==Physiology and Behaviour==
⚫
==Appearances==
  
  +
Like its previous forms Venusaur is a green-blue reptilian creature. While it in its earlier shapes also shared traits with amphibians, its rougher skin and more menacing expression have made these influences less noticeable. Following the evolution its body size has become heavier and more robust. Its eyes have also grown rounder, and the insides of the ears are now red. The most noticeable change is that the bulb it has carried on its back since birth has finally bloomed. It is now a big red flower supported by a palm-like trunk, consisting of six petals with white markings. In the middle of the flower there is a spiked yellow area where female Venusaurs carries a seed. The flower absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy, resulting in Venusaurs reaching maximum strength during summertime. This also leads to it always searching for sunny places. The vivacity of the flower's color is also affected by the amount of sunlight and nutrients it receives. Moreover the flower releases an aroma that attracts other Pokémon. It smells the strongest in rainy weather.
   
  +
Due to its rarity, Venusaurs seldomly appear in the wild. In regions where [[Pokémon trainer]]s live, they only appears under control by trainers, but in other areas they can sometimes be seen in jungles and forests, as well as grassy plains. In these places they often appear as protectors of larger groups of Bulbasaurs and Ivysaurs. Venusaurs also seems to be attracted to forest temples of various kinds.

Veusaur does not seem to have any single specific source of inspiration.

The seed acts as en energy reserve for its host and supplied it with nutrients when it was young. In turn Venusaur acts a mean of protection. Based on its habit of seeking the sunlight, it may thus also guarantee the plant to be in the direct sunlight, so that it can store energy and grow. Venusaur's appearance seems to be inspired by several different types of animals. It shares traits with reptiles, amphibians as well as mammals.

Venusaur's name is a mixture of ''venus'', as in ''Venus Flytrap'', and ''dinosaur'', or possibly ''saur'' which means lizard in Greek. Its Japanese name comes from ''strange'' and ''flower''.
