'''Venusaur''' ({{ja|フシギバナ|Fushigibana}}, ''Fushigibana'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise.

==Origin==
[[File:003VenusaurRB.png|thumb|150px|left|Venusaur's official artwork from ''Pokémon Red and Green''.]]
{{pkmn|Venusaur}} is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}. It is the final form of the {{iw|bulbapedia|starter Pokémon}} {{pkmn|Bulbasaur}} and evolves from [[Ivysaur]] at level 32, the lowest of all the Kanto starters. Venusaur has a distinct plant on its back, which is made up of large leaves used for photosynthesis and an equally large flower. It gained a Mega Evolution in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}. It is registered at #003 in the National Pokédex, and known as the "Seed Pokémon". While Venusaur was unused in the base games for ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Sword and Shield}}'' until the release of ''Pokémon Home'', it became obtainable in the games via ''{{iw|bulbapedia|The Isle of Armor}}'' DLC expansion, with a Gigantamax form.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Earthquake|move}} is a physical Ground-type move with 100 base power and 100% accuracy which hits all Pokémon adjacent to the user. Its good type coverage, high power with no drawbacks and wide availability makes it a staple of many movesets. Venusaur, like many other Pokémon, can learn it using {{iw|bulbapedia|TM26}}. However, Venusaur could not learn Earthquake until Generation III, while ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' (the only game in which Venusaur appears as a summon) was released during Generation II.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:Venusaur (SSB).png|thumb|left|Venusaur in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
{{see also|Razor Leaf}}
Venusaur is one of five Pokémon which appear on the [[Saffron City]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' When it appears from the Silph building, it shouts its name and attacks using [[Razor Leaf]]. When Venusaur appears, it initially "tackles" any character nearby, knocking them far away enough to take damage from Razor Leaf. The leaves have set knockback and keep the opponent suspended in the air as he or she takes damage (similarly to [[Chikorita]]'s attack in later games). The sound effect heard is the same as the one for [[Starmie]]'s Swift, and both attacks coincidentally are launched in similar fashions at similar speeds. Sometimes, Venusaur will pop out without performing an attack at all. This only happens when there's a character next to the door Venusaur comes out of. Its Japanese and English voice clips each come from the ''Pokémon'' episode ''Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
Venusaur makes a very brief cameo appearance in the opening sequence, as well as numerous other appearances across the game.

===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Venusaur Pokeball SSBM.png|thumb|200px|Venusaur in Melee.]]
Venusaur makes an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and comes out of [[Poké Ball]]s and uses Earthquake. While using Earthquake, the ground around Venusaur will shake and the player will see debris coming out of the ground to indicate the radius of the attack's quake hitbox. The attack is very similar to {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}'s [[Hand Slap]], except it's much stronger and covers more land. Any character that touches the ground within Earthquake's radius will take damage and high vertical knockback. Venusaur's attack does not harm the summoner.

[[AI]]-controlled characters will attempt to [[shield]] Venusaur's attack, treating it like a [[projectile]] instead of a disjointed [[hitbox]]. This normally fails, but if the computer player finds itself just outside the radius of the quake, they will hold their shield until it breaks or until the attack ends. If the computer player is using {{SSBM|Fox}} or {{SSBM|Falco}}, they will oddly attempt to reflect the quake, which also fails.

Venusaur has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|25|583}}.

Venusaur's Japanese voice clip comes from a different part of ''Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden'' while its English voice clip is the same one used in ''Smash 64''.

===As a stage element===
[[File:Poke Floats Venusaur.png|thumb|200px|Venusaur's appearance on the Poke Floats stage.]]
A giant balloon of Venusaur (in actuality, the 3D model of Venusaur used in ''Pokémon Stadium'' for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that make the [[Poké Floats]] stage, along with [[Wooper]] and [[Snorlax]]. This Venusaur's flower petals act as fall-through platforms, and the stigma acts as a very short wall (and thus will cancel the momentum of a character that's been [[launch]]ed).

According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]] on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'', Venusaur and other Pokémon were planned to appear as stage elements on [[Pokémon Stadium]], much like its earlier role on Saffron City. Although its model and animations were completed, Venusaur was cut due to programming issues and relegated to a Poké Ball summon.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return553.html</ref>

===Trophy===
Venusaur features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly in the [[Trophy Lottery]].

Think of [[bulbapedia:Grass (type)|Grass-]] and [[bulbapedia:Poison (type)|Poison-type]] Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
Venusaur is briefly mentioned in [[Ivysaur]]'s trophy description.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
While regular Venusaur does not appear, its Mega Evolution features as a trophy in both versions of the game.

===Trophy===
In {{forwiiu}}, the Mega Venusaur trophy is part of the ''Mega Evolution'' [[Trophy Box]].

Not only does Venusaur get a large defense boost when it Mega Evolves, but the plants on its back grow so much, it looks like you're being attacked by a walking jungle. Now, that's got to be intimidating!

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:SSBU-Saffron_City2.png|thumb|200px|Venusaur attacking Rosalina in ''Ultimate''.]]
Venusaur reprises its role as a stage element in the returning stage [[Saffron City]]. Its English voice clip is re-recorded by Justin Anselmi, the character's voice actor since ''Pokémon the Series: XY''.
{{clrl}}

===Spirit===
Venusaur also appears as an Advanced-class [[primary spirit]]. In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], its spirit is found in the jungle area of [[The Light Realm]].

Venusaur's Spirit Battle uses a Giant red {{SSBU|Ivysaur}} puppet fighter and is fought on [[Garden of Hope]]'s [[Battlefield form]]. The floor is poisonous, referencing Venusaur's Poison type.
