{{ variable.name }}
Ivysaur is a Generation I Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Red/Green. It is characterized by the large bud on its back, which grows as it approaches evolution into Venusaur. The design of Ivysaur draws inspiration from frogs and plants, with its blue-green skin and bulbous structure resembling a developing flower. Its name combines "ivy" and "dinosaur" , reflecting its plant-like and prehistoric traits.
Obtaining Ivysaur in BDSP
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Ivysaur is not found in the wild. It is obtained by evolving Bulbasaur, which is one of the three starter Pokémon chosen at the beginning of the game. Trainers receive Bulbasaur from Professor Rowan’s aide in Twinleaf Town and can evolve it into Ivysaur by reaching level 16.
