Collector Insights

Ivysaur is a Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP. It requires one Colorless energy to retreat. The card features two attacks: Vine Whip, which costs Grass and two Colorless energy to deal 30 damage, and Poisonpowder, which uses three Grass energy to deal 20 damage and poison the defending Pokémon. Ivysaur’s flavor text describes how its bulbous back grows large, causing it to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs. The card has no resistances but is weak to Fire attacks multiplied by two. It was released in the Base set in 1999 and is classified as Uncommon rarity. The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, and its theme color is a muted greenish-brown. The card’s design aligns with its Grass-type identity and evolutionary lineage.

When the bulb on its back grows large, the Pokémon seems to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs.
