How to unlock Bulbasaur in PokeBonk
Bulbasaur is one of the three PokeBonk starters (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle), so it is in your League from the first run and needs no challenge. The PokeBonk starters guide compares the three.
Bulbasaur moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vine Whip | Grass | Physical | Strike | Start | 20 | 0.81 s |
| 2 | Razor Leaf | Grass | Physical | Burst | Level 2 | 6 | 1 s |
| 3 | Sleep Powder | Grass | Special | Cone | Level 4 | 4 | 1.8 s |
| 4 | Solar Beam | Grass | Special | Bolt | Level 7 | 11 | 2.2 s |
Bulbasaur passive: Synthesis
+1.5 regen and +25% healing. Your Grass attacks heal you a little (0.4% of HP per hit, up to 5 times per second).
Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, and Solar Beam match Bulbasaur's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Bulbasaur Ultimate in PokeBonk
Bulbasaur's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulbasaur | Furious Roots | 1.6 s | Six thorny roots burst from the ground in a star shape and root everything they cross. |
| Ivysaur | Frenzy Plant | 2 s | Eight roots and a ray of sunlight that heals you for 20% while the spores put nearby enemies to sleep. |
| Venusaur | Giga Flower Whip | 2.6 s | Ten roots, the sun and a giant flower that opens around you in three waves of petals. |
Bulbasaur evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Bulbasaur line evolves like this: Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur at level 24 and Ivysaur evolves into Venusaur at level 41.
Bulbasaur stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bulbasaur | 0 | 108 | 9.2 | 1.02x | 1x | 1.07x | 1x |
| Ivysaur | 1 | 123 | 9.2 | 1.03x | 1x | 1.06x | 1.12x |
| Venusaur | 2 | 138 | 9.1 | 1.03x | 1.01x | 1.05x | 1.24x |
