Strategy Overview

Cherubi is adorable; it's a shame that it was cursed with horrible stats and a movepool which is only fit for one purpose. Chlorophyll is probably the only reason to use Cherubi; when the sun is active, Cherubi becomes one of the fastest Pokemon in the tier, and with its decent Special Attack, it can easily punch holes in the opponent's team. Outside of the sun, Cherubi isn't worth using. It's slow, frail, and doesn't have anything special to make up for these shortcomings. Things could be worse for Cherubi, however, it could have measly base 30 defenses like Bellsprout, or even poor stats all around like Seedot. Cherubi is a great Pokemon if you're playing for fun, but there are better choices for a competitive team.
