From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Meganium (Japanese: メガニウム Meganium) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Bayleef starting at level 32. It is the final form of Chikorita.

Biology

Meganium is a quadrupedal, pale-green reptilian Pokémon that resembles a sauropod dinosaur. It has a long neck; yellow eyes; a short, blunt snout; and two stamen-like antennae on top of its snout. The antennae are shorter on a female than on a male. Encircling Meganium's neck are large, pink flower petals with a yellow central pattern and white edges. It has three claws on each foot and a stubby tail.

Meganium's petals release an aroma that calms aggressive feelings and its breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants. Its soothing, regenerative powers can even affect those who stand nearby. Meganium tends to be very docile and has been portrayed as a peacemaker in the anime. It can rarely be found living in grasslands. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, many Pokémon tend to sleep peacefully side-by-side with Meganium.[1] The reason is fragrance given off by Meganium's flower sooths and calms emotions of any Pokémon fighting near it.

A special Meganium is worshiped in Lental for being one of the seven guardian Illumina Pokémon. It resides in the Florio Island Illumina Spot.

Trivia

  • Meganium's evolutionary line are the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to keep their Japanese voices in the English dub of the anime. This is due to them having nearly identical names in English and Japanese (with Meganium even being spelled identically to its official Japanese romanization).

Origin

Meganium has the appearance of a sauropod, particularly an Apatosaurus. Its flower seems to be based on a type of hybrid daylily with ruffled edges and its long neck makes it similar to the titan arum. It may also draw inspiration from geraniums, as suggested by its name. Meganium's design may have also been influenced by Aachenosaurus, an ancient plant whose fossils were once believed to belong to a dinosaur.

Name origin

Meganium may be a combination of mega and geranium.
