Ivysaur - number 76
Ivysaur amiibo – Super Smash Bros. Series
The name does not significantly differ across regions. It is released as Ivysaur in Europe and North America. In Japan it is known under its original name Fushigisou. The figure was released in September 2019. Like most figures in the Super Smash Bros. line it supports read and write functionality. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate it becomes a Figure Player and saves progress and behavioral data directly onto the amiibo.
The design follows the in game model from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ivysaur stands low to the ground balanced on four sturdy legs. The body is turquoise green with darker patches. The bulb on its back is large and textured slightly opened showing layered pink petals. The head is angled forward mouth slightly open as if mid breath. Red eyes look straight ahead. The pose mirrors its idle battle stance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ready but not exaggerated. It reflects the Pokemon Trainer switch mechanic where Ivysaur appears between Squirtle and Charizard as the mid range fighter.
Ivysaur originates from Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green released on the Game Boy in 1996 in Japan. It evolves from Bulbasaur and later into Venusaur. Within the Pokemon series it represents a transitional stage of growth. In Super Smash Bros. it first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii as part of the Pokemon Trainer trio. Its role is technical. Mid weight balanced reach strong vertical attacks. That context shapes the amiibo stance and expression.
Compatibility centers primarily on Nintendo Switch. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate scanning the Ivysaur amiibo creates a trainable AI fighter. It levels up to 50 adapts to player behavior and can be customized with Spirits for additional attributes. Data is written directly to the figure. On Nintendo 3DS systems and Wii U the amiibo can be scanned in compatible titles for read only bonuses such as items or character related content though the dedicated fighter function is specific to Ultimate.
In other compatible Nintendo Switch titles the figure typically grants general amiibo rewards. In games such as Super Mario Odyssey or The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild it provides standard bonuses such as items or materials rather than exclusive Ivysaur themed content. The functionality follows the system general amiibo recognition rather than character specific integration.
The added value of the Ivysaur amiibo lies in controlled AI training and persistent character development in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It allows structured experimentation. Play patterns become visible over time. The figure stores that progress physically. Outside Smash its function remains consistent within Nintendo broader amiibo framework.
As an object it reflects a defined moment in Nintendo crossover history. The return of Pokemon Trainer in Ultimate. The individualization of each Pokemon through separate figures. Ivysaur stands in a steady posture. Functional recognizable and closely tied to its role in battle.
