Meganium (Japanese: メガニウム Meganium) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Meganium is a sauropod-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous evolutions, Chikorita and Bayleef, it has two stem-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower with white tips.

Gender differences

A female Meganium has shorter antenna.

Special abilities

The aroma emanating from Meganium's petals soothes anyone that comes in contact with it. It calms aggressive feelings. In battle, Meganium uses this scent to calm its opponent and remove any desire for it to fight, giving it the upper hand. Meganium's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.

Casey's Meganium

Casey's Bayleef evolved into this Herb Pokémon sometime before Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!.

Ash's Bulbasaur had a heated battle with Jackson's Meganium in EP268. Jackson also used his Meganium to help save Raikou in The Legend of Thunder.

An Officer Jenny from Gulpin it Down! had Meganium on her squad.

In Beg, Burrow and Steal, Elisa used her Meganium to stop a Donphan from chasing Hal and to help stop Team Rocket from stealing the Vibrava.

A Nurse Joy in Odd Pokémon Out had a Meganium, which became the object of affection for both Ash's Grovyle and a wild Tropius.

In the manga

Crystal's Bayleef evolved into Meganium to protect Gold, Silver, and herself from Lugia.

Trivia

• The pattern in Meganium's flower in the sprites of Pokémon Gold and Silver was different than the one in the official artwork. This was corrected in Pokémon Crystal.
• In Generation II and Generation III backsprites Meganium's "antenna" seems to be thinner than in Generation IV.

Origin

This Pokémon has the appearance of a sauropod, particularly resembling an apatosaurus. Like Tropius, it is clearly resemblant to the Mokele-mbembe.

Name origin

Meganium's name is a combination of mega and geranium. It would seem the feminine name "Megan" (to match Chikorita's "Rita" and Bayleef's "Baylee") is also included.
