Oddish's niche consists of a defensive pivot able to put to sleep slower threats such as Munchlax, while serving as a check to Pokemon such as Corphish and Mudbray thanks to Strength Sap, which is prefered over Synthesis due to the unique trait of lowering the opposing Pokemon's Attack by one level, allowing Oddish to outbulk the aforementioned Pokemon to force them out. The given EV spread allows Oddish to give it enough bulk to heal as fast as possible and withstand important moves such as Earthquake from Mudbray and Psychic from Cutiefly.
Trapinch helps Oddish inmensely by trapping Ferroseed, Pawniard and Munchlax, all of which give Oddish a hard time thanks to their typing and bulk, and in return, Oddish checks Water-types such as Corphish and Krabby. Flying-type checks such as Onix and Pawniard patch up Oddish's weakness to the likes of Vullaby and Wingull while providing Stealth Rock support, and in return Oddish checks Corphish and Mudbray for them. Fighting-types like Timburr and Galarian Farfetch'd appreciate Oddish defeating Spritzee for them, which in return can defeat the aforementioned Steel-types and Munchlax thanks to their STAB moves.
