Strategy Overview
Carnivine is severely outclassed by other Grass-types such as Leafeon, Tangela, and Roselia due to its slow base Speed, mediocre defenses, and shallow support movepool. It lacks reliable recovery, can easily be worn down, and is easily revenge killed due to its poor Speed. Although it has Levitate, which gives it an immunity to Spikes and Toxic Spikes; Sleep Powder, which usually gives it a chance to set up; and a good Attack stat coupled with a 120 Base Power STAB move and Knock Off, Carnivine still remains hopelessly outdone by its fellow Grass-types and will rarely, if ever, perform better than them.
