'''Bullet Seed''' ({{ja|タネマシンガン}}, ''Seed Machine Gun'') is {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}'s [[neutral special move]]. With this move, Ivysaur will send a barrage of seeds ascending from its bulb, inflicting 40%-50% damage to foes trapped within the assault.  Any opponents to Ivysaur's immediate left and right hit by the animation will get launched into the stream of seeds, making the move even more effective with its hidden small horizontal range. The special attack button can be held to continuously shoot seeds, but the maximum is 5 seconds (similar to the actual ''Pokémon'' games, where it can only hit up to five times). The sheer damage and the opponent being caught in the air offers Ivysaur's powerful up-smash as a follow up move to knock the opponent off the screen.


Interestingly, Bullet Seed actually does more damage if the opponent is ''not'' struck by the initial shockwave, keeping them much closer to Ivysaur. Over 70% damage can be dealt this way.

==Overview==
Bullet Seed is a move where Ivysaur shoots a barrage of seeds upwards from its bulb, trapping opponents in the rapid hits and dealing repeated damage to them. At the start of the move, there is a hitbox at Ivysaur's sides to launch opponents into the attack. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Bullet Seed can deal 40%-50% damage to a trapped opponent. If the opponent is trapped optimally (without the initial hit), the move can deal over 70% damage. If the special button is held, it will last up to 5 seconds. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the move's maximum potential damage output is reduced to about 20% damage. The move also has a finishing hit at the end which launches the victim away, making it less punishable, but reducing follow-up potential. If the special button is held, it will last up to 2 seconds.

Overview[edit]

Bullet Seed is a move where Ivysaur shoots a barrage of seeds upwards from its bulb, trapping opponents in the rapid hits and dealing repeated damage to them. At the start of the move, there is a hitbox at Ivysaur's sides to launch opponents into the attack. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Bullet Seed can deal 40%-50% damage to a trapped opponent. If the opponent is trapped optimally (without the initial hit), the move can deal over 70% damage. If the special button is held, it will last up to 5 seconds. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the move's maximum potential damage output is reduced to about 20% damage. The move also has a finishing hit at the end which launches the victim away, making it less punishable, but reducing follow-up potential. If the special button is held, it will last up to 2 seconds.
