Origin
Venusaur's attack, SolarBeam, is a move in the Pokémon games. It can be learned by Ivysaur, and Venusaur at high levels. Although it does not require a turn to charge like its in-game counterpart, it does require a lot of Grass Energy to use. The card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue Versions, though it is slightly reworded.
