Ivysaur (Japanese: フシギソウ Fushigisou, German: Bisaknosp, French: Herbizarre, Korean: 이상해플 Isanghaepul) 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.

Pokedex Data

Leaf Green Version

When the bulb on its back grows large, it appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs.

Name origin

Ivysaur's name is a combination of the words ivy and saur, which is Greek for lizard. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean it seems strange, or 不思議 草 fushigi sou strange grass.

Dinosaur names often have saur suffixed, and Ivysaur appears dinosaur-like.
