'''Ivysaur''', known as '''Fushigisou''' ({{ja|フシギソウ}}, ''Fushigisō'') in Japan, is a species of Pokémon. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it is one of the three [[Pokémon]] that a player can control as a fighter when picking the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}.

[[bulbapedia:Ivysaur (Pokémon)|Ivysaur]] is the evolved form of [[Bulbasaur]]. In the RPG series, Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur at level 16, and then evolves into [[Venusaur]], who is a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in the ''Smash Bros.'' games, at level 32.  

Ivysaur appears as a moderately large, blue, squat, quadrupedal saurian with the plant on its back now in the form of a pink bud and large green leaves. The bulb formerly on its back has grown and partially bloomed both to exposure from sunlight and apparently from drawing energy from Ivysaur's own body, which also gets stronger when it absorbs sunlight. The budding flower is heavy enough that Ivysaur appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs, but its four legs and trunk grow thick and strong from the weight of the flower, even as a quadruped. If it starts spending more time lying in the sunlight, it is a sign that the bud will bloom into a large flower soon, which would be heralded by the bud giving off a sweet, pleasant aroma and the species' evolution into its final form, Venusaur.

Ivysaur is briefly mentioned in both Venusaur's and Bulbasaur's trophy descriptions.
