Venusaur (フシギバナ, Fushigibana) is a creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Origin

Venusaur's official artwork from Pokémon Red and Green.

Venusaur is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is the final form of the starter Pokémon Bulbasaur and evolves from Ivysaur at level 32, the lowest of all the Kanto starters. Venusaur has a distinct plant on its back, which is made up of large leaves used for photosynthesis and an equally large flower. It gained a Mega Evolution in Generation VI. It is registered at #003 in the National Pokédex, and known as the "Seed Pokémon". While Venusaur was unused in the base games for Pokémon Sword and Shield until the release of Pokémon Home, it became obtainable in the games via The Isle of Armor DLC expansion, with a Gigantamax form.

Earthquake is a physical Ground-type move with 100 base power and 100% accuracy which hits all Pokémon adjacent to the user. Its good type coverage, high power with no drawbacks and wide availability makes it a staple of many movesets. Venusaur, like many other Pokémon, can learn it using TM26. However, Venusaur could not learn Earthquake until Generation III, while Super Smash Bros. Melee (the only game in which Venusaur appears as a summon) was released during Generation II.

In Super Smash Bros.

As a stage element

Venusaur in Super Smash Bros.

Venusaur is one of five Pokémon which appear on the Saffron City stage in Super Smash Bros. When it appears from the Silph building, it shouts its name and attacks using Razor Leaf. When Venusaur appears, it initially "tackles" any character nearby, knocking them far away enough to be hit by Razor Leaf. The leaves have set knockback and keep the opponent suspended in the air as they take damage (similarly to Chikorita's attack in later games). The sound effect heard is the same as the one for Starmie's Swift, and both attacks coincidentally are launched in similar fashions at similar speeds. Sometimes, Venusaur will pop out without performing an attack at all. This only happens when there's a character next to the door Venusaur comes out of. Its Japanese and English voice clips each come from the Pokémon episode Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Venusaur makes a very brief cameo appearance in the opening sequence, as well as numerous other appearances across the game.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Venusaur in Melee.

Venusaur makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee and comes out of Poké Balls and uses Earthquake. While using Earthquake, the ground around Venusaur will shake and debris will come out of the ground to indicate the radius of the attack's quake hitbox. The attack is very similar to Donkey Kong's Hand Slap, except it's much stronger and covers more land. Opponents that touch the ground within its radius will take 18% damage and high vertical knockback. The attack can hit every 50 frames and Venusaur will disappear after 360 frames.

AI-controlled characters will attempt to shield Venusaur's attack, treating it like a projectile instead of a disjointed hitbox. This normally fails, but if the computer player finds itself just outside the radius of the quake, they will hold their shield until it breaks or until the attack ends. If the computer player is using Fox or Falco, they will oddly attempt to reflect the quake, which also fails.

Venusaur has a spawn chance of 25/583.

Venusaur's Japanese voice clip comes from a different part of Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden while its English voice clip is the same one used in Smash 64.

As a stage element

Venusaur's appearance on the Poke Floats stage.

A giant balloon of Venusaur (in actuality, the 3D model of Venusaur used in Pokémon Stadium for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that make the Poké Floats stage, along with Wooper and Snorlax. This Venusaur's flower petals act as fall-through platforms, and the stigma acts as a very short wall (and thus will cancel the momentum of a character that's been launched).

According to Masahiro Sakurai on Smabura-Ken, Venusaur and other Pokémon were planned to appear as stage elements on Pokémon Stadium, much like its earlier role on Saffron City. Although its model and animations were completed, Venusaur was cut due to programming issues and relegated to a Poké Ball summon.[1]

Trophy

Venusaur features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly in the Trophy Lottery.

(1.0/1.01 NTSC) Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its Solarbeam move. Think of Grass- and Poison-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Venusaur is briefly mentioned in Ivysaur's trophy description.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

While regular Venusaur does not appear, its Mega Evolution features as a trophy in both versions of the game.

Trophy

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Mega Venusaur trophy is part of the Mega Evolution Trophy Box.

NTSC With a special type of Mega Stone called Venusaurite, Venusaur can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur in the middle of a battle. Not only does Venusaur get a large defense boost when it Mega Evolves, but the plants on its back grow so much, it looks like you're being attacked by a walking jungle. Now, that's got to be intimidating!

Venusaur reprises its role as a stage element in the returning stage Saffron City. Its English voice clip is re-recorded by Justin Anselmi, the character's voice actor since Pokémon the Series: XY.

Spirit

Venusaur also appears as an Advanced-class primary spirit. In Adventure Mode: World of Light, its spirit is found in the jungle area of The Light Realm.

Venusaur's Spirit Battle uses a Giant red Ivysaur puppet fighter and is fought on Garden of Hope's Battlefield form. The floor is poisonous, referencing Venusaur's Poison type.
