Ivysaur (Fushigisou (フシギソウ Fushigisou) in the original Japanese, Bisaknosp in German, Herbizarre in French, Isanghaepeul in Korean) is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise.
In this evolved form of Bulbasaur, the bud that Bulbasaur carries on its back has grown into a full ivy blossom; it will grow larger in sunlight. As the blossom grows, Ivysaur loses the ability to stand on its hind legs. The blossom produces a pleasant smell when it is ready to bloom, and Ivysaur is ready to evolve into Venusaur.
Name origin
"Ivysaur" is probably a combination of the English "ivy" and the Greek sauros, meaning lizard (as in "dinosaur").
Its Japanese name, Fushigisou, is probably a combination of the Japanese words 不思議 (ふしぎ, fushigi, "mystery") and 草 (くさ, kusa, "grass"). The kanji for "grass" can also be read そう (sō). (see Kanji - Readings)
Availability
In all of the Pokémon games, the only way to get an Ivysaur is by evolving a Bulbasaur. Therefore, the availability of Bulbasaur dictates the availability of Ivysaur.
Anime Appearances
There has been one major appearance of Ivysaur in the anime. In the episode "The Secret Garden", Ash Ketchum and company stumbled upon an evolutionary ground for Bulbasaur that was protected by a Venusaur. They witnessed hundreds of Bulbasaur evolve into Ivysaur.

Venusaur (フシギバナ Fushigibana in Japanese) is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. Venusaur carries a flower on its back; the blossom is used to collect energy from sunlight, giving off a pleasant fragrance in the process. Due to this, a Venusaur is usually moving around in an effort to follow the sun; furthermore, it is more powerful in summer when it is able to absorb more sunlight.
Name origin
Venusaur's name is likely a combination of "Venus," in reference to the Venus flytrap, and the Greek sauros, meaning lizard (as in the word "dinosaur"). Its Japanese name, フシギバナ (Fushigibana), is probably a combination of the words ふしぎ (fushigi, mystery) and はな (hana, flower).
Availability
The only way to get a Venusaur in any of the Pokémon games is to evolve an Ivysaur, and the only way to obtain an Ivysaur is to evolve a Bulbasaur. Therefore, the availability of Bulbasaur dictates the availability of Venusaur.
Anime Appearances
In the first season of the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum and company come across a secret garden where Bulbasaur evolve into Ivysaur. A Venusaur protects this garden against everything except evolving Bulbasaur and Ivysaur. In the Advanced Challenge season, there is an episode titled "King of the Forbidden Forest! Venusaur!" which involves a Venusaur guarding a forest of Grass Pokémon.
