Strategy Overview

Venusaur is an excellent choice for sun teams, as it packs a good Speed tier, offensive stats, and most importantly, bulk. It also has useful moves such as Growth and Sleep Powder to break teams by boosting up or putting a check out of commission. Venusaur is exclusively a choice for sun teams, as it is outclassed by Roserade and Shaymin otherwise. Moreover, Venusaur gets completely walled by offensive Dragon-types such as Dragalge and Goodra. These threats get a free switch into Venusaur and can threaten its team. Despite its doubled Speed in sun, Venusaur can still be offensively checked by threats such as Choice Scarf Trace Gardevoir and priority from Golisopod and Zygarde-10% if it is chipped enough by entry hazards and Life Orb recoil.
