LC Cherubi

[OVERVIEW]
Cherubi is only ever used on sun teams to support the team's main Chlorophyll sweeper, which is usually Bellsprout. Unfortunately, with Vulpix's ban sun has dropped dramatically in viability to the point where even this tiny niche isn't enough to make it viable. That's not even mentioning the other Chlorophyll sweepers such as Bulbasaur and Oddish, which outclass Cherubi even on sun, and Snivy, which is the better option everywhere else, meaning Cherubi should not be used on any serious team.

The only thing Cherubi has over other Chlorophyll sweepers is access to Healing Wish, which permits more aggressive plays with the main sweeper. However, Bulbasaur and Oddish both sport secondary typings and access to Sleep Powder, making them better choices for backup sun sweepers. In addition, manual weather is not particularly viable.

I'm in favor of a mild meme name since Cheribu was used somewhat variable in ORAS. I'm pretty sure Evio would simply be the best, esp w/o D Gleam, which lets you more aptly support a Bellsprout or smthng. set sun -> kill smthng in front of you if you can, healing wish otherwise

The only reason you should ever use Cherubi is to weaken the opposing team for another sweeper on sun teams. One thing Cherubi has over other Chlorophyll sweepers is access to Healing Wish, which lets you play more agressively aggressively with your main sweeper. However, Bulbasaur and Oddish both sport secondary typings and access to Sleep Powder, making them better choices for backup sun sweepers. Manual weather is not particularly viable however.
QC: 1/2

State explicitly at the start of the last sentence that Cherubi should not be used on any serious team.

[SET]
Cherubi isn't well known enough as a joke to really call for a meme name - at most call it Sun "Sweeper"

[SET COMMENTS]
Not one thing, Healing Wish is the only useful thing Cherubi has over other Sun sweepers. The last sentence is really jarring from a reader's point of view, would recommend a lead in like "In addition, ..."

Cherubi is only ever used on sun teams to support the team's main Chlorophyll sweeper, which is (usually Bellsprout). Unfortunately, with Vulpix's ban,(AC) sun has dropped dramatically in viability to the point where even this tiny niche isn't enough to make it viable. That's not even mentioning that the other Chlorophyll sweepers such as Bulbasaur and Oddish,(AC) which outclass Cherubi even on in sun, while and Snivy, which is the better option everywhere else, meaning Cherubi should not be used on any serious team.
