Strategy Overview
Victreebel is a decent, if unreliable, setup wallbreaker. Thanks to its access to Sleep Powder and a powerful Grass-type STAB attack, it is capable of scaring out many prominent Pokemon, including common Stealth Rock setters like Rhydon and Sandslash, and setting up with Swords Dance. It even has Sucker Punch in order to pick off frail or weakened Pokemon that could otherwise outspeed and KO it, like Mega Alakazam and Starmie. Victreebel's main flaw is its lack of coverage, which leaves it walled and destroyed by the omnipresent Melmetal. Outside of its offenses, Victreebel's stats are extremely lacking, meaning most fast Pokemon can KO it easily if they survive a Sucker Punch, and most bulky Pokemon can do the same if they survive Power Whip.
