Vine Whip (つるのムチ, Vine Whip) is Ivysaur's up special move.
Overview
Ivysaur lashes a vine from its flower, which functions as both an attack and a tether recovery. On the ground, Vine Whip hits at a forty-five degree angle in front of and above Ivysaur, with a powerful sweetspot at the end of the whip. In the air, in addition to granting Ivysaur a little height Vine Whip gains a deceptively long range, capable of nabbing the edge with a length far beyond the ground-based Vine Whip.
Like Olimar's Pikmin Chain, Vine Whip will cause helplessness if used in the air. If left hanging on its vine for long enough, Ivysaur will panic & automatically retract to the ledge. Unfortunately, Ivysaur can easily be edgehogged while attempting to use the Vine Whip to recover.
Origin
Vine Whip is a physical Grass-type attack introduced in Generation I, which involves hitting the foe with an outstretched vine. It is a rather weak move, learned by the Bulbasaur family and several other Grass-type Pokémon at a low level.
Trivia
- A small electric shock will be heard when the sweetspot of the vine hits another character. However, the sweetspot is still considered a grass attack and not an electric attack: this unusual sound was likely chosen to simulate more closely the cracking sound of an actual whip, especially one striking an object.
- If used from far enough away, grabbing the front end of the Pirate Ship will cause Ivysaur to swing into the hull of the ship, which will deal 10% damage to Ivysaur and meteor smash it, resulting in a guaranteed self-destruct.
