Venusaur

About Venusaur

Venusaur (Japanese: Fushigibana) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon. As with its pre-evolutions, most of Venusaur's attacks involve the plant on its back; but the attacks are clearly stronger than those from Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. The flower on its back has a pleasant aroma that may attract other Pokémon. The aroma can also sooth people's emotions and calm Pokémon engaged in battle. The fragrance is stronger after a rainy day. The flower also absorbs sunlight to convert it into energy, thus making it far stronger during summertime. It is also able to charge at its enemies to gain speed, then perform moves such as Skull Bash and Body Slam with a force more powerful than a speeding armored truck. Additionally, it is capable of making incredible leaps for such a heavy Pokémon, and it's able to dodge attacks and jump across close rock formations. Its only downside is that its weight causes a small quake as it lands (of which appears to be the means that Venusaur uses the move Earthquake) which can break the platform it’s trying to land on, or cause it to get buried in mud or sand. Since Venusaur is a fully evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Grass-typed Starter Pokémon for that matter), it can use Hyper Beam, Giga Impact and Frenzy Plant.

Evolution
It evolves from Ivysaur at level 32. It is the final form of Bulbasaur.

How Venusaur's Name Came To Be
Venusaur resembles the mammal-like reptile from the Triassic Period, Kannemeyeria, as well as toads, as do its pre-evolutions Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. The flowering plant's origin is unknown but it appears to be a palm tree. The flower itself resembles the parasitic Rafflesia. Venusaur's name is a combination of the words venus and saur, which is Greek for lizard. Its Japanese name is a pun on fushigi na hana, strange flower.
