Strategy Overview
While Oddish has decent stats going for it as well as a powerful utility move in Strength Sap, it is not viable due to the lack of a good ability, and it faces heavy competition in any role it wants to fulfill. It is fully outclassed by Foongus as a bulky Grass-type due to Regenerator and better bulk, as well as Morelull due to Effect Spore and its better matchup against Fighting-types. Even in sun, which isn't viable either, Bulbasaur and Bellsprout completely outclass it due to better offensive presence, higher Speed stats, and the ability to set up.
