Bayleef (Japanese: ベイリーフ Bayleaf) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Chikorita starting at level 16 and evolves into Meganium starting at level 32.
Biology
Bayleef is a quadrupedal, pale-yellow Pokémon that resembles a sauropod dinosaur. It has a long neck, red eyes, a short, rounded snout, and a stubby tail. Each foot has a single, light gray nail. Sprouting from its forehead is a green leaf that curves back over its head and around its neck are a series of tightly curled leaves. Inside the leaves are small tree shoots. The aroma wafting from the leaves around its neck has a spicy scent and has various beneficial effects on those that inhale it. The fragrance has a combination of energizing, stimulating, and healing effects. Bayleef can be rarely found in grasslands.

Trivia
- Bayleef's "necklace" is consistently described as having a spicy aroma, while real bay leaves have a bitter and herbal taste, which is similar to thyme.
Origin
Bayleef is based on a group of dinosaurs called sauropods, specifically the Apatosaurus. Its vegetable part is based on the leaves of the bay laurel, whose oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in aromatherapy.
Name origin
Bayleef is a corruption of bay leaf, a herb.
