the Fun Fact Pokedex!

post as many fun facts as you want that are about the Pokemon whose pokedex number we're currently on. try to have them come from your mind.

I'll start, with some fun facts about Bulbasaur.

# Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
# Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex order. By default, this also makes it the first Grass-type, Poison-type, dual-type Pokémon, unevolved Pokémon, and starter Pokémon in National Pokédex order.



* Since in Generation I, the Bug-type was super-effective against Poison-type Pokémon, Bulbasaur was also the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order with a double weakness (to Bug). Due to Generation II's changes to type effectiveness, this "honor" has since been taken by Charizard, which has a double weakness to Rock-type moves.

# Bulbasaur and its evolutions share the same species name as Sunkern. They both are known as the Seed Pokémon.
# Bulbasaur's number in the National Pokédex and the Fiore Browser is the same: 001. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
# Along with Charmander and Squirtle, Bulbasaur is the only starter Pokémon which is found in more than one regional Pokédex, being found in both Kanto's and Johto's.
# Bulbasaur is the only dual-typed unevolved starter Pokémon, with Grass and Poison, in its basic form.
# Though Bulbasaur have no gender differences in the games, May's Bulbasaur has little hearts on its head while Ash's does not, and has been confirmed female after its evolution.

* It's also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the anime with a heart-shaped spot, the others being Spinda and Wooper.

# Bulbasaur is the only Pokémon that can learn Petal Dance by breeding, while its final evolution learns it by leveling up.
# Aside from Pikachu, Bulbasaur was on Ash's team for the longest continuous period of time.
# In Generation IV, there exists a glitch Pokémon (Invisible shiny Bulbasaur) that has the same cry as Bulbasaur.


Have fun! Next is Ivysaur.

-------Ivysaur's-------
Much like its previous form, most of Ivysaur's abilities originate from the plant on its back. Naturally, these attacks are stronger than Bulbasaur's.

Its abilities focus on the manipulation of petals, powders, and scents more than vines and leaves, most likely because of the larger flower on its back.

In the anime, Ivysaur are shown to manipulate nature.

Behavior
Being much more commonly found in captivity then in the wild, Ivysaur's natural behavior is largely unknown, but it can be theorized that they are more aggressive than Bulbasaur, although it is still very loyal to its trainer. When its plant is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct, strong sweet-smelling aroma and starts swelling. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Like its plant, exposure to sunlight adds to Ivysaur's strength.

Habitat
Ivysaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water but can be found in forests and jungles. However, they are rare, as many are in captivity. They are normally native to Kanto.

Venusaur
Most like its previous forms, most of its attacks come from the plant on its back. It mostly uses vines, leaves, seeds, spores, and solar power for its attacks.

Appearance: Venusaurs have a large red flower six white spotted petals. The trunk on its back appears to be a palm tree's trunk. Venusaur seems to have frog - like warts instead of patches, on its skin. The inner circle of their eyes are red.

Behavior: Venusaurs are mostly calm and collected pokemon like Torterra. Venusaurs also lead evolution rituals of their pre - evolved forms Bulbusaur and Ivysaur.

Habitat: Venuaur habitats usually contain lots of plants and flowers in a large grassland with sunshine and fresh water. They are also found in forests and jungles. Venusaurs are mostly native to Kanto.

Charmander!
Charmander is the first Fire-type Pokémon and the first single-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
In the first generation, on its sprite and first artwork, Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later generations. Charmander also had these spikes in the Pokémon Adventures manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on Kai Midorikawa's Charmander from the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga.
Charmander is the tallest Fire-type starter Pokémon.
Charmander is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon in the Monster egg group.
It is also the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is based on a reptile.
In the first generation, Charmander and its evolutionary line are capable of learning Leer. However, in later generations, this move is replaced by Scary Face.
In Generation IV, Charmander's level-up moveset is the smallest of all starter Pokémon.
It is possible that Charmander's tail flame may be more resilient than a regular flame, as it has withstood being extinguished by Ice- and Water-type moves in the games without death. Also, some Pokédex entries state Charmander's tail flame as "producing steam" when it rains, while a flame of the size of Charmander's tail would normally be put out by rain.
Regarding its flame, its FireRed Pokédex entry states that its life would end if the flame on its tail would go out. However, in the console games, its flame effectively stops burning if Charmander (or its evolutions) is affected by a freeze.
Along with Bulbasaur and Squirtle, Charmander is the only starter Pokémon which is found in more than one regional Pokédex, being found in both Kanto's and Johto's.
Charmander and its evolution family are the only Pokémon who have flames as part of their bodies that do not go out naturally (with the Pokémon still being alive).
Charmander can learn the move Metal Claw by leveling up in Generation III, exclusively in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, but can only learn it by breeding in Generation IV and Generation V.
Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved starter Pokémon.
In the film Austin Powers in Goldmember, in the scene where the 'Godzilla' (Actually Foxxy Cleopatra, Austin and Nigel Powers' Mini trapped within a Godzilla float) moves about destroying everything, an actor in the foreground, wearing a Charmander suit, and another actor, in the background wearing a Pikachu suit, can be seen trying to move away from the ensuing chaos.
In the US TV show, Malcolm in the Middle, a Charmander doll can be seen sitting on the bed in some episodes, along with a Squirtle doll.

#005, Charmeleon!

* Charmeleon and Charizard share the same species name as Flareon, Moltres, and Infernape. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charmeleon is one of the two members of a Generation I evolution family of a starter Pokémon not to have appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series. The other member is Wartortle.
* Charmeleon and its evolution family are the only Pokémon who have flames as part of their bodies that do not go out naturally (with the Pokémon still being alive).
o However, in the console games, if the Pokémon is afflicted by a freeze, its flame will effectively stop burning.
* In Generation I, Charmeleon is capable of learning Leer. However, in Generation II and onwards, this move is replaced by Scary Face.
* Curiously, Charmeleon can learn Metal Claw via leveling up in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, but in Generation IV it can only learn it as an egg move.

I'm torn on whether or not to close this, because most of the post are copy pasta from bulbapedia. Come on guys, at least TRY to word it differently. I see this as spam...
