The bud on Ivysaur's back grows as it draws in sunlight and absorbs nutrients. The bud apparently draws energy from its body. As the bud grows larger, Ivysaur appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs. To support its weight, Ivysaur's legs and trunk grow thick and strong. If it starts spending more time lying in the sunlight, it's a sign that the bud will bloom into a large flower soon. When the bud starts swelling, a sweet aroma wafts to indicate the flower is ready to bloom.
