Bulbizarre in the card deck

The card deck Pokémon is a card deck to be collected with a goal of the play similar to a Pokémon combat in the series of video games; the players must use charts (which have each one their forces and weaknesses) with an aim of overcoming its adversary by putting all its charts KB.

Bulbizarre was among the first Pokémon charts when the play had left in October 1996. The charts of Bulbizarre appeared little at the commencement of the series of card deck. In particular, the set Rocket contained a chart Salamèche and Carapuce, but not of Bulbizarre. Bulbizarre started to make more frequent appearances in the recent expansions, while starting with the set Expédition. The majority of the Bulbizarre charts are frequency " ordinaire" and can generally be found easily.

Herbizarre

This name is a Mot-valise words French Herbe and Bizarre . The Japanese name, Fushigisou , are a portemanteau word of the Japanese words for mystery or miracle (ja 不思議, fushigi ) and grass (草, sō ), and can also be translated by One would say that it is strange (不思議そう Fushigi sō ). Evolving/moving of Bulbizarre, Herbizarre is still squat, but broader, and develops more prominent canines. What was before a bulb on its back in its pre-evolution developed in bud. Herbizarre evolves/moves in Florizarre.

Biological characteristics

The size of the bud can increase so in direct contact with the sunlight, which forces Herbizarre to go to four legs. Even if, at this stage, the bulb is only a premature Fleur, it is still dubious if it is of a plant or an animal. To carry this additional weight reinforces and involves its legs for the final training course of its growth, although they never become enough powerful to remain upright on two legs, like Bulbizarre. The bud produces a pleasant scent when it is about to flower, and Herbizarre then will evolve/move in Florizarre.

Herbizarre in the plays

In the first generation of the Pokémon plays, the player can choose between Bulbizarre, Salamèche or Carapuce to begin his adventure. If the player chooses Bulbizarre, the rival of the protagonist will choose Salamèche, because Salamèche has an advantage of the type on Bulbizarre. Herbizarres cannot be found in a wild state, and can be only obtained while making evolve/move Bulbizarre by involving it on level 16. These three starting Pokémon are not available in the other plays of the series, except the remakes '' Rouge Fire '' and '' Vert Breaks into leaf ''. In spite of that, in the version Jaune, Bulbizarre can be obtained later in the play as a gift on behalf of an other character of the play, which agrees with the scenario of animates. Considering that the only manner of obtaining Herbizarre is to make evolve/move Bulbizarre, the availability of Bulbizarre influences the availability of Herbizarre directly. Herbizarre evolves/moves on level 32 in Florizarre.

There are seventeen various types of Pokémon, a special attribute which determines the forces and weaknesses of each species, distinguishing them from/to each other in a complex series of relations of the same kind as Pierre-sheet-scissors. Herbizarres are of Pokémon of the types plants and poison, therefore their attack are particularly effective against Pokémon of the types ground, rock, or water, while attacks of the psychological types, fire, ice, or flight are particularly effective against Herbizarres. The attacks of the types fights, water, electric, or plant have little effect on Herbizarres, and they have little effect on other Pokémon of the types plants or poison, as well as Pokémon of the types fire, flight, insect, iron, or dragon. All the other types do not have an advantage or of particular disadvantage vis-a-vis Herbizarre. Bulbizarre is thus regarded as a good choice for the beginners, considering the first two Pokémon arenas of Kanto are Pierre, which uses of Pokémon of the rock type, and Ondine, who uses of Pokémon of the water type. Moreover, the arena third and fourth champions are Major Bob, a specialist in Pokémon electric, and Erika, a specialist in Pokémon plants, and they do not have advantages on Bulbizarre and its advanced forms.

Another Herbizarre in the series belonged to a supporting character, Jimmy, an apprentice referee of Pokémon combat who had also a Reptincel and a Carabaffe, in the episode 368, in which the heroes travel accidentally to the Banaba island, where it has there a camp dedicated to the apprentices referees. The tutor of Jimmy, Sarina, request with Sacha and Pierre to make a battle with two against two, so that Jimmy can be exerted to arbitrate. The Hélédelle of Sacha tackles Pokémon of strong Pierre, and this last called to its Lombre to make pretense be KB. Jimmy is about to judge Lombre KB when Sarina stops it and says to him that it should observe the combat more attentively and that Lombre is always able to fight. Later this same evening, the group requires of Jimmy how it captured all its Pokémon. Jimmy explains why it started in Kanto with a Carapuce, which evolved/moved in Carabaffe during its voyage. He explains why one day, him and its Carabaffe was disputing on which would eat a rice ball, and which they accidentally made it fall from the hill. The rice ball then fell into the mouth from Herbizarre. This Herbizarre felt sorry for Jimmy and its Carabaffe and decided to join their team. And for Reptincel, Jimmy explains why it had captured Magicarpe gilded while sinning, and that a man who passed by there him proposed to exchange it against his Reptincel, proposal that Jimmy accepted.

Another Herbizarre was that of a girl, Crystal, in the Pokémon Chronicles , a collection of separate stories of the principal animated series. In episode 16, the Professor Chen and his assistant visit the nephew of Chen, Régis Chen on the Saida island, where Régis secretly has clone a Ptéra, extinct Pokémon. But when Chen and its assistant arrive, Ptéra is escaped laboratory and is trotted around the island. Kobara, enquiring, has a named little sister Misawo who controlled wild groups of Pokémon to help the heroes to find Ptéra. Misawo uses its Herbizarre to overcome the TEAM Rocket and to save Ptéra.

Herbizarre in the card deck

The card deck Pokémon is a card deck to be collected with a goal of the play similar to a Pokémon combat in the series of video games; the players must use charts (which have each one their forces and weaknesses) with an aim of overcoming its adversary by putting all its charts KB.

The majority of the Herbizarres charts are semi-advanced ordinary charts and are generally used to fight stronger charts (as of Pokémon completely advanced like Dracaufeu). Herbizarre appears in the basic set, the set Gym Challenge, the set Expédition, and set EX Rouge Fire & Vert Breaks into leaf, like in the promotional set of the Islands of the South.

Florizarre

This name is a Mot-valise of flor- , fragment of the word flora , and - izarre , fragment of the odd word . Its Japanese name, Fushigibana , can be seen like a combination of the words for mystery or miracle (ja 不思議, fushigi }} and of the word for flower (ja 花, hana ). Florizarres are broad animals reptiliens which walk to four legs. Like their pre-evolutions, Bulbizarre and Herbizarre, Florizarres have a plant on their back.

Biological characteristics

With this training course of its development, the plant on the back of Florizarre became an enormous flower (which resembles Rafflesia vaguely) that Florizarre uses to join together energy of the sun rays, emanating a pleasant odor in this process. because of that, Florizarres generally move towards the Sun; they are more powerful during the summer because they are able to absorb more sun rays. Odor created by its calm highly coloured flower adversaries in combat, as well as the human ones.

Florizarres are in greater numbers and grow more quickly in the hotter areas and with the comfortable atmospheres. Florizarres are known to be seldom considering when they are not the chief of a herd.

The female plant contains what appears to be a seed, which could be planted on Bulbizarre.

Florizarre in the plays

Florizarre can be obtained in the plays while making evolve/move Bulbizarre, one of the three species of Pokémon which the players can choose at the beginning of their adventure in the versions Rouge and Bleu (like their remakes Rouge Fire and Green Breaks into leaf). Florizarre can be obtained only while making evolve/move Herbizarre (which evolves/moves in Florizarre on level 32), which in its turn can be obtained only while making evolve/move Bulbizarre (which evolves/moves in Herbizarre on level 16). Thus the availability of Bulbizarre, which cannot be found in a wild state, determines the availability of Florizarre.

Florizarre makes also a small appearance in the series of plays Super Bros Smash. ; firstly in Super Bros Smash. , as Pokémon which appears in the level Saffron City , using the Tranch' capacity bleaches on grass on the players surrounding, and also as Pokémon emerging of Pokéballs, attacking the players surrounding with the Séisme capacity in Super Bros Smash. Fray

Florizarre in the Animates

In episode 51 of the first season, Sacha and its friends arrive in a secret garden where Bulbizarres evolve/move collectively in Herbizarres. Florizarre protects this garden against all except Herbizarres and Bulbizarres evolving/moving in Herbizarres. In episode 112, Drake, the champion of the Orange League, uses Florizarre in its combat against Sacha, but Florizarre is beaten by the Tauros of Sacha. In the season Advanced Challenge , there is an episode called Grass Hysteria , where Florizarre keeps a forest of Pokémon plants. It lets pass Sacha and Flora, and encourages Bulbizarre to accompany Flora. In a tournament in the area of Hoenn, the Galifeu of Flora beats Florizarre.

In the first Pokémon film, Mewtwo has clone Bulbizarre which since evolved/moved in Florizarre and uses it (with dimensions clones of Dracaufeu and Tortank) to beat the adjusters that it invited on its island to fight. At the end, Mewtwo and its clones give up and are exiled towards a not-revealed destination, but they reappear in second film.
