Strategy Overview

Venusaur has great overall stats, but is mostly inferior to Meganium due to its typing. Venusaur doesn't learn Sludge Bomb in GSC; if it did, it'd probably be a lot more popular. In addition, the move Razor Leaf also lost the incredible critical hit ratio that it had in RBY, making it less of a threat.
