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.
Another major appearance was in A Bout With Sprout. A boy called Zackie from Earl Dervish's Pokémon academy wanted to have Ash's Pikachu very badly. In his efforts to catch it, he captured a Bellsprout instead. This Bellsprout later saved the day when Team Rocket was causing trouble at the Sprout Tower.

Later, Erika of the Celadon Gym is seen in possession of a Bellsprout, who, despite its small size, was able to daze the fully-evolved Poli by mimicking its DoubleSlap. Later, during the Yellow arc, it was revealed to have fully evolved.
