Venomoth

Venomoth's access to one of the best boosting moves in the game, Quiver Dance, along with its access to Sleep Powder carves its role as a strong offensive sweeper in UU. Tinted Lens makes Venomoth even harder to deal with, rendering most resistances to its attacks useless and allowing it to forgo most coverage in exchange for more utility. A useful Bug / Poison typing grants Venomoth notable resistances to Fighting-, Fairy-, and Grass-type attacks, among others, and provides it with a useful immunity to Toxic and the ability to absorb Toxic Spikes. Venomoth's decent base 90 Speed allows it to outspeed and set up on several bulky offensive Pokemon as well as the entirety of the unboosted tier after a Quiver Dance, but it leaves it slower than most offensive threats and common Choice Scarf users even at +1. Additionally, Venomoth has an unfortunate weakness to Stealth Rock and poor physical bulk, leaving it rather vulnerable to physical attackers before it sets up and to most priority moves in the tier. Venomoth also struggles to get past some dedicated special walls such as Snorlax and Blissey, though its ability to break them depends on its move selection—for example, Substitute allows Venomoth to beat Porygon2, and Roost allows it to beat non-Thunder Wave variants of Blissey.
