Biology

Groups of Victreebel wait in temperate forests for unsuspecting prey to walk into their mouths, mistaking their acid for nectar. The more prey it has consumed, the sweeter its acid smells.

Forms

Mega Victreebel

Mega Victreebel has so much acid within its body that it uses its vine to constrict its throat and stop the acid from overflowing from its mouth.
