Ivysaur (フシギソウ Fushigisou) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon, and is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. Starting at level 32, Ivysaur can evolve into Venusaur.

[edit] Appearance

Ivysaur's appearance is very similar to that of its pre-evolved form Bulbasaur. It still retains the turquoise skin and spots, along with its red eyes. Ivysaur's top fangs are now larger and are visible outside of the mouth. Also, its ears are now darkened to black in the center. The most notable change is that the bulb is starting to bloom, with pink petals visible, and large leaves on the bottom.

[edit] Special Abilities

Ivysaur comes with the Ability Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

The bud that Bulbasaur carried on its back has grown into a full blossom as Ivysaur, and can grow larger in sunlight. As the blossom grows, Ivysaur loses the ability to stand on its hind legs. The blossom produces a pleasant smell when it is ready to bloom, and Ivysaur is ready to evolve into Venusaur.

[edit] In Anime

Ivysaur first debuted in the episode Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden. During the episode, many Bulbasaur gathered to a secret location for an Evolution Ceremony, where they could evolve into Ivysaur.

An Ivysaur was in the episode The Ultimate Test, which was used by the entrance exam teacher.

Crystal was shown to own an Ivysaur, seen in the episode Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl.

[edit] In Game

In every game so far, Ivysaur has only been obtainable by evolving a Bulbasaur at level 16. As with all other starter Pokémon and their evolved forms, excluding Pikachu, it can not be caught in the wild.
