Bulbasaur is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It requires one Colorless energy to retreat. The card features a single attack named Leech Seed, which costs two Grass energy and deals 20 damage. This attack allows the player to remove one damage counter from Bulbasaur unless all damage is prevented. The flavor text describes a unique trait: a plant grows on its back from a seed planted at birth. Bulbasaur has a weakness to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card is part of the Base set, released in 1999, and is classified as a Common rarity. Its theme color is a shade of green, matching its Grass typing.
A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. Thus, a plant sprouted and now grows with this Pokémon.
