Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to take on colors that are more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day.

Venusaur (Japanese: フシギバナ Fushigibana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Ivysaur starting at level 32. It is the final form of Bulbasaur. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur using the Venusaurite.
Venusaur is the game mascot of both Green and LeafGreen, appearing on the boxart of both.
Biology
Venusaur is a squat, quadruped Pokémon with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes, a short, blunt snout, and a wide mouth with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed in a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur will have a seed in the center of its flower.
As Mega Venusaur, the flower on its back grows larger and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. The weight of the flower causes its legs to become sturdier in order to support it.[1] Additional leaves with woody stems, which are supported by vines, are grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower.
Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to take on colors that are more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. In the anime, Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back and lead evolution ceremonies for Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. Frenzy Plant was its signature move in the past. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but has been known to inhabit grasslands.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros.
Venusaur is one of the Pokémon that can appear from the gate on the rooftop of Silph Co. in the Saffron City stage. Venusaur will occasionally fire Razor Leaves at any character in front of it.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
When Venusaur is released from a Poké Ball, it uses the move Frustration to cause an earthquake, similar to Donkey Kong's Down + B attack. Any player caught in this will be sent flying.
Venusaur is also a Pokéfloat. The front half will push itself onto the screen first and play will then begin to move to the right after Snorlax leaves the screen.
Trophy information
Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its SolarBeam move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
Mega Venusaur appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
Trophy information
With a special type of Mega Stone called Venusaurite, Venusaur can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur in the middle of a battle. Not only does Venusaur get a large defense boost when it Mega Evolves, but the plants on its back grow so much, it looks like you're being attacked by a walking jungle. Now, that's got to be intimidating!

Trivia
- Venusaur is exactly the same size as another Grass-type Pokémon, Tropius. Both have a height of 6'7" (2.0 m) and a weight of 220.5 lbs. (100.0 kg).
- Venusaur's number in the National Pokédex and the Fiore Browser are the same: 003.
- Due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, a Venusaur with an English name cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in Generation V.
- Venusaur shares its category with Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Sunkern. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
- Mega Venusaur has the highest base stat total of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- If the player chooses Charmander as their starter in Pokémon Red, Blue, FireRed, or LeafGreen, it is impossible to get Venusaur registered in the Pokédex without trading, as no NPC in the said games uses a Venusaur under this condition.
- However, in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, after the player has unlocked the National Pokédex, Cooltrainer Albert uses a Venusaur in Knockout Mode at the Trainer Tower.
Origin
Venusaur appears to be based primarily on some form of reptile or synapsid, specifically the tuatara or any of the mammal-like synapsids known as Dicynodonts from the Permian period or the Kannemeyeria from the Triassic period.
Other than a lack of a tail, and with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Venusaur does not have much in common with amphibians such as frogs and toads (which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Venusaur does); instead, it more closely resembles reptiles such as lizards and tuataras. Alternatively, Venusaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, bumpy wart-like skin, and quadruped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the common toad. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" do have hollows indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.
The flower on its back resembles the Rafflesia arnoldii.
Name origin
Venusaur is a combination of the words Venus (referring to the Venus flytrap plant) or venom and the Greek saur (lizard).
Fushigibana is a pun on 不思議な花 "fushigi na hana" (strange flower).
