Notable Moves
Sleep Powder
Razor Leaf
Swords Dance
Body Slam
Hyper Beam
Double-Edge
Pros
- One of the faster sleepers in the game, and a consistent one with Sleep Powder at that.
- STAB Razor Leaf is immensely powerful with a 99.6% criticial hit rate, allowing Venusaur to hit the Water-types of the meta for massive damage. It's the more powerful one out of it and Victreebel iirc, esp considering Speed.
- Ability to set up with Swords Dance to pad out its physical attacking potential with Body Slam or Hyper Beam. Double-Edge can net some niche KOs as well.
Cons
- One of the few Grass-types to be without Stun Spore, despite getting the other powders, which limits its options.
- Competes with Victreebel for a place on teams, which does Swords Dance better while having Wrap and Stun Spore.
- Poison typing drags it down against Psychic-types while letting Earthquake hit neutrally.
- Absolutely mauled by Gengar
