Role in World of Light[]

The male Pokémon Trainer was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands, and he brought his three Pokémon with him, including Ivysaur.

During the opening cutscene, Ivysaur was sent out by Pokémon Trainer, along with Squirtle and Charizard, shortly before Galeem unleashed his beams of light. Under Pokémon Trainer's command, Ivysaur used Solar Beam in an attempt to fight the beams of light, but this attempt failed. Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard were all vaporized and placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the other fighters, excluding Kirby.

Pokémon Trainer can be found at the southeast near the maze that resembles Pac-Maze. Defeating him allows access to all three Pokémon.

Tips[]

Tips about a character's background and how to use that character can appear at random intervals on the loading screen. The player can also access the full list of tips at any time in the "Vault" section. The tips regarding Ivysaur are categorized as tips for Pokemon Trainer.

  • Ivysaur's Origins: Ivysaur debuted in Pokemon Red and Blue, released in North America in 1998. Due to the favorable type matchups, Ivysaur was very useful against Rock-type and Water-type opponents in the beginning Gyms.
  • In Its Series: Ivysaur is the evolved form of Bulbasaur, one of the three Pokemon you can choose in the beginning. Compared to the other two Pokemon, you can reach the third form, Venusaur, quickest.
  • Bullet Seed (Neutral Special): Ivysaur's Bullet Seed move not only shoots seeds, but if an opponent touches its body while it's using the move, that opponent can get launched!
  • Bullet Seed Firing Time (Neutral Special): Holding the special-move button will make Bullet Seed last longer. You'll be open to attack from the side, but if it hits, it deals a lot of damage.
  • Razor Leaf (Side Special): Quickly flick the control stick to the side as you press the button to shoot leaves farther. The trajectory of the leaves is random. They may fly diagonally instead of straight to the side.
  • Vine Whip (Up Special): Vine Whip can be used as many times as you want in midair and the direction it shoots out can be changed slightly. It can be used to grab the edge when falling off the stage.
  • Triple Finish (Final Smash): The three Pokemon combine their powers for this Final Smash. Ivysaur's Solar Beam has a long range and traps opponents hit by the attack.
  • Exploding Flower (Up Smash): It has a very high launch power, but the move is slow to activate. Use this move a bit early and try to predict where the opponent will land or where they will go after dodging.
  • Pollen from Bloom: Ivysaur's up smash, up air, and down air attacks all release pollen from the bud on its back. These moves excel at launching opponents.
