Venusaur evolution

Pokémon GO has no evolution levels: a Pokémon evolves when you spend Candy on it (sometimes with an item or a task), at any level.

Venusaur evolves from Ivysaur for 100 Bulbasaur Candy.

Venusaur is the last stage of its family: it does not evolve further.

Family: Bulbasaur · Ivysaur · Venusaur
