A Venusaur with the right amount of training and the right moveset will be the perfect defensive cornerstone to any Pok\u00e9mon team.\n
But have you ever wondered where the name \u201cVenusaur\u201d comes from? Or how many games Venusaur has been in? Or what about where its design inspiration comes from?\n
Well, find out all that and more in these 30 Facts About Venusaur!\n
\n
These games are Pok\u00e9mon Green and Pok\u00e9mon Leaf Green \u2013 and you\u2019ll find Venusaur on the boxart for both of these games!\n Whilst you will never find a Venusaur in the wild (hacks and Pok\u00e9mon Go notwithstanding), it has an incredibly low catch rate of only 11.9%.\n Most Legendary Pok\u00e9mon have catch rates varying from 1% \u2013 15%.\n This means that, if you ever were to run into a wild Venusaur, then you\u2019d have to have a heck-ton of Pok\u00e9balls on you!\n When fully grown, a Venusaur can be as tall as 6 foot 7 inches \u2013 that\u2019s 10 inches taller than the average male height!\n What\u2019s more, a Mega Venusaur stands at an imposing height of 7 feet 10 inches!\n Weighing in at 220.5 lbs when fully-grown, Venusaur is a behemoth that outweighs both Charizard and Blastoise.\n It is a full 21 lbs heavier than Charizard, and 31 lbs heavier than Blastoise.\n And yes, you read that correctly, Charizard does weigh more than Blastoise!\n In English, the name is a combination of the \u201cVen\u201d from a \u201cVenus\u201d Fly Trap, and the Greek word \u201csaur\u201d meaning \u201clizard\u201d.\n Like all starter Pok\u00e9mon, and all of its previous evolutions, Venusaur eggs only have a 12.5% chance of being born female, as opposed to their whopping 87.5% chance of being born male!\n This is because there is a little golden seed sitting in the center of their large flower.\n This indicates visually that the Venusaur is a female.\n However, this interesting little bit of visual art was only introduced in Generation IV, across the games Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, as well as HeartGold and SoulSilver.\n Although this is something never seen in the games or the anime, in the manga Pok\u00e9mon Pocket Monsters, Erika\u2019s Venusaur is seen with its bulb closed.\n This is something that has been seen in the anime, when Venusaur is able to make damaged grasslands grow green again.\n In the anime episode, Bulbasaur\u2019s Mysterious Garden, a Venusaur is seen leading an evolution ceremony for Bulbasaurs and Ivysaurs in the wild.\n The scent from a Venusaur\u2019s flower is described as being sweet smelling and has the ability to calm down agitated Pok\u00e9mon and sometimes even people.\n It is said in the Pok\u00e9mon Black and White Pok\u00e9dex entry that \u201cAfter a rainy day, the flower on its back smells stronger\u201d.\n In Venusaur\u2019s Pok\u00e9dex entries it states that \u201cThe flower on its back catches the sun\u2019s rays. The sunlight is then absorbed and used for energy\u201d.\n Because of this, wild Venusaurs always stay on the move so they can absorb as much sunlight as possible.\n This was revealed in the Pok\u00e9dex entry for Pok\u00e9mon Emerald which said \u201cVenusaur\u2019s flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight\u201d.\n It has appeared in both the Nintendo games Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee. and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS\/Wii U.\n A Venusaur also appeared in the Detective Pikachu game \u2013 but not the movie, because the realistic Venusaur drawn for the film was just a little too freaky!\n It has a Cantonese Chinese name, K\u00e8ihyihf\u0101, which translates as \u201cUnusual Flower\u201d, and a Mandarin Chinese name, Mi\u00e0ow\u0101hu\u0101, which translates as \u201cWonderful Flower Frog\u201d!\n As a starter Pok\u00e9mon, it is graced with some pretty brilliant base stats, with a total of 525.\n That\u2019s equal to several very strong Pok\u00e9mon including Lucario, Jolteon and Torterra.\n A shiny Venusaur has a brighter green skin color rather than the teal color of its normal counterpart, and has a shining yellowy-golden flower on its back instead the usual pinkish-red flower.\n Despite having rather distinct silhouettes when it comes to \u201cWho\u2019s that Pok\u00e9mon?\u201d, both Venusaur and Tropius are 6 foot 7 inches tall and both weigh 220.5 lbs!\n For both the National Pok\u00e9dex and the Fiore Browser, used in the Pok\u00e9mon Ranger games, Venusaur\u2019s number is 003.\n The episode March of the Exeggutor Squad was the first episode to physically feature a Venusaur!\n This is because the \u201csau\u201d from \u201cVenusaur\u201d can be translated as \u201cswine\u201d in German and it is considered as an offensive nickname.\n Its Japanese name, Fushigibana, is a pun on the Japanese term \u201cfushigi na hana\u201d which means \u201cstrange flower\u201d.\n It first appeared in the episode Cutting the Ties that Bind, then next in the episode Ka Boom with a View! where it defeated Ash\u2019s Heracross, before being bested by Ash\u2019s Swellow.\n It made its third appearance in a flashback sequence in the episode King and Queen for a Day!\n These three Pok\u00e9mon are Bulbasaur, Ivysaur and Sunkern, and all four of these Pok\u00e9mon are categorized as Seed Pok\u00e9mon.\n The form doesn’t come with the base version of Sword and Shield, but from The Isle of Armor, the game’s first expansion pack. \n In Pok\u00e9mon Red, Blue, FireRed and LeafGreen, no NPC has a Venusaur in the game if the player chooses a Charmander to begin with \u2013 making it impossible to fill out your Pok\u00e9dex!\n Ken Sugimori is the beautifully creative mind behind most of all the Pok\u00e9mon designs. And, much like all the other Kanto starters, Venusaur is one of Ken Sugimori\u2019s designs.\n However, it is his least favorite design. But why?\n Well, that\u2019s because he finds Venusaur to be one of the hardest Pok\u00e9mon to draw!\n That\u2019s not a surprising figure, given that Venusaur is one of the original 150 Pok\u00e9mon and has been staring in Pok\u00e9mon games since 1996!\nVenusaur has a catch rate similar to Legendary Pok\u00e9mon.\n
