Ivysaur

"'To support its bulb, Ivysaur's legs grow sturdy. If it spends more time lying in the sunlight, the bud will soon bloom into a large flower.' —Hoenn Pokedex, Ver. 3.3"

Biology
Ivysaur is a quadrupedal Pokemon covered in scales. Its body is blue-green dotted with dark green patches. Like its prevolution Bulbasaur, Ivysaur has a bulb on its back; however, the protective outer covering, or tunic, of the bulb has fallen away and Ivysaur's back now sports a flower bud and four leaves.

Habitat
Ivysaurs are indigenous to Kanto, in much scarcer numbers than the already rare Bulbasaur. Small pockets of the population are scattered throughout the various forested areas in both Kanto and Alola, and evidence of Ivysaur populations have been discovered in other regions, although no sightings have been confirmed.

Ivysaurs tend to live in clusters of three or four, alongside one or two Venusaur and a several more Bulbasaurs. A group of Ivysaurs - and other members of the Bulbasaur line - is called a "parade".

Sleep Cycle
Ivysaurs are a diurnal species, and are known to rise and sleep with the sun cycle.

Habitat
Ivysaurs are hardy,

Diet
Ivysaurs are photosynthesizers. They are able to absorb sunlight to create nutrients from which they gain energy through a process known as photosynthesis. Excess nutrients are stored in the bulb, which can be later used in the absence of sunlight (similar to using a phone battery when it is and isn't plugged in).

Aggression
Ivysaurs are more aggressive than Bulbasaurs and more mobile than their evolution Venusaur, often leading to them being designated as a population's

Population Variance
The bulb structure from a Bulbasaur dictates the size, shape, color and extraneous features of the Ivysaur's bud. Some breeds, such as the "Vileplume Sweet" and the "Blue Tangle", don't vary much aside from bulb color and leaf composition, while others may include non-standard extremities such as the spikes on the "Spiky Shield" crossbreed and the eponymous garland that wraps around the bud of the "Garland" Ivysaur.

Regulations
By United Pokemon Conservation Committee (UPCC) standards, Ivysaur is a critically endangered species. Ivysaurs are strictly prohibited from being captured in the wild. Trainers and civilians looking to own an Ivysaur are encouraged to raise a domestic Bulbasaur in order to evolve it, rather than adopt an already-evolved Ivysaur.

Bulbasaur is considered a Category 0 Evolved Pokemon. Ivysaurs evolved from Bulbasaurs require either physical or digital documentation. In order to adopt an already-evolved Ivysaur, one must be at or equivalent to the training rank of registered trainer or research aide.
