Ivysaur: Difference between revisions

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl ''===

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Ivysaur is voiced by [[bulbapedia:Craig Blair|Craig Blair]], who previously voiced it in the Generation I-V ''Pokémon'' anime.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Ivysaur appears as one of [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s three Pokémon along with [[Squirtle]] and [[Charizard]]. Its standard special move is [[#Bullet Seed|Bullet Seed]], which involves it shooting seeds directly upward, its up special is [[#Vine Whip|Vine Whip]], which has it attack with a vine that strikes upward, and its side special is [[#Razor Leaf|Razor Leaf]], which involves it throwing it a grass projectile forward. Its down special is [[Pokémon Trainer#Pokémon Change|Pokémon Change]], in which the Pokémon Trainer returns Ivysaur and sends out Charizard, or sends it out if Squirtle is the active Pokémon. For the group's collective [[Final Smash]], [[Pokémon Trainer#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]], Ivysaur attacks with [[bulbapedia:Solar Beam (move)|SolarBeam]].

Ivysaur has a certain amount of stamina, which decreases as he remains on the battlefield and weakens its attacking power. Ivysaur also has an extended grab in the form of two vines, but unlike other characters it does not function as a [[tether recovery]]; this is instead given to Vine Whip. In addition, Ivysaur, like in the ''Pokémon'' games, takes less damage from water attacks but takes more from fire attacks.

Ivysaur is found during the [[Subspace Emissary]] part of the game as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] sitting inside a cave before Pokémon Trainer battles Charizard. Pokémon Trainer throws a [[Poké Ball]] at it and it is caught. After that Ivysaur can be used during the campaign.

The concept of switching between Pokémon is omitted, causing Charizard to return as a standalone fighter, while Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Ivysaur are not playable. Ivysaur, does however, appear as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] alongside Squirtle and Pokémon Trainer.

Ivysaur reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a playable character, alongside Pokémon Trainer and Squirtle. Ivysaur's design is updated to reflect its current appearance, while it is now voiced by Justin Alsemi, who has voiced it since ''[[Bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X and Y]]''.

'''[[bulbapedia:Bullet Seed (move)|Bullet Seed]]''' is a [[bulbapedia:Grass (type)|Grass]]-type attack in the ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' series, and Ivysaur's standard special move. When used, Ivysaur launches a continuous stream of seeds into the air from the bulb on its back for a limited time or until the player releases the special attack button. Any nearby opponents when the move is first initiated are also hit by Ivysaur and launched into the path of the seeds. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Bullet Seed now receives a finishing hit, enabling it KO easily.
