Q&A

Fire (×2), Ice (×2), Flying (×2), Psychic (×2). Resists Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting. Calculated from the gen 3 type chart (FireRed/LeafGreen).

Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur starting at level 16. Ivysaur evolves into Venusaur starting at level 32.

Not in the wild. Ivysaur cannot be caught in the wild in FireRed/LeafGreen. You only get it through evolution: Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur starting at level 16.

Our take: Yes. Ivysaur keeps Bulbasaur's strengths (bulk, status powder, Grass/Poison coverage) and carries you safely through the midgame.
