Victreebel

Mega Victreebel sits at a 2.67% usage rate in singles, ranked 53rd, functioning as a utility slot in established squads. Its Grass/Poison typing grants weaknesses to only Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic, while resisting Water, Electric, Fighting, and Fairy and shrugging off Grass at a quarter. The 80/65/70 bulk is on the fragile side, and 70 Speed forces it to act second in most exchanges, leaning on status moves to dictate the pace. Innards Out punishes any knockout with a mirror blowback, and the item slot is locked to Victreebelite at 100%.

Playstyle：The core gameplan revolves around status moves that suffocate opponent momentum. Strength Sap at 19.8% drains Attack and heals simultaneously, grinding down slow physical threats; Sucker Punch at 16.6% punishes priority or setup attempts at 70 base power; Encore at 4.8% traps opponents into repeating their last move. Together they form a disruption chain. Giga Drain 23.5% and Sludge Bomb 11.5% deliver STAB coverage, while Knock Off 9.3% and Poison Jab 5.4% round out the movepool. Rash 32/2/0/32/0/0 leads at 44.4% as a mixed attacker spread, Naughty 32/32/0/0/2/0 at 20.1% favors physical momentum, and Bold 32/0/32/2/0/0 at 13.5% is the minority defensive option. Teammate data shows Basculegion 14.1%, Primarina 11.5%, and Archaludon 10.8% — all slow heavy hitters that align with Victreebel-Mega's measured tempo.

At just 0.17% usage in doubles, ranked 153rd, Mega Victreebel is virtually absent from the format. Doubles environments are saturated with Flying, Psychic, and Fire-type attackers along with common Steel and Fairy picks, exposing the quadruple Flying weakness and double Psychic weakness to overwhelming damage. Even with post-Mega Attack and Special Attack of 105 and 100 respectively, 70 Speed offers no first-strike opportunity under double-target pressure. Protect at 6.3% replaces Knock Off versus singles play, yet the overall move structure remains nearly identical and makes no meaningful adjustment to doubles pacing.

Playstyle：The doubles sample is too thin for a definitive breakdown. Protect absorbs some of Knock Off's role at 6.3%, yet that share alone signals it is not a locked-in option either. Teammate data shows Kingambit 15%, Sneasler 14.7%, Sableye 14.3%, and Corviknight 14.2% clustering around tempo-control and disruption mons, suggesting Mega Victreebel is treated as a utility piece rather than a damage core. Raichu-Mega-Y at 9% hints that the 3.8% Weather Ball may see niche experimentation under sun conditions.

Victreebel registers a 0% usage rate in singles and does not surface in the active metagame. The grass-poison archetype is saturated by Venusaur and Breloom, leaving no room for an alternative. Even with Chlorophyll boosting its speed under sun, the 70 base Speed ties with the rest of the tier and rarely secures meaningful turns. Its role as a wallbreaker is fully eclipsed.

In doubles Victreebel sits at 0.01% usage and rank 265, picked only by fringe teams. Its grass-poison typing offers some useful resistances but leaves it exposed to fire, ice, flying, and psychic, all common in the format. Sleep Powder leads the move set at 21.5%, paired with Chlorophyll under sun for a support-control shell. The narrow role and fragile bulk keep it out of mainstream use.

Playstyle：Doubles play revolves around Sleep Powder for turn-one control, with Protect anchoring the switch ins. Weather Ball converts sun into a 100-power STAB nuke when the matchup calls for it. Chlorophyll is locked at 100%, and the team shell is built around sun, hence Torkoal leading teammates at 13.8%. Focus Sash at 54.2% is the default item, letting Victreebel lead or pivot into combat without collapsing. Choice Scarf at 19.8% secures priority on support moves, while Wide Lens at 12.4% patches Sleep Powder accuracy. Modest 57.6% is the dominant spread, with Adamant or Jolly shells reserved for physical or faster variants.
