'''Ivysaur''' ({{ja|フシギソウ|Fushigisō}}, ''Fushigisou''), stylized as '''IVYSAUR''' in Europe, is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in a sense; it is one of three Pokémon that are played through {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, the other two being {{SSBB|Squirtle}} and {{SSBB|Charizard}}. Ivysaur originated from the original ''Pokémon'' game for Game Boy as the first evolved form of {{pkmn|Bulbasaur}}, one of the initial Pokémon the player can start out with at the beginning of the adventure.


Unlike a majority of the characters, Ivysaur has different voice actors, which depend on the region and language. The voice actors respectively are as follows:

Ivysaur is perhaps the most difficult Pokémon to play out of the three. It cannot overpower its foes with deadly force like Charizard can, nor can it overwhelm foes with a high rate of attack like the nimble Squirtle. Furthermore, Ivysaur's major flaws prevent it from applying the same amount of pressure in a matchup as Pokémon Trainer's other Pokémon.
Ivysaur is perhaps the most difficult Pokémon to play out of the three. It cannot overpower its foes with deadly force like Charizard can, nor can it overwhelm foes with a high rate of attack like the nimble Squirtle. Moreover, Ivysaur is in extreme danger in any recovery situation, as it is can be edge-hogged pre/mid-tether. Finally, Ivysaur's KO moves are all quite limited and require either good mindgaming or excellent spacing to land safely.
 
KOing is one of Ivysaur's big problems. Ivysaur's two most KO-capable smashes are powerful but slow. Its forward smash deals high knockback, but has rather high startup and ending lag, while its up smash, despite being the strongest up smash in the game, suffers from high startup lag and a difficult-to-land hitbox that doesn't cover much horizontal distance. Ivysaur's forward aerial, its other vertical finisher, only begins to KO at around 130%. A sweetspotted [[Vine Whip]] can make for a superb surprise KO, but its diagonal trajectory makes it difficult to land, and leaves it [[helpless]] and vulnerable to punishment in midair. Ivysaur can pop off a dash attack for a quick and rather powerful headbutt KO, but the dashing animation makes the attack highly predictable and is easily blocked by shielding. Getting KOs is worsened by the Pokémon Trainer stamina trait, should Ivysaur get tired, decreasing the knockback on all of its attacks.
 
Ivysaur's special moves are generally mediocre. [[Bullet Seed]] has the potential to deal upwards of 30% to an enemy, but to be knocked into the seeds, the opponent must be hit by a tiny hitbox on Ivysaur's sides at the start of the move, making it difficult to set up. The seeds are also easily [[SDI]]'ed out of, and the high ending lag leaves Ivysaur vulnerable to punishment if the move misses. [[Razor Leaf]] is Ivysaur's only ranged projectile, but its unpredictable flight path, low knockback, high startup and ending lag, and slow speed render it ineffective for purposes such as [[camping]] and harassing.


Ivysaur is burdened with its weakness to fire-based knockback. While Squirtle is the only character in the game to do water-based knockback (discounting Mario with his [[F.L.U.D.D.]]), there are many more characters than just Charizard who utilize fire-based knockback in their more powerful moves ({{SSBB|R.O.B.}}, {{SSBB|Ike}}, {{SSBB|Luigi}}, {{SSBB|Snake}}, {{SSBB|Mario}}, {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, etc.), and have an easier time KO'ing Ivysaur as a result (one of the most notorious examples of this is Luigi with his [[Fire Jump Punch]], who can KO Ivysaur at as low as 40%. Snake can also KO Ivysaur with a fully-charged side smash at 5% at the ledge.) It also has quite a long rolling dodge animation, making it vulnerable to punishment by an opponent.
Despite its flaws, Ivysaur can do well when effectively using its moveset to frustrate foes. Ivysaur has one of the best damage rackers in the game with its neutral special, [[Bullet Seed]]. Constantly spotdodging or fooling foes to land this move is a top priority for good Ivysaur play, even at higher damage percentages. One hit of the special button can often rack up an easy 30%, and upward of 50% when landed right. Ivysaur's grab game can also assist at putting it in charge - Ivysaur's vines give it one of the best pivot grabs this side of Yoshi, and its running grab sports decent range as well (the standing grab, however, has surprisingly low range and a laggy "miss" animation). Once having grabbed, Ivysaur can use either a down or forward throw to maintain control of the match. [[Razor Leaf]] also contributes with its good range, speed, and piercing capabilities, but the unpredictable flight path can cause Ivysaur trouble from time to time. Ivysaur actually has a quite good jab combo too, as it sports decent damage, begins quickly, is endless, and is a good frontal deterrent to mid-close range attackers. Ivysaur's other primary problem is its back aerial; repeated use of this move can shut down plenty of approaches, but does little damage.


Ivysaur's worst weaknesses, though, are its atrocious air game and recovery. Ivysaur has a tough time using aerials against opponents offensively, and is frequently at risk to being pushed to the edge while airborne. Its back aerial deals extremely low damage and poor knockback, and its neutral aerial has very short range and can easily be SDI'ed out of. His up and down aerial have small vertical hitboxes; combined with the fact that using these moves midair causes a change in Ivysaur's momentum, these moves are very difficult to land. While his up aerial delivers powerful vertical knockback, his down aerial is an extremely weak [[meteor smash]] that doesn't deal meaningful knockback until very high percents, making it generally ineffective as an edgeguarding tool. Ivysaur's best aerial, his forward aerial, only covers the area directly in front of it, leaving it with few meaningful options while in the air. Its poor aerials, combined with its very slow air speed, severely cripple its aerial game. Furthermore, Ivysaur's recovery is considered among the worst in ''Brawl''. While its midair jump is decent, Ivysaur relies on its [[tether recovery]], [[Vine Whip]] to return to the stage and this move can easily be [[edgehog]]ged by opponents simply grabbing the ledge. This leaves Ivysaur with perhaps the shortest recovery in the game, and completely devastates its ability to recover safely from offstage, often dying to quick [[gimp]]s; A launch offstage is usually enough to nearly guarantee a successful edgeguard on the Pokémon.
As previously stated, although damage is not too much of a problem, KOing can be. Ivysaur's two most KO capable smashes are powerful but slow (with its up smash as the most powerful of its kind in ''Brawl''); and the same goes for its two aerial power moves, meaning that its up aerial telegraphs itself almost as much as {{SSBB|Zelda}}'s, and its forward aerial only begins to KO at around 130%. Their primary faults are laggy landings should they not end in time. A sweetspotted [[Vine Whip]] can make for a superb surprise KO, but its set trajectory is rarely ideal, and being an up-special, it is dangerous to use in midair. Ivysaur can pop off a dash attack for a quick and rather powerful headbutt KO, but getting shielded makes it risky. Getting KO's is worsened by the Pokémon Trainer stamina trait, should Ivysaur get tired, and Ivysaur is also burdened with its weakness to fire-based knockback. While Squirtle is the only character in the game to do water-based knockback (discounting Mario with his [[F.L.U.D.D.]]), there are many more characters than just Charizard who utilize fire-based knockback in their more powerful moves ({{SSBB|R.O.B.}}, {{SSBB|Ike}}, {{SSBB|Luigi}}, {{SSBB|Snake}}, {{SSBB|Mario}}, {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, [[Mr. Game and Watch (SSBB)|Mr. Game & Watch]], etc.), and have an easier time KO'ing Ivysaur as a result (one of the most notorious examples of this is Luigi with his [[Fire Jump Punch]], who can KO Ivysaur at as low as 40%.). It also has quite a long rolling dodge animation, making it vulnerable to punishment by an opponent.


It does have a good grab game, however; Ivysaur's vines give it one of the best [[pivot grab]]s along with {{SSBB|Yoshi}}, and its running grab sports decent range as well (the standing grab, however, has surprisingly low range and a laggy "miss" animation). Once having grabbed, Ivysaur can use either a down or forward throw to maintain stage control.
Ivysaur's worst weaknesses, though, are its atrocious air game and recovery. Ivysaur has a tough time using aerials against opponents offensively, and is frequently at risk to being pushed to the edge while airborne. Its back aerial and neutral aerial can help alleviate the defensive issue, but the neutral aerial has low range while its back aerial requires it to be facing away from the opponent, which can't always be done when already in the air. Ivysaur has very slow air speed, which also hurts its aerial game. The result is that anytime Ivysaur is off the stage, the Pokémon is in a bad tactical position and is generally forced to either begin edge games with Vine Whip and back/neutral air, or to simply get back to the stage (the safer option). While its midair jump is decent, Ivysaur relies on its [[tether recovery]] to return to the stage due to its poor air speed, but can easily be [[edgehog]]ged while attempting to use the Vine Whip to recover, although this can be prevented by shooting a [[Razor Leaf]] to clear the edge-hog off the stage.  


In summary, Ivysaur's difficulties KO'ing opponents, poor air game, laggy attacks, short reach, and atrocious recovery leave it as the clear runt of the litter among the three Generation I starter Pokémon. Competitive players argue that if Ivysaur was a standalone fighter, due to its lack of prominent strengths and debilitating flaws, it would be a contender for the worst character in the game, competing with bottom-tier characters such as {{SSBB|Link}}, {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBB|Zelda}}, and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} with some players putting it as the single worst character in the game.
In the end, Ivysaur can best be described as a poor version of Olimar; both are great at racking up the damage close-in and at irritating at mid-long range, but Olimar has a much easier time landing KO's with his superior (and almost-always disjointed) attack options, including better smashes, better aerials, and a better grab.
