Bullet Seed (タネマシンガン, Seed Machine Gun) is Ivysaur's neutral special move.
Overview
When this move is used, Ivysaur will send a barrage of seeds ascending from its bulb, trapping opponents in the rapid hits and dealing repeated damage to them. At the start of the move, there is a hitbox at Ivysaur's sides to launch opponents into the attack. In Brawl, Bullet Seed can deal 40%-50% damage to a trapped opponent. If the opponent is trapped optimally (without the initial hit), the move can deal over 70% damage. If the special button is held, it will last up to 5 seconds. In Ultimate, the move's maximum potential damage output is reduced to about 20% damage. The move also has a finishing hit at the end which launches the victim away, making it less punishable, but reducing follow-up potential. If the special button is held, it will last up to 2 seconds.

Trivia
- In Brawl, Kirby's copied version of this move can continue for much longer than the original version. This is also true of Bowser's Fire Breath and Charizard's Flamethrower.
- The fact that this move can continue for a maximum of 5 seconds in Brawl may be a reference to its behavior in the Pokémon games, where it can hit a maximum of 5 times.
