Ivysaur (Japanese: フシギソウ Fushigisou) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Bulbasaur starting at level 16, and evolves into Venusaur starting at level 32.
Biology
Physiology
Ivysaur, like its pre-evolved form Bulbasaur, resembles a toad or a dinosaur, though the patches in its skin cause it to more closely resemble a dinosaur. After evolving from Bulbasaur, Ivysaur grows small fangs. Ivysaur's skin is also a little bit more blue than Bulbasaur's. When its plant is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct aroma and starts swelling. 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 as when it grows, Ivysaur absorbs more nutrients.
Unlike its previous form, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur can no longer stand on its hind legs due to the bulb getting larger and heavier and its legs have grown thicker and stronger.
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.
Its abilities are such like petals, powders, and scents than vines and leaves, most likely because of the larger flower on its back.
In the anime, Ivysaur are shown to manipulate nature.
Behavior
Being much more commonly found in captivity then in the wild, Ivysaur's natural behavior is largely unknown, but it can be theorized that they are more aggressive then Bulbasaur, although it is still very loyal to its trainer.
When Ivysaur is ready to evolve, it starts spending more time in the sun to absorb more nutrients. It also releases a strong sweet-smelling odor.
Habitat
Ivysaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water but can be found in forests and jungles. However, they are rare, as many are in captivity.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Like its pre-evolved form, Bulbasaur, Ivysaur can last many days without eating, because it can absorb the sun's energy through the flower on its back.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ivysaur first appeared in Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden. Numerous Bulbasaur were seen evolving into Ivysaur, except for Ash's Bulbasaur, who refused to.
May's Bulbasaur evolved into an Ivysaur at some point after Home is Where the Start Is. Before she was seen again in Staging a Heroes Welcome, she had already become a Venusaur.

Ivysaur appeared under the ownership of a teenager named Jimmy in Judgement Day.

Trivia
- Like Bulbasaur and Venusaur, Ivysaur has been seen to have several differing colorations; in Generation I and Generation II, Ivysaur was seen to have a completely green body, aside from its bulb, when in fact it really has a blueish hue to its head.
- Ivysaur is the first evolved Pokémon in National Dex order.
- Its Red and Blue sprite shows Ivysaur standing on its hind legs, despite the Pokédex entries stating that it loses that ability upon evolution. This was corrected in future games.
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ivysaur is the only Pokémon that Pokémon Trainer uses that doesn't use an HM move as Squirtle uses Waterfall, and Charizard uses Rock Smash and Fly.
- Additionally, Ivysaur is the only playable quadrupedal character (although both Pikachu and Pichu will be on four legs when running).
- Ivysaur's number in the National Pokédex and the Fiore Browser are the same: 002. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
- Ivysaur is the only second stage Grass/Poison Pokémon that does not require an evolution stone to reach its final form.
- Ivysaur is the only second stage form of the Kanto starters to not be directly seen under the ownership of a main character in the anime. May owns a Venusaur that she evolved from a Bulbasaur but it was never seen onscreen as an Ivysaur.
Origin
Ivysaur is a lizard-based Pokémon and appears to be based on some form of Dicynodont, mammal-like reptiles from the Permian.
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.
In other languages
- German: Bisaknosp - Derived from Bisamratte (muskrat) and Knospe (bulb).
- French: Herbizarre - A combination of herb and bizarre sharing likeness with lizard'.'
- Korean: 이상해풀 Isanghaepul - "Strange grass."
- Chinese (Taiwan): 妙蛙草 Mìao Wa Căo - "Weird frog grass."
- Chinese (Hong Kong): 奇異草 Qí Yì Căo - "Unusual grass."
