Ivysaur (フシギソウ, Fushigisou) is a fictional creature from the Pokémon series. It debuted in the series' first generation, and represents that generation as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (via Pokémon Trainer)
Creature description
Ivysaur is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. In the core series, Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur at level 16, and then evolves into Venusaur at level 32.
Ivysaur appears as a moderately large, blue, squat, quadrupedal saurian. Unlike Bulbasaur, the bulb on its back has grown and partially bloomed into a pink bud with large green leaves, thanks 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 torso 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.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Ivysaur is briefly mentioned in both Venusaur's and Bulbasaur's trophy descriptions.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a playable fighter
Ivysaur makes its debut in the Super Smash Bros. series in its third installment, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is playable as one of the three Pokémon used through Pokémon Trainer, the other two being Squirtle and Charizard. It is the middleweight of the trio of Pokémon that Pokémon Trainer can use, and it is equipped with a tether recovery up special attack.
Trophy
- Ivysaur
- A Seed Pokémon that is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. It has a flower bulb on its back, the weight of which has made it develop strong legs and hips. If the blossom gets too big, the Pokémon can't stand on two legs alone. At a certain level, it evolves into Venusaur. When this happens, the bulb absorbs nutrients and blossoms into a large-petaled flower.

Trophy
- Ivysaur
Watching your starter Pokémon evolve is an unforgettable experience. For many trainers, that first happened when Bulbasaur became Ivysaur. It might be difficult to say good-bye to cute little Bulbasaur, but before they know it, they'll be saying bye to Ivysaur, too, as it turns into a fully grown Venusaur!
