Victreebel (Japanese: ウツボット Utsubot) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Weepinbell when exposed to a Leaf Stone. It is the final form of Bellsprout.
Biology
Victreebel is a plant Pokémon with a bell-shaped body. It has a gaping mouth with pink lips and two sharp teeth. Its semicircular eyes appear directly under its mouth and it has several dark green spots on its body. On either side of its body is a large green leaf. Covering Victreebel's mouth is a leaf with a long, brown, yellow-tipped vine growing out of it. The vine is flicked to mimic an animal in order to attract prey. Victreebel also produces a sweet scent to further aid in luring its victims. Acid that has dissolved numerous prey animals becomes sweeter and even more effective at attracting prey.
It can be found in small groups and is territorial. In the manga, Victreebel hoards food, usually small birds and rodents, and collects Leaf Stones to perform evolution processes at night to help Weepinbell become more Victreebel. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Victreebel is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in temperate forests and jungles.

Major appearances
James's Victreebel
James had two separate Victreebel (traded for each other in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid), both of which evolved from Weepinbell while in his possession. His second Victreebel was expelled from the group by Jessie after it attacked her. It landed near James's first Victreebel, both Pokémon fell instantly in love, and they hopped off together into the forest.

Origin
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
On the Origin of Species: Victreebel
Victreebel may be based on carnivorous pitcher plants.
Name origin
Victreebel seems to be a combination of victory (corrupted to make a pun on tree) and bell (referring to its bell-like shape). The maximum number of characters possible to make up a Pokémon's name in Generation I was ten, and this is likely the reason for the misspelling of bell as bel.
Utsubot is derived from 靫葛 utsubokazura (pitcher plant). It may also be based on 壷 tsubo (jar) or ポット pot (relative to bot), referring to its shape. It could also draw from botanical.
