Strategy Overview

Beedrill is an absolutely terrible Pokemon. It has a few good points such as its decent Attack stat and good support movepool, but it's also plagued with a terrible offensive and defensive typing as well as low Speed and abysmal bulk. It's hopelessly outclassed by other suicide leads such as Glalie and Leavanny due to their higher Speed and actual offensive presence, and by Venipede for its ability to outspeed common Taunt and Encore users at +1. It may have a small niche in the combination of Toxic Spikes and Tailwind, but even that isn't enough to make it even a remotely good Pokemon.
