In-Depth Analysis
Bulbasaur's 318 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Special Attack (65) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 45 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Grass, Poison combination gives Bulbasaur 5 resistances and 4 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Bulbasaur a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
