I paired Jiraiya with Venusaur due to their thematic and visual similarities. Jiraiya's summoning technique involves calling forth toads, which mirrors Venusaur’s design, inspired by an amphibian creature. Moreover, Jiraiya's connection to Mount Myōboku, a place filled with lush greenery, corresponds well with Venusaur’s Grass-type nature.

Venusaur, a fan-favorite and iconic Pokémon, has a sturdy and powerful presence that complements Jiraiya’s personality—strong, reliable, and a bit humorous. This combination of their traits makes the pairing feel like a perfect match, symbolizing both their strength and their deep connection to nature.
