| ===Origin=== | | ===Origin=== |
Bellsprout (Japanese: マダツボミ Madatsubomi) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves into Weepinbell starting at level 21, which evolves into Victreebel when exposed to a Leaf Stone.
Biology
Bellsprout is a plant-based Pokémon with a stem-like brown body. This stem is long, thin and very flexible, making it capable of swerving rapidly to avoid many attacks or moving with blinding speed to capture prey. Its roots resemble feet, and it uses them as such. It will plant these feet in the ground to replenish water, but it is unable to flee while it is rooted. It has one green leaf on each side of its body. Its yellow head is bell-shaped and has what appear to be pink lips at the end. Bellsprout prefers hot and humid places, living in forests as well as tropical jungles.
