Plan this partner in PokéBonk

This analysis describes the Bulbasaur League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.

Synthesis combines regeneration, stronger healing and recovery from eligible Grass hits. Sleep Powder adds control, while the evolved Ultimate supplies another heal: an unusually forgiving package from the opening run onward.

Trade-off: Healing shares a leech budget; it cannot make standing inside a horde safe.

Passive: Synthesis

Ultimate progression: Furious Roots / Frenzy Plant / Giga Flower Whip

Curated kit: Vine Whip (Lv. 1) · Razor Leaf (Lv. 2) · Sleep Powder (Lv. 4) · Solar Beam (Lv. 7)

Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.

Bulbasaur in PokéBonk

Healer · v0.8.18 · Checked 2026-10-22

Use recovery alongside movement, rather than relying on healing to absorb every hit. Razor Leaf and Solar Beam are the two moves to keep if you are planning Flower Beam.

Passive: Synthesis
Adds 1.5 regeneration and 25% healing. Grass hits can restore 0.4% HP per hit, up to five times per second; healing modifiers and the shared healing budget still apply.
How to unlock: Choose this partner at the start, or complete two runs (win or lose), then encounter and capture it in a later run. Completing the challenge alone does not add it to your League.

Your run kit

The opening move is equipped at the start. Later moves can appear in level-up choices from the listed player level; they are not automatically learned. Your full offer pool can also include other compatible moves.

Bulbasaur’s PokéBonk kit and eligibility levels
Move	Type	Available
Vine Whip	grass	Equipped at run start
Razor Leaf	grass	Can be offered from Lv. 2
Sleep Powder	grass	Can be offered from Lv. 4
Solar Beam	grass	Can be offered from Lv. 7

New runs have three move slots by default. The Lab’s fourth-move upgrade raises capacity to four. Lab upgrades and costs

Ultimate forms

Bulbasaur — Furious Roots: Roots strike outward and can root enemies they hit.
Ivysaur — Frenzy Plant: Eight roots add a 20% heal and nearby sleep effects.
Venusaur — Giga Flower Whip: Ten roots accompany a large flower and three waves of petals.

Use the Ultimate when its charge is full (default desktop key: R). It charges over time and through combat; Lab and item bonuses can accelerate it. The unmodified passive charge rate is 1/95 per second while inactive, rather than a fixed 95-second cooldown.

Evolution in a run

IvysaurLv. 24
VenusaurLv. 41

These are thresholds traced in the current client, not mainline evolution levels or playtested results. Evolution also checks the target sprite and level-up processing; delayed evolution can shift later timing. These three lines do not require a stone or trade in the traced run logic.
