Victreebel (Japanese: ウツボット Utsubot) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Weepinbell when exposed to a Leaf Stone. It is the final form of Bellsprout.
Biology
Physiology
Victreebel has the same shape as Weepinbell, only upside-down. There are four sharp teeth in Victreebel's mouth. Victreebel has a leaf covering its mouth that has a long, brown vine with a yellow tip growing out of it.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Victreebel lures prey into its mouth with sweet-smelling scents, then clamps down, trapping it.
Behavior
They can be found in small groups and are highly territorial. At the depths of the most dangerous jungles Victreebel live in huge colonies, and few Pokémon enter their territory and live to tell the tale. Victreebel horde food, usually small birds and rodents, and collect Leaf Stones to perform evolution rituals at night to help Weepinbell become more Victreebel.
Habitat
Victreebel live in forests, as well as tropical jungles and swamps where the ground is rich in nutrients. They can also occasionally be found in caves, near sources of underground water. Its range is basically the same as Bellsprout and Weepinbell's range.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
It uses an incredibly sweet-smelling honey to attract bugs, and sometimes larger prey, ranging from small rodents to creatures almost as large as themselves. The prey is then swallowed whole and is slowly digested by powerful acids strong enough to melt steel.
In the anime
Major appearances
James had two separate Victreebel (traded for each other in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid), both of which evolved from Weepinbell while in his possession. His second Victreebel was expelled from the group by Jessie after it attacked her. It landed near his first Victreebel, both Pokémon fell in instantly in love, and they hopped off together into the forest. They have not been seen since.
Minor appearances
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
In round 22, Red was kidnapped by a Victreebel into a hidden Victreebel colony in the Safari Zone, where Victreebel wanted to use Red as food for its youngsters. Red managed to escape and caught Victreebel.
Crystal manages to catch a Victreebel in her quest to fill the Pokédex. During the fight, Elm's Chikorita comes looking for Crystal, prompting Victreebel to sneakily use Chikorita as a living shield to defend itself from Arcanine's Template:Type2 attacks.

Trivia
- Because the game only allows for ten characters to make up a Pokémon's name, Victreebel's name only has one L. This problem also affects Feraligatr.
- In Generation I, Victreebel has the highest index number of all non-glitch Pokémon.
Origin
Victreebel and its pre-evolutions may be based upon carnivorous pitcher plants.
Name origin
Victreebel's name seems to be be a combination of bell, referring to its bell-like shape, and victory. The two E's in its name could also come from the word tree. Its Japanese name is based on 靫葛 utsubokazura, or "pitcher plant". It may also contain the Japanese 壷 tsubo, meaning jar, or ポット, pot, referring to its shape.
In other languages
- German: Sarzenia - Inspired by Sarracenia, a major genus of North American pitcher plants. Interestingly, Victreebel much more closely resembles a South-East-Asian Nepenthes pitcher plant, making this name somewhat of a misnomer.
- French: Empiflor - From Empereur (emperor), or s'empiffrer (to eat massively, fast and in a disgusting manner) and flora.
- Korean: 우츠보트 Ucheuboteu
- Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 大食花 Dà Shí Huā - Literally "Big appetite flower".
