Its most notable feature, though, is the bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back when it is born. The bulb is similar to Paras, and Parasect's tochukaso mushrooms which are also planted at birth. However, Bulbasaur, and its bulb share a symbiotic relationship rather than a parasitic one. Bulbasaur usually walk around on four legs, but in this stage they also have the ability to rise up on their hind legs. Bulbasaur have a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines, and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like Leech Seed, Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, and Petal Dance, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal with the bulb. Most Bulbasaur are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by Professor Oak. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are often considered the easiest Pokémon to start with in Kanto since they are strong, not likely to misbehave, and have a type advantage over the first two Kanto Gym Leaders. They can often have a strong loyalty streak. a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its Trainer in the sewers, where it lived for many years. When it finally returned to the surface, it was not upset about being abandoned by its trainer. In fact, it was simply glad to see him again. Bulbasaur can also be found lying in the sun during the day for photosynthesis. They mainly do this during times of scarcity of food. Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers. Much like most Pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an omnivore. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun. Bulbasaur appears to be based on some form of Dicynodont, mammal-like reptiles from the Permian. Its bulb resembles that of a lily. Bulbasaur's name is a combination of the words "bulb", and "saur", which is Greek for lizard.
