Bayleef (ベイリーフ Beirifu in Japanese, Lorblatt in German and Macronium in French) is a fictional character of the Pokémon franchise.

"Bayleef" is a deliberate misspelling of "bay leaf".

Biology

Beyleef looks like a cartoony dinosaur. It has a pale yellow body supported by four legs and a rather long neck and tail. On top of its head is a single large leaf and around its neck are seven oval-shaped, striped leaves.

Bayleef's most defining trait is the "necklace" of seven tubular leaves that is located around its neck. Each of these curled up leaves contains inside it a tree shoot. From these leaves wafts a spicy scent that has stimulating properties to those who smell it. It can cheer people up, restore their health, make them more energetic and even heighten their drive for competition.

In the video games

In almost all of the Pokémon games, the only way to get a Bayleef is by evolving a Chikorita. Therefore, the availability of Chikorita generally dictates the availability of Bayleef. In Pokémon Colosseum, a Bayleef is a Shadow Pokémon that can be Snagged in Team Snagem's hideout or at the beginning of the game.

Bayleef has pretty good stats, excelling in defences. Its attack and special attack are almost equal, so it can use physical and special moves almost just as efficiently. Its evolved form Meganium is usually preferred in battle.

In the animé

Bayleef is one of the Pokémon that Ash has used in his team. It evolved from Chikorita in episode #201 (Current events). Like its pre-evolved form, Bayleef feels a strong bond of affection towards its trainer, which it usually expresses by trying to climb all over him, a matter complicated by the dramatic increase in mass. Currently Ash has left Bayleef in the care of Professor Oak along with other Pokémon that he doesn't currently use.
