Victreebel @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Leaf Blade
- Sucker Punch
- Sleep Powder / Return

This Pitcher Trap is one of DPP PU's most threatening wallbreakers thanks to its high Attack; strong STAB combination, allowing it to threaten most of the tier with notable targets like Relicanth and Rhydon; and useful utility options like Sleep Powder and Sucker Punch! With Sucker Punch, Victreebel can circumvent its somewhat middling Speed stat to revenge kill faster foes like Zangoose while also providing coverage against Pokemon like Choice Scarf Misdreavus and Xatu. Sleep Power provides Victreebel with utility, helping it cripple switch-ins and checks such as Muk and Torkoal while also allowing it to safely use Swords Dance more often. Alternatively, Return can deal with Grass- and Poison-types at the cost of utility. Victreebel does not have a reliable Poison-type STAB option, making opposing Grass-types like Bellossom and Tangela difficult to deal without Return. As such, counters to these walls such as Magmar, Muk, and Choice Band Pinsir are useful partners to have. Victreebel is relatively frail and slow, so having pivots such as Monferno and Purugly that can get it in safely to set up against Pokemon like Ampharos are solid partners.

This Pitcher Trap is one of DPP PU's most threatening setup sweepers wallbreakers (i think the toolkit better aligns with calling it a wallbreaker. it doesnt sweep with its speed really) thanks to its high Attack, strong STAB allowing it to threaten most of the tier with notable targets like Relicanth and Rhydon, and useful utility options like Sleep Powder and Sucker Punch! With Sucker Punch, Victreebel can circumvent its somewhat middling Speed stat to revenge kill faster foes like Purugly and (dont want to encourage ppl to keep their vic in on purugly for it to get bopped by fake out + faster sucker) Zangoose while also providing coverage against Pokemon like Choice Scarf Misdreavus and Xatu. Sleep Power provides Victreebel utility, helping it cripple switchins and checks such as Muk and Torkoal, while also allowing it to safely Swords Dance more. Victreebel does not have reliable Poison-type STAB, making opposing Grass-types like Bellossom and Tangela difficult to deal with, but can run Return over Sleep Powder to mitigate this at the cost of the arguably more impactful utility of Sleep. As such, counters to these walls such as Magmar, Muk, and Choice Band Pinsir (unsure about including cb pinsir but its probably fine. Muk being first is my compromise) are useful partners to have. Victreebel is relatively frail and slow, so having pivots such as Monferno and Purugly who can help it get it safely against Pokemon like Ampharos to set up are solid partners.

Please address my comment re: the sentence that talks about Bellossom and Tangela before finishing; let me know if you have any questions.

This Pitcher Trap is one of DPP PU's most threatening wallbreaker wallbreakers thanks to its high Attack (RC); (ASC) strong STAB combination, (AC) allowing it to threaten most of the tier with notable targets like Relicanth and Rhydon (RC); (ASC) and useful utility options like Sleep Powder and Sucker Punch! With Sucker Punch, Victreebel can circumvent its somewhat middling Speed stat to revenge kill faster foes like Zangoose while also providing coverage against Pokemon like Choice Scarf Misdreavus and Xatu. Sleep Power provides Victreebel with utility, helping it cripple switchins switch-ins and checks such as Muk and Torkoal (RC) while also allowing it to safely use Swords Dance more often. Alternatively, Return can deal with Grass- and Poison-types at the cost of utility. Victreebel does not have a reliable Poison-type STAB option, making opposing Grass-types like Bellossom and Tangela difficult to deal with Return. I don't understand what you are trying to say here. Are you saying that Return cannot deal with Bellossom and Tangela? Doesn't that contrast what you said in the prior sentence? As such, counters to these walls such as Magmar, Muk, and Choice Band Pinsir are useful partners to have. Victreebel is relatively frail and slow, so having pivots such as Monferno and Purugly who that can help get it get it in safely to set up against Pokemon like Ampharos to set up are solid partners.
