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. The move will continue while the special button is held, for up to 5 seconds.
At the start of the move, there is a hitbox at Ivysaur's sides to launch opponents into the attack. However, opponents will usually take more damage if they are not hit by the initial hit, as they are kept closer to Ivysaur within the barrage.
Bullet Seed can usually 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 in Brawl.
The large amount of damage dealt by this move, as well as the opponent(s) being caught in the air afterward, allows Ivysaur's powerful up smash as a follow-up move to potentially KO opponents.
Origin
In the Pokémon series, Bullet Seed is a Physical (as of Generation IV) Grass-type attack that was introduced in Generation III. In battle, Bullet Seed is a weak attack, only having 10 base power for each hit in Generations III and IV, and 25 base power for each hit in Generation V onwards. However, Bullet Seed can hit two to five times for each time the move is used. It is often learned at low levels by Grass-type Pokémon. Ivysaur could learn this move through TM09 in Generations III and IV.

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