'''Ivysaur''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. Like {{PM|Charizard}} and {{PM|Squirtle}}, it has been separated from the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} and so fights alone. Its [[down special move]], [[Pokémon change]], has been replaced with {{s|bulbapedia|Seed Bomb}} and it has also been given significant buffs. | '''Ivysaur''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''.

Ivysaur ranks 28th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], toward the midst of the C tier, roughly the same placement as Pokémon Trainer in ''Brawl''. However, as Ivysaur was considered near-useless as a standalone character in ''Brawl'', this is a significant increase in apparent viability. | Ivysaur ranks 28th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], toward the midst of the C tier, roughly the same placement as Pokémon Trainer in ''Brawl''. However, as Ivysaur was considered near-useless as a standalone character in ''Brawl'', this is a significant increase in apparent viability. In the official ''[[Project +]]'' tier list, it places at an even higher placement of 19th, landing in the bottom of A tier. | ||
