Appearance of Venusaur
Venusaur is a four-legged Pokémon with smooth turquoise skin. It has tiny red eyes, a short, blunt nose, and a large mouth with two pointed upper teeth and four, pointed lower teeth. Small, pointy ears with reddish-pink insides sit atop Venusaur's head. A huge pink, white-spotted flower has bloomed from a bud on its back with a strong, brown trunk, which is surrounded by green fronds, supporting the flower. A Female Venusaur also has a seed on its back, which shows that it can give birth to a new Bulbasaur.
Behavior of Venusaur
The Venusaur's flower catches the sun's rays and converts them into energy, making the flower more vibrant. The flower has a pleasant aroma that attracts Pokémon while also calming emotions. After a wet day, the aroma intensifies. Venusaur has shown the power to influence nature releasing many vines from its back and leading Bulbasaur and Ivysaur's transformation ceremonies. Although this Pokémon is seldom seen in the wild, it has been observed in grasslands.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Lucario is a fighting and steel-type Pokémon. Due to possessing dual-types, it is stronger against a greater number of Pokemon as well, while simultaneously being weaker against many as well. It is the strongest against Grass types as it takes only a quarter of the normal damage from them. In contrast, it takes half the damage Water, Electric, Fairy, and Fighting-types. It’s week against Flying, Fire, Ice, Psychic-types such that it takes double the normal damage from each of these types.
Mega Venusaur
Venusaur Mega Evolves into Mega Venusaur. The flower on Mega Venusaur's back becomes larger, and two tiny pink flowers, one on its forehead and one on its back emerge. The weight of the flower causes its Mega Venusar's legs and back to become sturdier to support it. Around the bloom, additional leaves with woody stalks are developed, which are supported by vines. Under the new flower, Mega Venusaur acquires dark markings on its forehead.
Gmax Venusaur
It becomes larger as a Gigantamax Venusaur, with its flower growing such that it almost covers Venusaur's entire body. The eyes turn a bright orange color with a light green sclera. Gigantamax Venusaur gets a few additional green leaves as well as more petals; while the trunk shortens, the top of the bud becomes longer with three red clouds surrounding it.
Gigantamax Venusaur also bears several pale green markings on its belly with Its petals growing thicker and springier, to the point where they can deflect weak attacks. The vines of the Gigantamax Venusaur are strong enough to topple a 10-story structure, which makes it a lethal weapon for attacks. Its flower can spread pollen like a volcanic explosion such that breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting.
Shiny Venusaur
Since there are no community days near, on a normal day, the chances to get any existing shiny in Pokémon GO is about 1 in 230-260, based on past data for Pokémon like Magikarp or Sableye. Bulbasaur is available to be caught in the wild. If you want to catch Bulbasaur, go to a place where there are thick forests or parks. In your quest to finding Bulbasaur, you might end up finding a Shiny Bulbasaur which can be evolved into Shiny Venusaur.

Vine Whip is a damage-dealing Grass-type move introduced in Generation I where Venusaur strikes the target with slender, whiplike vines to inflict damage. Frenzy Plant allows Venusaur to slam the target with the roots of an enormous tree. This move inflicts 150 damage but then forces the user to recharge during the next turn.

How to catch in Pokémon Go?
Since Bulbasaur is available to be caught in the wild, it is preferable to go to an area with lush forests or parks to find one. They're only found in a few Pokestops. To catch a Bulbasaur, start looking for nests where 2KM eggs may be found. Once you find a nest, grab a 2KM egg and Hatch it. after you complete hatching, you'll be able to get a Bulbasaur. Many players claimed to have discovered and caught their first Bulbasaur in smaller parks. Once you have found a Bulbasaur, feed 25 candies and it evolves into Ivysaur. After getting an Ivysaur feed another 100 candles and it turns into a Venusaur.
