Biology
Bulbasaur is a small Pokémon that has green skin with darker patches. It has red eyes with white pupils, pointed, ear-like structures on top of its head, and a short, blunt snout with a wide mouth. A pair of small, pointed teeth are visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. On its back is a green plant bulb, which is grown from a seed planted there at birth. The bulb provides it with energy through photosynthesis as well as from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.
Name Origin
The name Bulbasaur is a combination of the two words "Bulb" which is a underground storage organ in some plants and the word "Saur" which means lizard in Greek.
