Strategy Overview
Vileplume is a very solid but unspectacular Pokemon in NU. Its Grass / Poison typing isn't ideal for a defensive Pokemon in a metagame where many of the most dangerous attackers are Fire- and Psychic-types, and Vileplume's extremely shallow attacking movepool and low Speed prevent it from being a significant offensive threat. However, while it can't carry a team on its own, Vileplume is still a very effective and common Pokemon thanks to its nice support movepool, balanced combination of bulk and power, and great synergy with other common defensive Pokemon such as Slowking and Regirock. It's not the type of Pokemon that you need to worry about countering when you're building a team, but it will consistently pull its weight when included in a well-built core.
