Bayleef

Bayleef (Japanese: ベイリーフ Beiriifu) is the -type Starter Pokémon of the Johto region, evolved from Chikorita.

Physiology
Bayleef is a yellow, dinosaur-like Pokémon. Around its neck are several small leaves that Bayleef can shoot at opponents. There is also a large leaf on its head, which it inherits from its pre-evolution, Chikorita. This Pokémon is derived from a sauropod.

Behaviour
It is very outgoing like Chikorita, but is more cautious. It looks up to Meganium and other grass types for knowledge. It will hide from danger and have its mother fend for her young. If anything to happen to the mother, it won't take care of its siblings, and rather join other grass types for protection, or join a herd of traveling Meganium. There have been instances where Chikorita joined groups of Jumpluff for help. Bayleef often can fend for themselves.

Evolution
Bayleef is the evolved form of Chikorita. Starting at level 32, it can evolve into a Meganium.

Anime


Ash Ketchum's Chikorita evolved in Turning Over A New Bayleef.

Etymology
Bayleef's name comes from the name of the herb, Bay leaf.
