<p> This Venomoth set plays very similar to its Roserade brethren. Since Venomoth will be mostly played in UU, she becomes a sister set to the similar Toxic Spike Roserade set.</p>
<p>Both utilize Sleep Powder to cripple their opponents and both lay Toxic Spikes. Combined with an un-resisted STAB Bug Buzz thanks to Tinted Lens, Venomoth also has the ability to lay the hurt. Without Sandstorm and Hail in UU, Focus Sash becomes the primary item and the EVs allow her to outspeed most leads, though you probably want to keep her away from things such as Swellow and Altaria. The Special Attack EVs put more damage in your attacks, but can be easily modified if you want a more bulky Moth. Physic is a great option to hit those Grounded Poisons coming in to absorb your Spikes. Hidden Power Ground allows you to hit incoming Fires who may scare you off. </p>
[OTHER OPTIONS]
<p> HP Ice is a surprise option as it allows you to hit Salamence, Hippowdon, Yanmega, and Roserade leads if you decide to play him as an OU lead. Hidden Power Fire may be your best bet though, as it can easily take out Venomoths biggest counter in OU, Forretress along with its ability to hit Steels that aren't affected by Toxic Spikes.</p>
