Vileplume

Utilizing great defensive stats and valued resistances to types such as Water, Fighting, and Electric, Vileplume blossoms in PU as a sturdy tank and an excellent cleric that walls common threats like Shiftry and Zebstrika. The combination of Aromatherapy, Effect Spore, and being a grounded Poison to soak up Toxic Spikes gives Vileplume the ability to support a large variety of teams and fortify them in longer matches. Vileplume's offensive prowess is also reasonably good in comparison to other clerics like Audino thanks to the power and poison chance of Sludge Bomb, making it a cleric that is not inherently passive. However, Vileplume's weaknesses to common types such as Fire, Psychic, and Flying from threats like Monferno, Beheeyem, and Dodrio, respectively, means that it may face too much pressure to utilize its toolkit to the fullest.
