'''Ivysaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギソウ''' ''Fushigisou'') is a {{2t|Grass|Poison}}-type Pokémon.
 
Ivysaur comes with the [[Ability]] {{A|Overgrow}}, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
 
Ivysaur evolves from {{p|Bulbasaur}} starting at Level 16 and evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at Level 32.
 
=Biology=
==Physiology==
Ivysaur, like its younger form Bulbasaur, resembles a toad or a dinosaur, though the patches in its skin make it look more like a dinosaur. It has lost the ability to stand on two legs since the bulb on its back has blossomed. After evolving from Bulbasaur, Ivysaur grows small fangs. When its plant is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct aroma. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Its plant is also an indicator of its overall health because when it grows, Ivysaur absorbs more nutrients.
===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
 
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.
In the [[anime]] Ivysaur are shown to manipulate nature
 
==Behavior==
 
Being much more commonly found in captivity then in the wild, Ivysaur's natural behaviour is still largely unknown, but it can be theorized that they are a bit more aggressive then Bulbasaur, although it is still very loyal to its trainer.
 
==Habitat==
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Ivysaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water.
 
==Diet==

Ivysaur also appears under the ownership of a teenager named [[Jimmy (Hoenn)|Jimmy]] in ''[[AG092|Judgement Day]]''.
 
An Ivysaur was under the ownership of [[Crystal (anime)|Crystal]] in ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]''.

Ivysaur is a playable Pokémon used by [[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]]. It has been confirmed that it can use the moves {{m|Bullet Seed}} as a rapid aerial striking move and {{m|Vine Whip}} as a recovery move where the vine is shot out to latch onto edges and pulled back up again. It uses {{m|SolarBeam}} in Red's Final Smash, [[Triple Finish]].

* Although the Pokédex says it cannot go on its back legs, its Pokédex image in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] shows it standing upright.
<!--*In [[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]], Ivysaur is the only Pokémon that [[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] uses that doesn't use an HM move (Squirtle uses {{m|Waterfall}} and {{p|Charizard}} uses {{m|Rock Smash}}).-->
==Origin==
Ivysaur appears to be similar to a dinosaur and may be based off of one.  The ''saur'' in its English name supports this, since dinosaur names often have ''saur'' suffixed.
===Name origin===
Ivysaur's name is a combination of the words ''[[wp:ivy|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.
 
==In other languages==

Ivysaur (Japanese: フシギソウ Fushigisou) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon.

Ivysaur comes with the Ability Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Ivysaur evolves from Bulbasaur starting at Level 16 and evolves into Venusaur starting at Level 32.

Biology

Physiology

Ivysaur, like its younger form Bulbasaur, resembles a toad or a dinosaur, though the patches in its skin make it look more like a dinosaur. It has lost the ability to stand on two legs since the bulb on its back has blossomed. After evolving from Bulbasaur, Ivysaur grows small fangs. When its plant is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct aroma. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Its plant is also an indicator of its overall health because when it grows, Ivysaur absorbs more nutrients.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

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. In the anime Ivysaur are shown to manipulate nature

Behavior

Being much more commonly found in captivity then in the wild, Ivysaur's natural behaviour is still largely unknown, but it can be theorized that they are a bit more aggressive then Bulbasaur, although it is still very loyal to its trainer.

Habitat

Ivysaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water.
