Meganium (Japanese: メガニウム Meganium) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Bayleef starting at level 32. It is the final form of Chikorita.
Biology
Meganium is a quadrupedal, pale-green Pokémon that resembles a sauropod dinosaur. It has a long neck; yellow eyes; a short, blunt snout; and two stamen-like antennae on top of its snout. The antennae are shorter on a female than on a male. Encircling Meganium's neck are large, pink flower petals with a yellow central pattern and white edges. It has three claws on each foot and a stubby tail.
Meganium's petals release an aroma that calms aggressive feelings and its breath has the power to heal dead grass and plants. Its soothing, regenerative powers can even affect those who stand nearby. Meganium tends to be very docile and has been portrayed as a peacemaker in the anime. It can rarely be found living in grasslands.

Trivia
- Meganium shares the same base stat values with Venusaur, but its base Defense and Special Attack stats are flipped.
Origin
Meganium has the appearance of a sauropod, particularly an Apatosaurus. Its flower seems to be based on a type of hybrid daylily with ruffled edges and its long neck makes it similar to the creature arum. It may also draw inspiration from geraniums, as suggested by its name. Meganium's design may have also been influenced by Aachenosaurus, an ancient plant whose fossils were once believed to belong to a dinosaur.
Name origin
Meganium is a combination of mega and geranium.
