[Set comments]
Substitute Leech Seed Venusaur leverages her many good resistances to become difficult to take down, this set is best played by using your STAB Sludge Bomb to force out the Grass' who would otherwise be immune to your Leech Seed shenanigans and take that opptunity to substitute or leech seed the incoming Pokémon. Earth Power forces out, chips, or KOs Pokémon like Salazzle, Arcanine or Sandslash Alola who would aim to break your Substitute. Toxic and Knock Off can be ran to further speed up the killing process or provide utility, respectively.
80 Defense EVs and a positive Defense nature allow your Substitute to survive Bruxish’s Wave Crash and take minimal damage from any of Hisuian Decidueye’s moves. Your substitute always lives a choice scarf Florgess Moonblast. You also avoid a 2HKO from Tera Electric Pawmot’s Double Shock.
Tera Dark can be run to avoid Psychic moves, Prankster status, and the many Sucker Punches aiming to break your Substitute. Tera Ground provides a boost to Earth Power’s power while switching up your resistances. Water and Steel are also good Tera types that synergize well with Venusaur’s Role on most teams.
This set is best used on bulky or balance structures allowing her team to take advantage of her defensive profile and Venusaur to do the same with its teammates. Venusaur can be overwhelmed by the Pokémon it checks, especially if they are running Life Orb or a Choice item. Pairing it with another soft check allows both to handle a wider variety of threats for many more turns than they could alone. Friendship is magic!
