Article status: Unfinished
Core PokeMMO data has been verified against a client-generated resource snapshot. Ambiguous export fields, the missing client build number, and strategy recommendations remain unresolved.
Last verified: 2026-09-15
Verification scope: PokeMMO types, dimensions, growth type, catch-rate value, obtainable and form flags, evolution, named abilities, base stats, EV yield, tier, held-item entries, location conditions, level-up moves, egg moves, tutor moves, and egg groups from client resource record ID 1.

Values in this box should come from a dated PokeMMO client export or current in-client observation and must be cited.

Bulbasaur is listed as an obtainable Grass- and Poison-type Pokémon in the 2026-09-15 PokeMMO client resource snapshot.[1]

PokeMMO data

Only statements in this section that cite current PokeMMO evidence should be treated as PokeMMO-specific. Generic game data is not assumed to match PokeMMO.

The snapshot lists Bulbasaur with the Medium Slow experience-growth type, raw catch-rate value 45, one released non-costume form, and the tier “Untiered.” It lists no held-item entries.[1] A raw catch-rate value is not presented here as a capture percentage.

Locations and availability

The snapshot lists one wild location: Viridian Forest, Kanto, in grass, at level 10. The season is “Any,” and the morning, day, and night rarity fields each say “Lure.” It does not list a three- or five-Pokémon horde for this encounter.[1]

The numeric rarity_flags value is not interpreted as an encounter probability.

Evolution

The snapshot records Bulbasaur evolving into Ivysaur by level, with value 16.[1]

Abilities and base stats

The ability names present in the snapshot are Overgrow and Chlorophyll. Overgrow appears twice in the ordered ability array; the export does not label the entries as regular, secondary, or hidden, so this page does not assign those roles.[1]

Defeating a Bulbasaur yields 1 Special Attack EV according to the snapshot. Its listed experience yield is 64.[1]

Move availability

The following level-up entries are reproduced from the client export. Duplicate entries are retained rather than silently normalized.[1]

Egg moves listed: Ingrain, GrassWhistle, and Sludge.

Tutor moves listed: Bind, Worry Seed, Defense Curl, Frenzy Plant, Grass Pledge, Block, Snore, Synthesis, and String Shot.[1]

The export also contains 65 move entries labeled TM??. They are not published as a TM list because that acquisition label is unresolved.

Breeding

The snapshot lists the Monster and Plant egg groups and the egg moves shown above.[1] The numeric gender_ratio value is not converted into a percentage until its encoding is documented. General PokeMMO breeding costs and inheritance rules belong in the Breeding guide and were not verified by this species record.

Builds and uses

No strategy recommendation is made from raw data alone. Story, PvE, PvP, catching, farming, and utility builds require separate current gameplay evidence.

Generic Pokémon-series reference

This section is reference material from the wider Pokémon series. It must not be used to fill a PokeMMO field without separate PokeMMO evidence.

For comparison only, PokéAPI's wider-series dataset also records Bulbasaur as Grass/Poison with base stats 45/49/49/65/65/45, Overgrow and Chlorophyll, Monster and Plant egg groups, and the Bulbasaur → Ivysaur level-16 evolution.[2][3][4]

PokéAPI calls Bulbasaur the “Seed Pokémon”; that label was not present in the inspected PokeMMO record and is therefore not placed in the PokeMMO infobox.[3]

Known differences and cautions

No numerical conflict was found between the inspected PokeMMO record and the cited generic data for types, dimensions, base stats, named abilities, egg groups, or the first evolution level. This comparison does not establish that every wider-series mechanic matches PokeMMO.

Unknowns and verification queue

  • Exact PokeMMO client build corresponding to the snapshot
  • Meaning of the encoded gender_ratio value
  • Ability-slot roles in the exported array
  • Correct acquisition classification for 65 TM?? move entries
  • Numeric meaning of rarity_flags and an encounter probability
  • Evidence-supported PokeMMO builds and strategic recommendations
  • Whether a future non-free-content policy will permit the inspected 96×96 battle sprite
