Ivysaur and evolution explanation

Pokemon number 002 - Ivysaur

Here we have Pokemon number 002. Ivysaur which is the evolved form of Bulbasaur. (First a little information on what evolution is). Some Pokemon go through something called Evolution. Evolution is when a Pokemon meets certain conditions such as levels, stones, happiness, trading, etc. There are some others and i will get to those later. Evolution CAN be stopped and that Pokemon will learn moves sooner and keep it's form. Which is the benefit of not evolving. The benefits of evolution is the Pokemon will change it's form and become much stronger in all areas. 

All the information for using Ivysaur in the game is all the same as Bulbasaur except it will be a little stronger but it's all the same basics. 

Ivysaur's pokedex descriptions by generation:

Gen 1 - When the bulb on its back grows large, it appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs.

Gen 1 (yellow only) - The bulb on its back grows by drawing energy. It gives off an aroma when it is ready to bloom.

Gen 2 (gold & heart Gold) - Exposure to sunlight adds to its strength. Sunlight also makes the bud on its back grow larger.

Gen 2 (silver & soul silver) - If the bud on its back starts to smell sweet, it is evidence that the large flower will soon bloom.

Gen 3 (ruby and sapphire) -There is a bud on this Pokemon’s back. To support its weight, Ivysaur’s legs and trunk grow thick and strong. If it starts spending more time lying in the sunlight, it’s a sign that the bud will bloom into a large flower soon.

Gen 3 (emerald) - To support its bulb, Ivysaur’s legs grow sturdy. If it spends more time lying in the sunlight, the bud will soon bloom into a large flower.

Gen 4 & 5 - When the bud on its back starts swelling, a sweet aroma wafts to indicate the flower’s coming bloom.

As you can clearly see, they are all the same thing, just worded slightly differently (which in my opinion is pointless and a waste of time and game component space).

Ivysaur's weaknesses:

Now because when Bulbasaur evolves, it's type does NOT change, neither does it's weaknesses.

Regular defenses - Normal, Poison, Ground, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Steel.

Half effective defenses (means not very effective) - Water, Electric, Grass (actually Grass is 1/4 not 1/2), and Fighting.

Super Effective (does double damage) - Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic.

For a list of move sets throughout the different generations of moves through level up, eggs, move tutors, TM's , and HM's you can go to this link.

Now as for locations...Ivysaur CANNOT be caught in any generation and MUST be gotten though trading of evolving a Bulbasaur.

Evolution:

Ivysaur evolves from Bulbasaur at level 16 and evolves into Venusaur at level 32 and I will discuss more about Venusaur in my next post.

Hope you enjoyed this post and learned more about this Pokemon :)

Make some easy cash online

Hey everyone, on a side note from my Pokemon blog, I thought I would share this website with you all. It is a fast and easy way to make money online. All you have to do is sign up for free and you make money from reading e-mails, taking surveys, referring other, and you even get $5 just for signing up. You get your first check and get gold status for even more bonuses after you accumulate up to $30. If you keep up with it, you can make a decent amount of money very quickly. However, if you slack off and hardly ever take surveys or do anything, you will still accumulate money, but it will be very slow. Take my word for it. I have been a member for a while and in the beginning, it was very slow because i wasn't dedicated. If you dedicate yourself and even set some time aside each day for it and I promise you, you won't regret it.

Bulbasaur

Pokemon Number 001 - Bulbasaur

This is the first Pokemon in the pokedex. It is one of the first starter Pokemon in the red and blue games for Game Boy color (the other 2 being Squirtle and Charmander). Bulbasaur is the easiest of the starter Pokemon to train for unknown reasons and that is just the way the game is programmed. Bulbasaur is the grass type Pokemon (which in my opinion is the worst Pokemon type due to it's many weaknesses which i will discuss later in this post). Bulbasaur in red and blue is ONLY available as a starter Pokemon and can NOT be caught anywhere else so if you do not choose him, the only way to get him is to do one of 2 things. Trade with someone that does have him or cheat, (I usually had to end up cheating lol) In Pokemon Yellow which is another first generation game, you start off with Pikachu as your only choice. Bulbasaur can be gotten after defeating misty (gym leader #2) in the house to the left of the gym.


Bulbasaur's pokedex descriptions by generation:

Gen 1 - A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokemon.

Gen 1 (yellow only) - It can go for days without eating a single morsel. In the bulb on its back, it stores energy.

Gen 2 (silver & soul silver) - It carries a seed on its back right from birth. As it grows older, the seed also grows larger.

Gen 2 (gold & heart gold) - The seed on its back is filled with nutrients. The seed grows steadily larger as its body grows.

Gen 3 - Bulbasaur can be seen napping in bright sunlight. There is a seed on its back. By soaking up the sun’s rays, the seed grows progressively larger.

Gen 4 & 5 - For some time after its birth, it grows by gaining nourishment from the seed on its back.

As you can clearly see, they are all the same thing, just worded slightly differently (which in my opinion is pointless and a waste of time and game component space).

Bulbasaur's weaknesses:

Regular defenses - Normal, Poison, Ground, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Steel.

Half effective defenses (means not very effective) - Water, Electric, Grass (actually Grass is 1/4 not 1/2), and Fighting.

Super Effective (does double damage) - Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic.

The above link also has the locations which is Pallet town for Gen 1 and 2 except for Yellow which is in Cerulean City (not stated on the website).

Also, When Pokemon X & Y information is released, I will update this post and the same goes for all other posts (which will be several hundred).

Now for the main part, using Bulbasaur as a starter. Bulbasaur is not by any means a bad Pokemon but in the long run, if you decide to use him through the whole game, you will strongly regret your decision to do that and here is why. For gym 1 and 2 Bulbasaur is a GREAT Pokemon to use because with the right levels and moves, he can take them down single-handed. Then once you hit gym 3, he's pretty useless against all the gyms until 7. Then once again in victory road, he's almost 100% useless. he will be effective against a few Pokemon here and there in the Pokemon league. Bulbasaur also evolves twice.

Evolutions:

At level 16 Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur and then at level 32 Ivysaur evolves into Venusaur. (I will do more information on them in their own posts).

Pokemon Information Introduction

BLOG INTRODUCTION

Hello Everyone!

First I will tell you a little bit about my inspiration to make this blog. I am a huge Pokemon fan. I have played nearly all of the Pokemon games from Red, Blue, Yellow etc. all the way through to Black and White 2 and plan to get X and/or Y. I have also played the Pokemon pinball games, Pokemon stadiums, and Pokemon conquest. I however have not played some of the Pokemon games on the Wii because I do not own a Wii but may eventually get one and play those games as well. I want to share my love for Pokemon and I have vast knowledge of the games and the Pokemon themselves so I want to share my knowledge to help people learn and hopefully find the game(s) more enjoyable.

This blog will be an organized blog about pretty much anything you could want to learn about Pokemon. Each Pokemon will have it's own post for simple navigation to find what you want to know and skip what you already know or don't care to know. It will contain move sets, locations, pokedex descriptions, pictures of the Pokemon, and my own suggestions and opinions of that specific Pokemon. It will contain all legendaries and specific event Pokemon. If anyone has anything to they would like to add make sure to leave it in a comment for everyone else to see and I may even add it into the post.
