'''Ivysaur''' is a second Pokémon that first appeared in
''[[Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Green, Blue,]]'' ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and Leafgreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]'' as part of the first generation of Pokémon.

=Information=

Ivysaur evolves from a [[Bulbasaur]] at level 16 (or later). The transition enlarges the bulb on its back, which begins to sprout into a flower bud. This changes the Ivysaur to a quadruped, as it is lacks the ability to stand on its hind legs like in its previous evolution. The bud on its back gives off an aroma as it prepares to fully blossom. Ivysaur will often lie in the sun absorbing energy from the sun to build its strength and to grow the bud on its back. Once the bud blossoms into a flower, it will evolve into a [[Venusaur]] at level 32.

The Ivysaur is notable for being the only one of the three second evolution starters that evolves first ([[Charmeleon]] and [[Wartortle]] evolve at level 36). However, with all evolutions this means it takes longer to learn certain moves that Ivysaur can learn earlier without evolving. The natural habitat of Ivysaur is unknown, as they are largely only found in captivity.

Within ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]'', Ivysaur has a variety of moves based on its moves from the games. Since it moves on all fours, it primarily attacks with its vines and projectiles.

*'''Standard Special Move: Bullet Seed''' - Ivysaur fires seeds rapidly from its bulb into the air above it.
*'''Side Special Move: Razor Leaf''' - Ivysaur fires leaves at its opponent.
*'''Up Special Move: Vine Whip''' - Bulbsaur extends its vines, which can hit enemies or grab onto ledges if Ivysaur is falling.
*'''Down Special Move: Pokémon Switch''' - This is not an actual move; this causes the Pokémon Trainer to withdraw Ivysaur and replace it with the next Pokémon, [[Squirtle]].
*'''Final Smash: Triple Finish''' - All three of the Pokémon attack using their most powerful attacks at the same time. The move Ivysaur uses is Solarbeam. This can only be used when one of the three Pokémon uses a Smash Ball.

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Ivysaur makes its Smash debut as a playable character. It is part of a three-Pokémon team composed of itself, [[Squirtle]], and [[Charizard]] that are commanded by [[Red|Pokémon Trainer]]. Ivysaur is unique as being the only other second-evolution Pokemon playable ([[Pikachu]] being the other) and the only quadruped of the entire Smash Bros. lineup. Ivysaur has a trophy which is unlocked by having Ivysaur deliver the final blow to [[Master Hand]] in a Classic Mode playthrough, as well as a sticker. 
**Within "The Subspace Emissary", Ivysaur is one of the two missing Pokémon sought by the Pokémon Trainer. The Ivysaur is ultimately found in the middle of the ruins in trophy form, where the Pokémon Trainer immediately catches it, at which point Ivysaur becomes playable in that mode.

==In Other Media==

*Ivysaur has made several brief appearances in the Pokémon anime.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Red's Bulbasaur evolved into an Ivysaur when in battle with a [[Primeape]] near Celadon City. It remained an Ivysaur for a majority of the arc until evolving during a battle with the fused form of [[Articuno]], [[Zapdos]] and [[Moltres]] later on.

=Trivia=

*Its name is a simple combination of "ivy" (a type of flora, reflecting its grass-type nature) and "saur" (which means lizard and is the shared suffix of this evolutionary family).
