How to Get Venusaur in Pokémon Infinite Fusion: Best Fusions, Stats, and Evolution

Want a Pokémon that tanks hits, spreads status, heals itself, and still hits like a truck? That is Venusaur in Pokémon Infinite Fusion. The Grass/Poison starter has been a competitive staple for decades, and in Infinite Fusion it is even better: 100/100 defenses with 100 Special Attack, the best status movepool of any starter, a Chlorophyll sun set that outspeeds half the game, and some of the strongest fusion combinations in the entire game — including the legendary Venustoise.

This guide covers everything: Venusaur’s stats and abilities, how to get Bulbasaur in Pokémon Infinite Fusion and evolve it all the way to Venusaur, the best natures, EVs, and movesets, how to use Venusaur as fusion material in both the head and body slots, the best Venusaur fusions, Mega Venusaur, and answers to the most common questions. Quick note: this is a fan-written guide for a fan game, not an official resource.

Venusaur at a Glance

• National Dex: #3
• Type: Grass / Poison
• HP: 80
• Attack: 82
• Defense: 83
• Sp. Attack: 100
• Sp. Defense: 100
• Speed: 80
• Total: 525
• Abilities: Overgrow — Hidden: Chlorophyll

That 80/83/100 bulk with 100 Special Attack is the whole story: Venusaur is one of the few Pokémon that is simultaneously a genuine wall and a genuine attacker. Overgrow powers up Grass moves when Venusaur is weakened, which turns close games into comeback wins. The hidden ability Chlorophyll doubles Speed in harsh sunlight, which transforms Venusaur from a bulky tank into a terrifying sweeper. Both are worth building around, and they give Venusaur two completely different identities depending on your team.

Why Venusaur Deserves a Spot in Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Grass/Poison is one of the best defensive typings in the game. Venusaur resists Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Fairy — five of the most common attacking types in the campaign — and is only weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic. In Infinite Fusion’s Kanto and Johto campaign, that resistance profile covers an enormous share of dangerous matchups: Misty’s Water types, the endless Ground types on the late routes, the Fighting-heavy dojos, and the Fairy types that plague the late game all run into a Venusaur wall.

What separates Venusaur from other Grass walls is the offense. 100 base Special Attack with STAB Sludge Bomb and Giga Drain is real damage, not the passive chip of a pure wall. And the status game is unmatched: Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Poison Powder, Leech Seed, and Toxic are all available, which means Venusaur can cripple an entire team one switch-in at a time. A sleeping, seeded, poisoned opponent is an opponent you have already beaten — Venusaur just collects the win slowly.

Then there is the sun build. With Chlorophyll and Growth (which boosts Attack and Special Attack by two stages each in sunlight), Venusaur becomes a sweeper that outspeeds Choice Scarf users and hits with Life Orb-boosted nukes. It is the most versatile starter in the game: wall, status spreader, sun sweeper, and elite fusion material all in one. Very few Pokémon give you this much value for one team slot.

How to Get Bulbasaur in Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Venusaur is the final evolution of the Bulbasaur line, and Bulbasaur is one of the easiest strong Pokémon to obtain in the entire game. You have several routes:

Starter from Professor Oak

Bulbasaur is one of the three Kanto starters you can pick in Pallet Town at the start of the game (via Professor Oak and your sister, depending on your choices). Picking Bulbasaur is the fastest route to Venusaur — you get it at level 5 and it grows with you from the first gym onward, where it immediately dominates Brock’s Rock types and Misty’s Water types. If you picked a different starter, the other methods below work at any point.

Viridian River static encounter

A static Bulbasaur encounter is available in the Viridian River area, and it respawns indefinitely — so you can catch extras for fusion material or nature hunting without worrying about a one-time miss. This is the best method if you want a second Bulbasaur specifically for splicing while your starter keeps its slot on the team. Serious fusion players should grab at least two: one for the team, one for the lab.

Cerulean City trade

An in-game trade for Bulbasaur is available in Cerulean City. Traded Pokémon gain boosted experience, which makes this a fast way to level one up — handy if you’re grabbing a late-game Bulbasaur and need it battle-ready quickly. For more on leveling efficiently, check our Shiny Hunting Guide (which covers encounter-chaining techniques that also work for farming starters).

Postgame: Pallet Town player house

In the postgame, additional Bulbasaur encounters open up around the Pallet Town player house area. By this point you probably have your Venusaur already, but these extras are perfect for building fusion projects, hunting the right nature, or assembling a shiny attempt.

Venusaur Evolution: Bulbasaur to Ivysaur to Venusaur

The Bulbasaur line evolves by level, exactly like the official games:

• Bulbasaur → Ivysaur at level 16
• Ivysaur → Venusaur at level 36

No stones, no trades, no friendship — just levels. If you picked Bulbasaur as your starter, you’ll typically hit Ivysaur around the second or third gym and Venusaur in the mid-game, right when the difficulty starts demanding real defensive answers. One timing note: Ivysaur learns some moves slightly earlier than Venusaur, so if there’s a specific level-up move you want, check the learnsets in the Infinite Fusion Dex before evolving at 36. In practice, evolving immediately is correct for most players — Venusaur’s stats and movepool are upgrades across the board.

Venusaur is also the final stage that matters for the fan-favorite triple fusion: Venusaur + Charizard + Blastoise combines into Venustoizard, the Kanto starters’ ultimate form. Keep that in mind before you splice your only Venusaur away — more on that below.

Best Natures, EVs, and Movesets for Venusaur

Venusaur has two clear builds: the Chlorophyll sun sweeper and the defensive status tank. Both are excellent; pick based on your team’s needs and whether you have a sun setter.

Chlorophyll sun sweeper (the scary one)

Ability: Chlorophyll. Nature: Modest (+Sp. Attack, −Attack) or Timid (+Speed, −Attack). EVs: 252 Sp. Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP (Timid) or 4 Defense / 252 Sp. Attack / 252 Speed (Modest). Moves: Growth (double boost in sun), Sludge Bomb (STAB nuke), Giga Drain (STAB + recovery), and Earth Power or a sun-boosted coverage move for Fire and Steel types. Item: Life Orb or a Z-move slot.

This is the set that wins games. Under sunlight, Chlorophyll doubles Venusaur’s Speed to an effective 160, which outspeeds almost everything that isn’t a Choice Scarf user. One Growth gives you +2 Special Attack, and then Sludge Bomb and Giga Drain start one- and two-shotting neutral targets. You need a sun setter on the team — Ninetales, Torkoal, or a Prankster Sunny Day user all work — but the payoff is one of the strongest setup sweepers in the game. Preview the damage numbers with the Fusion Calculator before you commit EVs.

Defensive status tank (the annoying one)

Ability: Overgrow. Nature: Bold (+Defense, −Attack) or Calm (+Sp. Defense, −Attack). EVs: 252 HP / 252 Defense / 4 Sp. Defense (Bold) or 252 HP / 252 Sp. Defense / 4 Defense (Calm). Moves: Giga Drain (STAB + recovery), Sludge Bomb (STAB + 30% poison chance), Sleep Powder or Stun Spore (cripples sweepers), and Synthesis, Leech Seed, or Toxic (long-game pressure). Item: Leftovers or Black Sludge.

This set is a nightmare to play against and a joy to pilot. Sleep Powder puts the scariest opposing sweeper to sleep, Leech Seed plus Giga Drain plus Leftovers keeps Venusaur healthy forever, and Sludge Bomb’s poison chance wears down anything that tries to stall you out. It switches into Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Fairy attacks all day and keeps coming back with Synthesis. If you’re building a full defensive core around it, plan the team in the Team Builder.

Item note: Black Sludge is the Poison-type version of Leftovers and also damages opponents who Trick it onto a non-Poison Pokémon — a small bonus that Venusaur can use and most Grass types cannot.

Best Venusaur Fusions in Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Venusaur is elite fusion material in both slots, which is rare. As a body, it donates Grass/Poison typing, 83/100 defenses with 100 Special Attack, and Chlorophyll or Overgrow to whatever head you attach. As a head, it donates one of the best special movepools in the game — Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Sleep Powder, Growth, and Earth Power — to a partner’s stat spread. Preview everything with the Fusion Tool and confirm the numbers on the Fusion Calculator — DNA Splicers are easy to reverse, so test freely.

Venusaur + Blastoise: Venustoise (the classic)

The most famous Venusaur fusion ever. Venustoise — Venusaur fused with Blastoise — is a direct nod to the anime episode “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak,” and the game itself references it: a trainer on Victory Road uses a Venusaur/Blastoise fusion and brags about combining both starters into one super-Pokémon. Mechanically it’s just as good as it is iconic. The Grass/Water typing stacks incredible resistances, and the fusion combines Venusaur’s status game and Chlorophyll with Blastoise’s 100/105 defenses and elite Water coverage. It works in either order — Venusaur head on Blastoise body for the better special movepool, or Blastoise head on Venusaur body for Venusaur’s ability and Poison STAB. See our Blastoise Guide for the partner half of this classic.

Venusaur + Charizard: the sun terror

Fusing Venusaur with Charizard is what sun teams are made for. Charizard brings Fire STAB, Solar Power potential, and Flying coverage that deletes the Bug types threatening Venusaur — while Venusaur brings Grass/Poison STAB, Sleep Powder, and Chlorophyll speed. Either slot works: Charizard’s head gives the fusion Fire Blast and Air Slash on Venusaur’s bulk, while Venusaur’s head gives a fast Charizard body the full status toolkit. This pair is also one third of the Venustoizard triple fusion (Venusaur + Charizard + Blastoise) — our Triple Fusions guide covers how to unlock and build it.

Venusaur + Ninetales: permanent sun core

If you want to run the Chlorophyll sweeper set without a separate sun setter, fuse the setter directly onto Venusaur. Ninetales’ head on Venusaur’s body (or vice versa) gives you Drought — permanent sunlight on switch-in — which means Chlorophyll is always active and Solar Beam fires in one turn. It is the most self-sufficient way to play the sun build, and it frees up a team slot for something else. Fire/Grass/Poison coverage hits almost everything neutrally.

Venusaur + Snorlax: the unkillable wall

Venusaur’s head on Snorlax’s body is one of the hardest things in the game to actually knock out. Snorlax’s monstrous HP combines with Venusaur’s status movepool — Sleep Powder, Toxic, Leech Seed — and Giga Drain recovery, producing a fusion that outlasts nearly everything. It is slow, but when you are poisoning and seeding everything in front of you while healing off damage, speed is optional. A legitimate answer to the hardest boss teams in the late game.

Venusaur + Gengar: special attack menace

Gengar’s head on Venusaur’s body patches Gengar’s one real flaw — frailty — while keeping the terrifying special offense. Ghost/Poison STAB with Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball, Sleep Powder utility from Venusaur’s movepool, and Levitate or Chlorophyll depending on the order. It hits from both the Ghost and Grass angles, which very few teams are prepared to wall. See our Gengar Guide for the head half, and our Best Fusion Combinations guide for more top-tier pairings.

Fun self-fusions and sprite hunts

Fusing Venusaur with itself produces a Venusaur/Venusaur fusion with a unique sprite — and yes, the game’s sprite data includes a beta Mega Venusaur reference for it. Self-fusions are rarely competitive, but Venusaur’s self-fusion sprite is a fun trophy for completionists. If you’re hunting cool sprites rather than power, our Shiny Hunting Guide covers how to farm repeat encounters efficiently.

The general rule: if a fusion needs Grass or Poison STAB, bulk, status moves, or a sun sweeper profile, Venusaur is on the shortlist. It is the “Swiss army knife” fusion material — the result is almost never bad.

Mega Venusaur in Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Mega Venusaur — triggered with the Venusaurite — is one of the tankiest megas in the game. Its Special Attack climbs to 122, its defenses jump to 123 Defense and 120 Special Defense, and its ability becomes Thick Fat, which halves damage from Fire and Ice moves. That single ability change is enormous: Fire and Ice are two of Venusaur’s four weaknesses, and Thick Fat effectively erases them, leaving only Flying and Psychic as real threats.

The stat line tells the story: 80 HP / 100 Attack / 123 Defense / 122 Sp. Attack / 120 Sp. Defense / 80 Speed, for a 625 total. Mega Venusaur plays as an unbreakable special tank — switch into anything it resists, mega evolve, and start firing 122-base Sludge Bombs and Giga Drains that nothing wants to take. The classic set is Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Synthesis or Leech Seed, and Earthquake or Sleep Powder, with a Modest or Bold nature.

Like all mega stones, the Venusaurite is a late-game/post-game acquisition, so treat it as an upgrade to an already-great Pokémon rather than the plan from the start. One note: Mega Venusaur cannot hold a different item while mega evolving, so the Black Sludge trick from the defensive set goes away — plan your item around that. If you want to fund the mega stone hunt, our Money Farming Guide methods will keep your wallet full.

Venusaur vs Other Grass Types

How does Venusaur stack up against the competition? Honestly, it is the best all-rounder Grass type in the game. Exeggutor hits harder on the special side but is slower and frailer. Tangrowth is physically bulkier but has no special presence and no status game to speak of. Sceptile is much faster but far less bulky, and it cannot take a hit the way Venusaur can. Roserade has the speed and Spikes utility but lacks Venusaur’s defenses.

What Venusaur uniquely offers is the complete package: wall-level bulk, sweeper-level Special Attack, the best status movepool of any Grass type, a sun set that redefines its role, and fusion value in both slots. If you can only train one Grass type for the whole campaign, Venusaur is the correct answer. For teams that want a faster Grass attacker alongside it, our Eevee Guide covers Leafeon as a physical alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level does Bulbasaur evolve in Pokémon Infinite Fusion?

Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur at level 16, and Ivysaur evolves into Venusaur at level 36 — same as the official games. No items or trades required.

Where can I catch Bulbasaur in Pokémon Infinite Fusion?

Pick it as your starter in Pallet Town, catch the respawning static encounter in Viridian River, take the in-game trade in Cerulean City, or find postgame encounters around the Pallet Town player house. The Viridian River static is best for farming extra Bulbasaurs as fusion material.

What are the best Venusaur fusions?

The classics are Venusaur + Blastoise (Venustoise), Venusaur + Charizard (sun terror), Venusaur + Ninetales (self-sufficient sun core), Venusaur + Snorlax (unkillable wall), and Venusaur + Gengar (special attack menace). For the ultimate project, the triple fusion Venustoizard combines Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.

What is the best nature for Venusaur?

Modest (+Sp. Attack, −Attack) or Timid (+Speed, −Attack) for the Chlorophyll sun sweeper set; Bold (+Defense, −Attack) or Calm (+Sp. Defense, −Attack) for the defensive status tank set. Never run an Attack-boosting nature — Venusaur’s physical movepool is nearly nonexistent.

What is Mega Venusaur’s ability in Pokémon Infinite Fusion?

Thick Fat, which halves Fire and Ice damage. Combined with 123 Defense and 120 Special Defense, it effectively removes two of Venusaur’s four weaknesses and makes Mega Venusaur one of the hardest special tanks in the game.

Is Venusaur good as fusion material?

One of the best in the game. As a body, it donates Grass/Poison typing, 83/100 defenses with 100 Special Attack, and Overgrow or Chlorophyll. As a head, it donates an elite special movepool: Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Sleep Powder, Growth, and Earth Power. Few Pokémon are this good in both slots.

Venusaur or Charizard — which Kanto starter is best?

Venusaur is the safest and most versatile pick: the easiest early game (Brock and Misty both fall to Grass moves), the best defensive profile, the strongest status game, and the best fusion material of the three. Charizard hits harder as a pure sweeper; Blastoise is the better pure wall. Venusaur is the one that does everything.

Can Venusaur learn Spore?

No — Spore is exclusive to the Paras line, Amoonguss, and a few others. Venusaur’s 100%-accurate sleep move does not exist, so use Sleep Powder (75% accuracy) instead. It is still one of the best sleep moves available to any Grass type, and combined with Leech Seed it wins games on its own.

Conclusion

Venusaur in Pokémon Infinite Fusion is the complete package: a bulky wall with sweeper-level offense, the best status movepool of any starter, a Chlorophyll sun set that outspeeds nearly everything, elite fusion value in both the head and body slots, and one of the tankiest Mega Evolutions in the game. It is easy to obtain, evolves on a simple level schedule, and stays relevant from the first gym to the postgame.

Grab your Bulbasaur in Pallet Town or Viridian River, evolve it to Venusaur by level 36, and start splicing: test heads and bodies in the Fusion Tool, verify the stats with the Fusion Calculator, and fit the result into your roster with the Team Builder. Whether you build the Venustoise classic, a Chlorophyll sun terror, or an unkillable Snorlax wall, Venusaur rewards the effort more than almost any other Pokémon in the game. Happy fusing.
