Venusaur (Japanese: フシギバナ Fushigibana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Ivysaur starting at level 32. It is the final form of Bulbasaur. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur using the Venusaurite.
Venusaur is the game mascot of both Green and LeafGreen, appearing on the boxart of both.
Biology
Venusaur with its bulb closed
Venusaur is a squat, quadruped Pokémon with bumpy, bluish green skin. It has small, circular red eyes, a short, blunt snout, and a wide mouth with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and four pointed teeth 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 in a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur will have a seed in the center of its flower.
As Mega Venusaur, the flower on its back grows larger and two new pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Additional leaves with woody stems are grown around the flower that are supported by vines that grow from the base of the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops darker patches of color on its forehead below the new bloom. Its legs and frame also become more sturdy to support the weight of the flower.[1]
Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to take on colors that are more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. In the anime, Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature and lead evolution ceremonies for Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but has been known to inhabit grasslands.

- Main article: Saur
Red has a Venusaur nicknamed Saur which he received it as a Bulbasaur from Professor Oak in Bulbasaur, Come Home! after witnessing the bond shared between the two while battling a wild Machoke, learning SolarBeam in the process. Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur in Wartortle Wars after defeating a wild Primeape, and into Venusaur in The Winged Legends while fighting against the merged version of Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno along Blue's Charizard and Blasty, defeating it with its augmented SolarBeam while the others used Flamethrower and 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 Frenzy Plant from Ultima, and was able to destroy Mewtwo's restrictive M2 Bind, again with the help of the other two starters. During this incident, it was temporarily traded to Blue, but was given back to its owner soon afterward.

Other appearances
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 Razor Leaves at any character in front of it.
When Venusaur is released from a Poké Ball, it uses the move Frustration to cause an earthquake, similar to 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 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 SolarBeam move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.
Mega Venusuar appears as a trophy in the 3DS version.
Trophy information
With a special type of Mega Stone called Venusaurite, Venusaur can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur in the middle of a battle. Not only does Venusaur get a large defense boost when it Mega Evolves, but the plants on its back grow so much, it looks like you're being attacked by a walking jungle. Now, that's got to be intimidating!

Trivia
Origin
Venusaur appears to be based primarily on some form of reptile, specifically the tuatara or any of the mammal-like reptiles known as Dicynodonts from the Permian period or the Kannemeyeria from the Triassic period.
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 amphibians such as frogs and 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 such as 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 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 Rafflesia arnoldii.
Name origin
Venusaur is a combination of the words Venus (referring to the Venus flytrap plant) or venom and the Greek saur (lizard).
Fushigibana is a pun on 不思議な花 "fushigi na hana" (strange flower).
