Ivysaur is the Grass/Poison-type middle stage of the Bulbasaur line, evolving from Bulbasaur at level 16 and into Venusaur at level 32. The bud on its back has grown large enough by this stage that Ivysaur can no longer stand comfortably on its hind legs, spending most of its time on all fours.
The bud is heavy and requires Ivysaur to strengthen its legs and trunk to support the weight, which explains why its HP and defensive stats improve notably over Bulbasaur's. Ivysaur's Special Attack reaches 80, giving it meaningful punch with Grass and Poison moves. It has appeared in the TCG since the Base Set era and remains a consistent mid-tier trade card. Figures of Ivysaur appear alongside the rest of the Kanto starter lines in most main-series figure sets.
