Story

Bulbasaur is a charming little Pokémon known as the Seed Pokémon. It’s recognized by the unique plant bulb on its back, which has been with it since birth. This bulb isn’t just for show—it gives Bulbasaur energy by soaking up the sun's rays, and it's central to its growth. With strong, slender vines hidden inside the bulb, Bulbasaur can reach for tasty Berries high in the trees. Living mostly in grasslands and forests, Bulbasaur is often napping under the warm sunlight to recharge.

Though wild Bulbasaurs are hard to find, many Trainers get them as their first Pokémon because they're known to be very loyal. These Pokémon have a gentle side, often seen caring for younger Pokémon. They love to rock little ones gently to sleep with their vines. When ready, the bulb on Bulbasaur's back flashes blue, indicating it's time to evolve into Ivysaur. But if Bulbasaur isn’t ready to change, it can hold back the transformation, waiting for the right moment. Every year, many Bulbasaurs come together in a secret garden for a special evolution ceremony, making them not only rare but also incredibly special!
