1: A goddamned, certified, downright amazingly badass
Pokemon that is honestly so underrated and underestimated it's easy to use it to shock and sweep someone's team if they aren't expecting it. also in the gyms and other matches in kanto it thrives. this thing can't be fucking poisoned. in the region with a fuckton of poison types. while Charizard is literally dying of poisons, and blastoise is slowly collapsing into seizures from toxins, Venusaur and its two earlier stages are just strolling through the tall grass, destroying bugs and trainers. Venusaur is an incredible Plant-Dinosaur-Protomammal-motherfucking
tree-god, and asks nothing of you, fucking respect this
pokemon. respect it and it
will make you a fucking
king/queen.
