003: Venusaur
Environment: Venusaur are only found in very large forests since they need a large amount of land to support them.
Rarity: Venusaur are very rare with only 5% of Ivysaur surviving to evolve; it is usual to only find one or two in any large forest and any group larger then five in one forest is practically unheard of.
Age: Venusaur generally live to around 50 years of age, the oldest found in the wild was 63 whilst the oldest in captivity was 70.
Diet: Because their bulb is now fully developed a Venusaur can actually obtain all it's energy through photosynthesis; however when it does anything energetic like battling or long distance migration it's bulb does not provide enough energy and a Venusaur will require food to help top up it's energy requirements. Venusaur when they eat will eat a large variety of plants, there is very little that its strong stomach can't handle.
Predators: Because of their large size and massive strength Venusaur are often ignored on favour of easier pray however they are most often picked off by Charizard, Salamence and other powerful Dragon types
Evolution: Venusaur is the end of it's evolution chain
Social: Venusaur are solitary creatures, more often than not found living alone; however mated pairs and even small family groups can form and have been observed. Venusaur are the most aggressive of their evolution tree however they will not strike unless provoked or they feel their children or mate is in danger.
Mating (pregnancy): Although Venusaur can and will mate at any time of year; their species does have a recognised mating season that stretches from early February to late March during this time any Venusaur that does not have a mate will try and seek one out, often migrating long distances to do so. A Venusaur's gestation is almost identical to that of a Ivysaur however there are a few notable differences; firstly a Venusaur gives birth to a small litter of two to four Bulbasaur and secondly the chances of mutation or other birth defects seems significantly lower in Venusaur than Ivysaur.
