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. Venusaur cannot be caught in the wild in FireRed/LeafGreen — you only get it through evolution: Ivysaur evolves into Venusaur starting at level 32.

Our take: Yes. Venusaur is a defensive anchor: high special stats, Leech Seed plus Sleep Powder and few dangerous matchups in Kanto. One of the safest Nuzlocke final stages around.
