Callie joins us one last time (for now) as we wrap up the Bulbasaur family with Venusaur! It's time see what this frog can really do as we ask the important questions like: What does it smell like? How can it help recovering ecosystems? How can we avoid exploiting its utilities within the constraints of capitalism? Y'know, typical Pokemon stuff! Follow along with the entries below:
Red and Blue:
The plant blooms when it is absorbing solar energy. It stays on the move to seek sunlight.
Yellow:
The flower on its back catches the sun’s rays. The sunlight is then absorbed and used for energy.
Gold:
By spreading the broad petals of its flower and catching the sun’s rays, it fills its body with power.
Silver:
It is able to convert sunlight into energy. As a result, it is more powerful in the summertime.
Crystal:
As it warms itself and absorbs the sunlight, its flower petals release a pleasant fragrance.
Ruby & Sapphire:
There is a large flower on VENUSAUR’s back. The flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight. The flower’s aroma soothes the emotions of people.
FireRed:
A bewitching aroma wafts from its flower. The fragrance becalms those engaged in a battle.
Emerald:
VENUSAUR’s flower is said to take on vivid colors if it gets plenty of nutrition and sunlight. The flower’s aroma soothes the emotions of people.
Diamond Pearl & Platinum:
After a rainy day, the flower on its back smells stronger. The scent attracts other Pokémon.
BTB:
Venusaur follows the sun and smells great doing it. It's got a real big mouth.
Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu (Mega Venusaur):
In order to support its flower, which has grown larger due to Mega Evolution, its back and legs have become stronger.
Sword (Gigantamax Venusaur):
In battle, this Pokémon swings around two thick vines. If these vines slammed into a 10-story building, they could easily topple it.
Shield (Gigantamax Venusaur):
Huge amounts of pollen burst from it with the force of a volcanic eruption. Breathing in too much of the pollen can cause fainting.
