Venusaur is one of the fully evolved starter Pokémon from the first generation Pokémon. It was featured as the mascot for the Japan-only Pokémon: Green Version as well as the internationally released LeafGreen Version.

Information

Venusaur is the ultimate evolution of Bulbasaur, evolving from Ivysaur at Level 32.

As Venusaur evolves from Ivysaur, the bulb on its back blooms into a flower. The flower absorbs and stores solar energy as the source of Venusaur's power, particularly for the potent Solar Beam move. So Venusaur are constantly on the move to follow sources of sunlight, with the flower taking on vivid colors with proper amounts of nutrition and sulight. It is often quiet and still while absorbing sunlight. As it absorbs the sunlight, it also releases a pleasant aroma that soothes the emotion of people and will calm Pokémon that are engaged in battle. After being caught in the rain, the Venusaur's flower smells strong enough to attract other wild Pokémon.
