Read more ↓Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon, is a beloved Grass/Poison-type starter from the Kanto region, introduced in Generation I. It is iconic for its bulb on its back, which grows as it evolves. This bulb absorbs sunlight for energy, allowing Bulbasaur to go days without eating. Its natural habitat is often depicted as lush forests and grasslands, thriving in environments where it can soak up ample sunlight. Bulbasaur is known for its gentle yet resilient nature, often acting as a leader among its peers. It evolves into Ivysaur and then into Venusaur, forming a powerful evolutionary line. In the games, Bulbasaur is a popular choice for new trainers due to its early access to status-inflicting moves and its advantageous typing against the first two Gym Leaders. In the anime, Ash's Bulbasaur is a fan favorite, known for its strong will and loyalty, often serving as a protector for other Pokémon. Its cultural significance extends beyond being a starter; Bulbasaur represents the beginning of many trainers' journeys and holds a special place in the hearts of long-time fans.
