Strategy Overview

There are few things as scary in PU as Victreebel in sun. With access to powerful STAB moves like Solar Beam and Sludge Bomb, perfect coverage with Weather Ball, great Special Attack, and Speed that lets it outrun the entire tier in sun even with a neutral nature, Victreebel can violently carve its way through unprepared teams. However, walls such as Audino and Klang can weather the heat, and priority users such as Purugly can whittle Victreebel down even with Chlorophyll's Speed boost. Victreebel also demands sun to be up; otherwise, it finds itself quickly outclassed by the long list of capable Grass-types in PU.
