Strategy Overview

Cherubi is only ever used on sun teams to support the team's main Chlorophyll sweeper, which is usually Bellsprout. Unfortunately, with Vulpix's ban sun has dropped dramatically in viability to the point where even this tiny niche isn't enough to make it viable. That's not even mentioning the other Chlorophyll sweepers such as Bulbasaur and Oddish, which outclass Cherubi even on sun, and Snivy, which is the better option everywhere else, meaning Cherubi should not be used on any serious team.
