Venusaur

Venusaur (フシギバナ) is a /-type Pokémon. It is the mascot for Pokémon Green and Pokémon LeafGreen.

Physiology
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. Female Venusaur are slightly different because they have a seed on their back, which shows that it can give birth to a new Bulbasaur.

Gender differences
Female Venusaur have bulbs sticking out of the tops of their flowers.

Characteristics
Venusaur absorbs sunlight to gain energy and to feed its flower, located on its back. After gaining a certain amount of sunlight, the flower will release a sweet aroma said to soothe the emotions of people. Additionally, after a rainy day, the smell of the flower's aroma grows stronger, attracting other Pokémon.

Evolution
Venusaur evolves from Ivysaur at level 32. It can mega evolve into Mega Venusaur using the Venusaurite.
