus. Like Tropius, it is clearly resemblant to the mokele-mbembe.

Name origin

Meganium's name is a combination of mega and geranium.

In other languages

• German: Meganie - from Mega and possibly Geranie (geranium).
• French: Meganium
• Korean: 메가니움 Meganium
