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


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.  
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.


Venusaur is the [[version mascot]] of both {{game|Green}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}}, appearing on the boxart of both.
Venusaur has two forms: '''Mega Venusaur''' and '''Gigantamax Venusaur'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Venusaur using the [[Venusaurite]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Venusaur if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Venusaur was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].
 
Venusaur is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Green}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon LeafGreen}}, appearing on the box art of both games.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Erika Venusaur bulb closed PM.png|thumb|200px|left|Venusaur with its bulb closed]]
Venasaur's coloring is more similar to Ivysaur's, and it has retained the three toes (claws), but has four additional fangs. It is considerably larger and heavier than both of its pre-evolutions are, and as such, it moves slower than the two when it is not in {{pkmn|battle}}, though it retains its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped form}}. The bud on its back has since bloomed into a large red flower with six expansive, white-spotted petals, supported on a brown trunk somewhat like that of a palm tree. Instead of patches on its skin, Venusaur appears to have frog-like warts. Additionally, the insides of Venusaur's ears now appear to be red in coloration.
Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish-pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a {{wp|gynoecium}} in the center of its flower.


====Gender differences====
Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day.  Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping. [[EP051|In the anime]], Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.
The female has a "seed" protruding from its flower; possibly representing a fertile Venusaur.
{{left clear}}


===Special abilities===
===Forms===
Venusaur are able to manipulate nature, as seen in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' by making the flowers on a tree bloom, controlling roots and branches to attack Team Rocket or form a defensive wall around the garden. In addition, they are able to make Bulbasaur evolve by making their bulbs grow.  
[[File:003Venusaur-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Gigantamax Venusaur using {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}]]
Venusaur has two forms: Mega Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.


As with its pre-evolutions, most of Venusaur's attacks involve the plant on its back, but the attacks are clearly stronger than those from Bulbasaur and Ivysaur are. The flower on its back has a {{m|Sweet Scent|pleasant aroma}} that may attract other Pokémon. The aroma can also sooth people's emotions and calm Pokémon engaged in battle. The fragrance is stronger after a rainy day. The flower also absorbs sunlight to convert it into energy, thus making it far stronger during summertime.
When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], the flower on Venusaur's back grows more prominent, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Its legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower. Additional leaves with woody stems, supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.


It is also able to charge at its enemies to gain speed, then perform moves such as {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Body Slam}} with a force more powerful than a speeding armored truck. Additionally, it is capable of making incredible leaps for such a heavy Pokémon, and it is able to dodge attacks and jump across close rock formations. Its only downside is that its weight causes a small quake as it lands (of which appears to be the means that Venusaur uses the move {{m|Earthquake}}) which can break the platform it’s trying to land on, or cause it to get buried in mud or sand. Since Venusaur is a fully evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Grass-type [[starter Pokémon]] for that matter), it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.
As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud and extraordinarily thick, springy petals capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk supporting it becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.


===Behavior===
Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can similarly spread enough pollen to resemble a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-venusaur/ Gigantamax Venusaur | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>
Rarely in the wild, Venusaur usually lead the evolution rituals of Bulbasaur and Ivysaur every year, away from human eyes. A Trainer must be well experienced when around Venusaur because it is so powerful.


They still have a loyalty streak, though this isn't seen much, since most Venusaur act as the Trainer's bodyguard and are rarely abandoned, if ever. For some unknown reason, possibly from age, Venusaur are very calm and collected Pokémon, even after being caught, similar to {{P|Torterra}}.
Gigantamax Venusaur is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}.


===Habitat===
{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; font-size:80%"
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
|
Venusaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water; they can be found in forests and jungles. As with the rest of its evolutionary family, it is mainly found in [[Kanto]].

Venusaur gets most, if not all, of its energy from the flower on its back. The flower engages in photosynthesis, which provides energy for Venusaur. During this time, it remains completely still. Due to this, it prefers sunny areas and is more powerful in the summertime. It is unknown if Venusaur have to eat at all.

{{an|May}}'s {{p|Bulbasaur}} had evolved during her absence from the series and showed up in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' as a Venusaur.
 
====[[Spenser's Venusaur]]====
{{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}}'s {{TP|Spenser|Venusaur}} debuted in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. Spenser had Venusaur use {{m|Sweet Scent}} to drive away the furious {{p|Beedrill}}. Venusaur was the second Pokémon that the Palace Maven used in his battle with Ash in ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]''. The Seed Pokémon won against [[Ash's Heracross]], but lost to his {{AP|Swellow}}. It made another appearance in a flashback in ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day!]]''.
 
====Other====
A Venusaur leading an evolution ceremony for {{p|Bulbasaur}} appeared in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.

Bulbasaur evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' after defeating a wild {{p|Primeape}}, and into Venusaur in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'' while fighting against [[Thu-Fi-Zer|the merged version]] of {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Articuno}} along [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty]], defeating it with its augmented {{m|SolarBeam}} while the others used {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively. With the unusual help of [[Poli]] and [[Pika]] he was able to defeat Blue's Charizard at the Pokémon League, winning the battle and the tournament. At [[Boon Island]], Saur learned {{m|Frenzy Plant}} from [[Kimberly]], and was able to destroy {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s restrictive M2 Bind, again with the help of the other two starters.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Venusaur is one of the Pokémon that can appear from the gate on the rooftop of [[Silph Co.]] in the [[Saffron City]] stage. Venusaur will occasionally fire {{m|Razor Leaf|Razor Leaves}} at any character in front of it.
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When Venusaur is released from a [[Poké Ball]], it uses the move {{m|Frustration}} to cause an {{m|earthquake}}, similar to {{dk|Donkey Kong}}'s Down + B attack. Any player caught in this will be sent flying.
Venusaur is also a Pokéfloat. The front half will push itself onto the screen first and play will then begin to move to the right after {{p|Snorlax}} leaves the screen.
====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''

[[File:May Venusaur.png|thumb|250px|Female Venusaur in the anime]]
[[File:Mega Venusaur anime.png|thumb|250px|Mega Venusaur in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[May's Venusaur]]=====
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Venusaur during her absence from the anime. She was briefly seen facing off against a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s {{p|Marill}} in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the [[Wallace Cup]].
=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', a Venusaur was the leader of an evolution ceremony for Bulbasaur. It appeared again in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', during a flashback.
A Venusaur [[nickname]]d Bruteroot appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Corey]]. It was taken away from her by one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.
In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Venusaur was used in a battle against [[Ash's Tauros]], and it lost to Tauros' {{m|Take Down}} attack.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Venusaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically the {{wp|tuatara}} or any of the mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period or the {{wp|Kannemeyeria}}'' from the {{wp|Triassic}} period.
According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-evolutions were inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.  


Other than a lack of a tail, and with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Venusaur does not have much in common with {{wp|amphibians}} like {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}} (which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Venusaur does); instead, it more closely resembles reptiles like lizards and tuataras. Alternatively, Venusaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, bumpy wart-like skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" do have hollows indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.
The flower on its back resembles the ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}''.

Venusaur (Japanese: フシギバナ Fushigibana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Ivysaur starting at level 32. It is the final form of Bulbasaur.

Venusaur has two forms: Mega Venusaur and Gigantamax Venusaur. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur using the Venusaurite, and can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Venusaur if it has the Gigantamax Factor. Gigantamax Venusaur was introduced in The Isle of Armor.

Venusaur is the game mascot of Pokémon Green and its remake Pokémon LeafGreen, appearing on the box art of both games.

Biology

Venusaur with its bulb closed

Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal amphibian Pokémon with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish-pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a gynoecium in the center of its flower.

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping. In the anime, Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead evolution ceremonies for Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit grasslands.

Forms

Gigantamax Venusaur using G-Max Vine Lash

Venusaur has two forms: Mega Venusaur and Gigantamax Venusaur.

When Mega Evolved, the flower on Venusaur's back grows more prominent, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Its legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower. Additional leaves with woody stems, supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.

As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud and extraordinarily thick, springy petals capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk supporting it becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.

Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can similarly spread enough pollen to resemble a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.[1]

Gigantamax Venusaur is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Vine Lash.

Trivia

Merchandise

Venusaur in Pokémon Battle Chess

Origin

According to Ken Sugimori in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-evolutions were inspired by frogs.[3] In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the Thick Fat Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble horned frogs. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The flower on its back resembles the Rafflesia arnoldii.

Name origin

Venusaur may be a combination of Venus (referring to the Venus flytrap plant) or venom and dinosaur.

Fushigibana may be a combination of 不思議 fushigi (strange; mysterious) and 花 hana (flower).
