The franchise’s very first Grass-type starter’s final evolved form in Venasaur will be joining Charizard when it comes to Generation 1 creatures who have this new and powerful form. Venasaur gets a much larger flower petal on top of its head that covers its entire body with an even more formidable flower sitting on top ready to deliver its devastating power at a moment’s notice.

Blastoise is also joining its Generation 1 starter comrades in the Gigantamax class. Its new giant form transforms the two cannons on its shell into an assortment of cannons that turn Blastoise into a living battleship that is likely to be able to deliver some severe punishment in battles. 

There will no doubt be plenty of Trainers who will be looking to battle and catch these new versions of Venasaur and Blastoise to add powerful characters to their team for future adventures.
