Defensive Ivysaur is an excellent utility Pokemon in the NFE tier thanks to its helpful typing and solid bulk. With Knock Off to remove Eviolite, Ivysaur can make foes like Misdreavus and Koffing much easier to handle for teammates that struggle against them, like Piloswine and Monferno. Sludge Bomb is a great STAB attack as it can allow Ivysaur to land poisons against defensive staples like Dunsparce and Misdreavus, wearing them down quickly. Ivysaur is a superb wall against foes like Gabite, Thwackey, and Servine.

Ivysaur is a great choice for balance and bulky offense teams that want a grounded Poison-type to absorb Toxic Spikes while offering tremendous utility in the form of Knock Off support. Teammates that can appreciate the Eviolite and Toxic Spikes removal include setup sweepers like Girafarig, Monferno, and Vigoroth, helping blow past foes like Tinkatuff and Misdreavus; wallbreakers like Pignite and Thwackey also benefit greatly, breaking through walls like Koffing and Vigoroth much easier. Stealth Rock setters like Piloswine and Tinkatuff have great defensive synergy with Ivysaur and are valuable to help wear down the opposition with entry hazard chip damage, as well as, in Tinkatuff's case, helping spread status with Thunder Wave to enable the aforementioned offensive threats even further. Quaxwell is a great teammate, helping sponge attacks from Fire-types like Pignite and Raboot while offering hazard removal to help Ivysaur not get worn down as quickly. Ivysaur, despite its Poison-typing, has a hard time breaking past Koffing because of its combination of Will-O-Wisp and Sludge Bomb; partners like Drakloak and Hisuian Sliggoo are important to help keep Koffing in check. Girafarig and Piloswine are notable threats to Ivysaur, making teammates like Misdreavus, Quaxwell, and Tinkatuff even more valuable.

Sludge Bomb is a great STAB attack as it can allow Ivysaur to land poisons against walls like Dunsparce and Misdreavus, wearing them down quickly. With full investment in physical defense, Ivysaur is a superb wall against foes like Gabite, Thwackey, and Vigoroth.

Teammates that can appreciate the Eviolite removal and Toxic Spikes removal include setup sweepers like Girafarig, Monferno, and Vigoroth, helping blow past foes like Tinkatuff and Misdreavus. Stealth Rock setters like Clefairy, Dunsparce, and Tinkatuff have great defensive synergy with Ivysaur and are valuable to help wear down the opposition with entry hazard chip damage, as well as helping spread status with Thunder Wave to enable the aforementioned offensive threats even further. Quaxwell is a great teammate, helping sponge attacks from Fire-types like Pignite and Raboot while offering hazard removal to help Ivysaur not get worn down as quickly. Ivysaur, despite its Poison-typing, does struggle against Koffing as it takes a lot from the combination of Will-O-Wisp and Sludge Bomb I'd say has a hard time breaking past rather than taking a lot of damage; if they hypothetically 1v1ed each other most likely a teammate would pick them off immediately afterwards; partners like Drakloak and Hisuian Sliggoo are important to help keep Koffing in check. Girafarig and Piloswine are notable threats to Ivysaur, making teammates like Misdreavus, Quaxwell, and Tinkatuff even more valuable.

With Knock Off to remove Eviolite, Ivysaur can make foes like Misdreavus and Tinkatuff Koffing (pickpocket is annoying, koff is much more relevant imo) much easier to handle for teammates that struggle against them, like Piloswine and Girafarig Monferno.

(add a line on wallbreakers with examples of thwackey and pignite, similar reasoning as setup) Stealth Rock setters like Piloswine Clefairy, Dunsparce, and Tinkatuff (the major ones) have great defensive synergy with Ivysaur and are valuable to help wear down the opposition with entry hazard chip damage, as well as, in Tinkatuff's case, helping spread status with Thunder Wave to enable the aforementioned offensive threats even further.
