#44 Ivysaur - Base Set 2 (base4)
Ivysaur is a Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Vine Whip, which costs Grass and two Colorless energies to deal 30 damage, and Poisonpowder, requiring three Grass energies to inflict 20 damage and poison the defending Pokémon. The card has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. Its flavor text describes how the Pokémon loses the ability to stand on its hind legs as its back bulb grows larger. The card was released in the Base Set 2 series in February 2000 and is classified as Uncommon rarity. Artist Ken Sugimori designed the card, which aligns with the theme of Ivysaur’s evolution from Bulbasaur. The card’s themecolor is a shade of green (#a2a94e), reflecting its Grass-type identity.
