'''Shauna's Ivysaur''' (Japanese: '''サナフシギソウ''' ''Sana's Fushigisou'') is {{an|Shauna}}'s {{pkmn2|starter|first}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==History==
[[File:Shauna Bulbasaur.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Bulbasaur]]
Shauna received Bulbasaur as her [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Sycamore]]. Bulbasaur made its debut in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' when {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} first met Shauna. Shauna showed that Bulbasaur had featured in a couple of her [[Pokévision]] videos. Bulbasaur battled {{an|Serena}} and her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in a "first to touch" battle later in the episode. It used {{m|Energy Ball}} to blast straight through Fennekin's {{m|Flamethrower}} and land a hit, fulfilling the conditions of the match and winning.

In ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', Bulbasaur starred in Team Squirtle's Pokévision video alongside [[Tierno's Squirtle]] and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. In the [[XY041|episode after that]], Bulbasaur also took part in the PokéEnteering competition of the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]].

Shauna used Bulbasaur in the Team Battle tournament in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]'' where it battled alongside Charmander and Squirtle, making their way through to the final round which was set to be against Team Froakie. Before the battle {{TRT}} managed to trick Shauna into leaving Bulbasaur with them, under the impression they'd take it to [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} constricted Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle with {{m|Leech Seed}} but Ash and their trainers eventually were led to Team Rocket by [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] and Serena's Fennekin. It later battled Pikachu, Fennekin and [[Clemont's Chespin]] in the tournament finals.Lumios

Bulbasaur later accompanied its trainer to watch a [[Pokémon Showcase]] held at [[Lagoon Town]] in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]''. Shauna and Bulbasaur left straight after the event. 

In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', Shauna and Bulbasaur finally competed in a Pokémon Showcase Rookie Class at [[Coumarine City]]. The Theme Performance was Pokémon Styling and they went up against [[Jessie|Jessilee]], and her Pumpkaboo and a Performer named [[Alouette]] and her {{p|Furfrou}}. Bulbasaur modeled a bouquet of flowers on its bulb and the audience voted it through to the next round. It later worked with {{p|Flabébé}} during the Freestyle Performance. The two Pokémon combined {{m|Petal Dance}} with {{m|Fairy Wind}} to create a pretty pink backdrop for Shauna as she danced with a {{wp|Ribbon (rhythmic gymnastics)|ribbon}}. After the team disappeared amongst cloud, Bulbasaur dispersed the Fairy Wind with {{m|Solar Beam}}. Bulbasaur was revealed from the cover using {{m|Vine Whip}}, in the shape of a heart, to suspend itself in the air. Their performance won the whole event, earning Shauna her first {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}.

It appeared again in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'' where it was revealed to have evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}. It later battled alongside [[Tierno's Blastoise]] in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against Ash's Pikachu and [[Serena's Eevee]]. The match was called off before reaching a conclusion. It competed in the [[Anistar City]] Pokémon Showcase Rookie Class in the [[XY091|following episode]] where it helped Shauna to win the Theme Performance. It teamed up with Flabébé in the Freestyle Performance and gave a similar performance to before, however Serena was voted the overall winner and Shauna did not earn a Princess Key.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', Ivysaur was entered in the [[Gloire City]] Pokémon Showcase Master Class, where it was used in the first and second rounds, helping Shauna advance to the semifinals. It performed once again in ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', this time paired up with Flabébé. It was grouped with [[Serena's Sylveon]] and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and Jessilee's {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} and {{MTR}}. Its performance did not receive enough votes however, and Shauna was eliminated from the competition.

It reappeared in [[XY132]], where it joined the fight against [[Team Flare]]. It was later seen at the [[Pokémon Centre]], helping the citizens of [[Lumiose City]].

==Personality and characteristics==
During the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], Bulbasaur was [[Friendship|friendly]] to its Trainer while acting cold towards all others, not being as welcoming to {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{ashfr|the group}}'s Pokémon as {{an|Tierno}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. In later appearances, however, Bulbasaur was shown to have warmed up to the gang and retained this as an Ivysaur.
