About the Pokémon
Venusaur is the Seed Pokémon, recorded as No. 003 in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation I, associated with the Kanto generation of games. Its flowering plant absorbs solar energy as it seeks sunlight. It evolves from Ivysaur.
About the Expansion
Base Set launched the English-language Pokémon Trading Card Game in January 1999, adapting Japan's original Expansion Pack. Its 102-card checklist combines Kanto Pokémon with the Trainer and Energy cards that established the early game. Unlimited printing belongs to this original expansion, rather than the later Base Set 2 release.
