'''Bulbasaur''' is a reptilian Pokémon with a plant Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games. It is notable for being the first Pokémon listed in the Pokédex and one of the original three starter Pokémon offered by [[Professor Oak]] in the beginning of the first generation games and their remakes. It is also the first in a three-stage evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being [[Ivysaur]] and [[Venusaur]].

At birth a seed is planted on its back. As the Pokémon grows, so does the plant. By the time it evolves, the plant is so large that the now Ivysaur to become bipedal. The bulb is part of its body as much as it's legs. Therefore, it can go for days without food, thanks to the energy stored in its bulb. Sometimes, Bulbasaur will sleep in the sun to gather sunlight.

It has a strange seed planted on its back at birth which grows with the Pokémon as it goes through its various evolutionary forms. This seed is filled with nutrients which help it to grow. The seed eventually sprouts the namesake bulb which stores energy and allows it to live for days without eating anything. They could commonly be found napping in sunlight.

Bulbasaur can evolve into an [[Ivysaur]] at Level 16. While it learns all the attacks that its evolutions learn, it learns them much sooner. Therefore it can be advantageous to prolong it's evolution in order to learn moves sooner.

Bulbasaur line is also part poison type, in addition to being part grass type. It's popular for having the relatively accurate sleep causing move, Sleep Powder, early on in the game, making the capture of stronger Pokémon, such as [[Onix]], easier.

It's popular for having the relatively accurate sleep causing move, Sleep Powder, early on in the game, making the capture of stronger Pokémon, such as [[Onix]], easier. Bulbasaur is also preferred for another reason. Bulbasaur has a type advantage against the first two gym leaders and no disadvantage against the next two in the first generation series. So while it's not the most visually pleasing Pokémon, it's one of the most popular. Of the three starters, it's also the most used in competitive battle.

Bulbasaur is one of three optional starter Pokémon offered by Professor Oak in the Red, Green, Blue, FireRed and LeafGreen versions. The only other game in which Bulbasaur is obtainable is [[Pokémon: Yellow Version]], where a Bulbasaur is given to [[Red]] by a woman in [[Cerulean City]] whom had recently nursed the Bulbasaur back to health (similar to how Ash got his Bulbasaur in the Pokémon anime). She only gives the Bulbasaur to Red if he is friendly with his [[Pikachu]].

Bulbasaur is a reptilian Pokémon with a plant Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games. It is notable for being the first Pokémon listed in the Pokédex and one of the original three starter Pokémon offered by Professor Oak in the beginning of the first generation games and their remakes. It is also the first in a three-stage evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being Ivysaur and Venusaur.

Information[edit]

It has a strange seed planted on its back at birth which grows with the Pokémon as it goes through its various evolutionary forms. This seed is filled with nutrients which help it to grow. The seed eventually sprouts the namesake bulb which stores energy and allows it to live for days without eating anything. They could commonly be found napping in sunlight.

Bulbasaur can evolve into an Ivysaur at Level 16. While it learns all the attacks that its evolutions learn, it learns them much sooner. Therefore it can be advantageous to prolong it's evolution in order to learn moves sooner. There are no visible differences between male and female Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur line is also part poison type, in addition to being part grass type. It's popular for having the relatively accurate sleep causing move, Sleep Powder, early on in the game, making the capture of stronger Pokémon, such as Onix, easier. Bulbasaur is also preferred for another reason. Bulbasaur has a type advantage against the first two gym leaders and no disadvantage against the next two in the first generation series. So while it's not the most visually pleasing Pokémon, it's one of the most popular. Of the three starters, it's also the most used in competitive battle.

Appearances[edit]

Mainstream Games[edit]

Bulbasaur is one of three optional starter Pokémon offered by Professor Oak in thePokémon Red, Green, Blue, FireRed and LeafGreen Versions. The only other game in which Bulbasaur is obtainable is Pokémon: Yellow Version, where a Bulbasaur is given to Red by a woman in Cerulean City whom had recently nursed the Bulbasaur back to health (similar to how Ash got his Bulbasaur in the Pokémon anime). She only gives the Bulbasaur to Red if he is friendly with his Pikachu.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Professor Oak offers Gold a choice between the original starter Pokémon following his defeat of Red.
