'''Ivysaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギソウ''' ''Fushigisou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
'''Ivysaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギソウ''' ''Fushigisou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} [[Pokémon]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bulbasaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bulbasaur}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ivysaur is a quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has blue-green skin with darker patches. On top of its head are pointed ears with black insides, and it has narrow red eyes. Ivysaur has a short, rounded snout with a wide mouth and two pointed teeth in its upper jaw. Each of its feet has three claws on them. The bulb on its back has bloomed into a giant pink bud. A short brown trunk surrounded by leafy green fronds supports the bud.
Ivysaur, like its pre-evolved form {{P|Bulbasaur}}, resembles a toad or a dinosaur, though the patches in its skin cause it to more closely resemble a dinosaur. After evolving from Bulbasaur, Ivysaur grows small fangs, and has visible ear insides and pupils. Ivysaur's skin is also a little bit more blue than Bulbasaur's. The most notable difference in Ivysaur's appearance however, is that its bulb has changed into a pink flower bud with leaves extending. This flower bud is heavy, thus making its back legs grow strong and sturdy to support it, at the expense of no longer being able to rise on its hind legs.


====Gender differences====
The weight of the plant prevents Ivysaur from running fast and standing on its hind legs, forcing its legs to grow sturdy. When its flower is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct, sweet-smelling aroma and starts swelling. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Exposure to sunlight adds to the strength of both Ivysaur and its plant. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Ivysaur is known to sleep in sunny spots while undergoing its photosynthesis process. Researchers cannot decide if Ivysaur is awake or asleep during this process. Ivysaur are typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains}}.
None.
===Evolution===
====Special abilities====
Ivysaur evolves from {{p|Bulbasaur}} and evolves into {{p|Venusaur}}.
Much like its previous form, most of Ivysaur's abilities originate from the plant on its back. Naturally, these attacks are stronger than Bulbasaur's.


Its abilities are such like {{m|Petal Dance|petals}}, {{m|PoisonPowder|powders}}, and {{m|Sweet Scent|scent}}s than {{m|Vine Whip|vines}} and {{m|Razor Leaf|leaves}}, most likely because of the larger flower on its back.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ivysaur are shown to manipulate nature.

|type1=Grass
===Behavior===
|type2=Poison
Being much more commonly found in captivity then in the wild, Ivysaur's natural behavior is largely unknown, but it can be theorized that they are more aggressive than Bulbasaur, although it is still very loyal to its trainer. When its plant is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct, strong sweet-smelling aroma and starts swelling. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Like its plant, exposure to sunlight adds to Ivysaur's strength.

===Habitat===
|name1=Bulbasaur
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
|type1-1=Grass
Ivysaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water but can be found in forests and jungles. However, they are rare, as many are in captivity. They are normally native to [[Kanto]].

|name2=Ivysaur
Like its pre-evolved form Bulbasaur, Ivysaur can last many days without eating, because it can absorb the sun's energy through the flower on its back.

====Trophy information====
''"A Seed Pokémon that is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. It has a flower bulb on its back, the weight of which has made it develop strong legs and hips.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Like {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Venusaur}}, Ivysaur has been seen to have several differing colorations; in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], Ivysaur was seen to have a completely green body, aside from its bulb, when in fact it really has a blueish hue to its head. This was due to the limitations of the [[Game Boy Color]], as only two colors could be used per Pokémon.
* Ivysaur's evolutionary line is the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to be {{type|Poison}}.
* Ivysaur is the first evolved Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
** Ivysaur's evolutionary line is also the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to have each member appear at least once in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].
* Its Red and Blue sprite shows Ivysaur standing on its hind legs, despite the Pokédex entries stating that it loses that ability upon evolution. This was corrected in future games.
*** In addition, Ivysaur is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the Super Smash Bros. series that {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} uses that does not know an HM move; {{p|Squirtle}} uses {{m|Waterfall}}, while {{p|Charizard}} uses {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Fly}}.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Ivysaur is the only Pokémon that {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}} uses that doesn't use an HM move as Squirtle uses {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{p|Charizard}} uses {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Fly}}.
* Ivysaur's numbers in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 002.
**Additionally, Ivysaur is the only playable quadrupedal character in the Super Smash Bros. series (although both {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pichu}} will be on four legs when running).
* Ivysaur is the only second stage form of a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon that does not require an [[Evolution stone]] to reach its final form.
* Ivysaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 002. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
** Ivysaur is also the only second stage form of [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] that evolves at level 32. {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Wartortle}} evolve at level 36.
* Ivysaur is the only second stage {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon that does not require an [[evolution stone]] to reach its final form.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an Ivysaur with an English name couldn't be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}} prior to the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]'s shutdown.
* Ivysaur is the only second stage form of the Kanto starters to not be directly seen under the ownership of a main character in the anime. {{an|May}} owns a {{tp|May|Venusaur}} that she evolved from a Bulbasaur but it was never seen onscreen as an Ivysaur.
* Ivysaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolutionary relatives and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Ivysaur is currently the only second stage Grass type starter that's dual-typed.
* Ivysaur is never seen losing a battle on-screen in any animated media.
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
Ivysaur is a lizard-based Pokémon and appears to be based on some form of ''{{wp|Dicynodont}}'', mammal-like reptiles from the {{wp|Permian}}. Its ears resemble cat ears.
Ivysaur's [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]] is inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, and ear-like protrusions on its head make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Of its evolutionary line, Ivysaur was the first to be created, years before Bulbasaur, Venusaur or the concept of evolution was conceived, as it was one of the original monsters created for the [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue#Capsule_Monster_Pitch Prerelease:Pokémon Red and Blue - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> Venusaur and Bulbasaur's designs were created afterward; the latter was created by [[Atsuko Nishida]] by basing it off of Venusaur.<ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu />
 
The bud on its back resembles a ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'' flower, and the leaves around the bud resemble {{wp|Arecaceae|palms}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Ivysaur's name is a combination of the words ''{{wp|ivy}}'' and ''saur'', which is {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean ''it seems strange'', or 不思議 草 ''fushigi sou'' strange grass.
Ivysaur may be a combination of ''{{wp|ivy}}'' (woody climbing or trailing plant genus) and ''dinosaur'', and may also incorporate ''poison ivy'' (referring to its Grass/Poison-type designation).
 
Fushigisou may be a combination of 不思議 ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and 草 ''sō'' (grass), as well as a pun of the phrase 不思議そう ''Fushigi sō'' ("It seems strange").

Ivysaur (Japanese: フシギソウ Fushigisou) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Bulbasaur starting at level 16 and evolves into Venusaur starting at level 32.

Biology

Ivysaur is a quadrupedal amphibian Pokémon that has blue-green skin with darker patches. On top of its head are pointed ears with black insides, and it has narrow red eyes. Ivysaur has a short, rounded snout with a wide mouth and two pointed teeth in its upper jaw. Each of its feet has three claws on them. The bulb on its back has bloomed into a giant pink bud. A short brown trunk surrounded by leafy green fronds supports the bud.

The weight of the plant prevents Ivysaur from running fast and standing on its hind legs, forcing its legs to grow sturdy. When its flower is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct, sweet-smelling aroma and starts swelling. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Exposure to sunlight adds to the strength of both Ivysaur and its plant. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Ivysaur is known to sleep in sunny spots while undergoing its photosynthesis process. Researchers cannot decide if Ivysaur is awake or asleep during this process. Ivysaur are typically found in plains.

Evolution

Ivysaur evolves from Bulbasaur and evolves into Venusaur.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trophy information

"A Seed Pokémon that is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. It has a flower bulb on its back, the weight of which has made it develop strong legs and hips. If the blossom gets too big, it can't stand on two legs alone. At a certain level, it evolves into Venusaur. When this happens, the bulb absorbs nutrients and blossoms into a large-petaled flower."

Trophy information

NA: Watching your starter Pokémon evolve is an unforgettable experience. For many trainers, that first happened when Bulbasaur became Ivysaur. It might be difficult to say good-bye to cute little Bulbasaur, but before they know it, they'll be saying bye to Ivysaur, too, as it turns into a fully grown Venusaur!

Trivia

Origin

Ivysaur's evolutionary line is inspired by frogs.[1] In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, and ear-like protrusions on its head make it resemble horned frogs. Of its evolutionary line, Ivysaur was the first to be created, years before Bulbasaur, Venusaur or the concept of evolution was conceived, as it was one of the original monsters created for the Capsule Monsters pitch.[2] Venusaur and Bulbasaur's designs were created afterward; the latter was created by Atsuko Nishida by basing it off of Venusaur.[1]

The bud on its back resembles a Rafflesia flower, and the leaves around the bud resemble palms.

Name origin

Ivysaur may be a combination of ivy (woody climbing or trailing plant genus) and dinosaur, and may also incorporate poison ivy (referring to its Grass/Poison-type designation).

Fushigisou may be a combination of 不思議 fushigi (strange; mysterious) and 草 (grass), as well as a pun of the phrase 不思議そう Fushigi sō ("It seems strange").
