'''Ivysaur''', also known as '''Fushigisou''' ({{ja|フシギソウ}}, ''Fushigisō'') in Japan, is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as one of three Pokémon that can be played when [[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]] is selected from the game's character select screen, the other two being [[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]] and [[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]]. | |||
Ivysaur is a rare sight as a fighter, because it is a specifically quadrupedal character, even in comparison to [[Pikachu]], [[Pichu]], and [[Squirtle]] which alternate between bipedal and quadrupedal action. To make up for its lack of arms, it prominently uses its vines as substitutes. Most people feel that Ivysaur is the most balanced of the three Pokémon. Ivysaur excels at long-range attacking, projectiles, and racking up damage. In Adventure Mode, [[Pokémon Trainer]] cannot use Ivysaur until the player progresses far enough into the story of ''The [[Subspace Emissary]]'' as with [[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]]. | |||
