Venusaur (pronunciation: VEE-nuh-sawr) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Starter Pokémon of the Kanto region, evolved from Ivysaur and Bulbasaur. Venusaur is the Version Mascot for Pokémon Green and Pokémon LeafGreen.
Appearance[]
Venusaur is a large dinosaur like Pokémon that is somewhat similar in appearance to its pre-evolved forms, Ivysaur and Bulbasaur. Its skin still retains a light turquoise color, but it no longer has the spots, and it appears more rough and scaly with bumps here and there. The former bulb on its back has now fully bloomed into a gigantic flower and its ears have lightened up as well.
Evolution[]
Venusaur is the final stage of Bulbasaur; it evolves from Ivysaur starting at level 32.
