Biology

The bud on its back has bloomed into a flower. It has a soothing aroma, and converts sunlight into energy. For this reason, Venusaur is more powerful during the summer.

Forms

Mega Venusaur

GrassPoison

HoldsVenusaurite

In order to support the massive flower it has, its back legs have become stronger. The flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight.

Gigantamax Venusaur

GrassPoison
BST 525

When Gigantamaxed, Venusaur's petals are much larger than before, and almost completely cover its head, body, and face. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Vine Lash.
