      ⚔️ Raids - Ivysaur doesn't have the stats to make it to PvE contention 😬

      🛡️ Gyms - The huge rose 🌹 on its back makes for a pretty picture in Gyms 📷

      🔮 Dynamax Ivysaur is a good Grass-type attacker for Squirtle Max Battles, but evolving it is the charm.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🔵 Great League - Unlike most of its peers, Ivysaur is quite viable in the Great League! 😍 Its well-balanced stats help it fit like a glove in this platform, and its moveset combo of Vine Whip and Power Whip make it a scary Grass-type Pokémon 🍃
      Additionally, Sludge Bomb helps tackle Fairy Pokémon, fulfilling a great niche ✌🏻

      🟡 Ultra League - Ivysaur’s glory sadly starts and ends at the Great League. Don't bother using it in the Ultra League unless you evolve it.

      Photobomb

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Ivysaur's Grass and Poison-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Ivysaur.

      Grass Grass

      Poison Poison

      Pokédex informationMore information

      Mega and Primal Raid BonusMega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

      Mega and Primal Catch BonusWhile a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.
