Vileplume's unique typing plus its bulk allows it to wall pokemon like Virizion, Steelix, Gigalith, and Passimian. Corrosive gas lets Vileplume eliminate Heavy-Duty-Boots and Leftovers from common switch-ins like Charizard, Bronzong, and Centiskorch. Sleep Powder can be an alternative choice over Corrosive gas because it allows Vileplume teammates to come in for free and force Vileplumes common switch-ins out. Strength sap provides Vileplume with the utility to weaken its checks like Escavlier and Copperajah, while also healing its self. An alternate set for Vileplume is, 4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe with Chlorophyll, Timid nature, and Life Orb, paired with a sun setter such as Ninetales and Torkal. This set makes Vileplume a very annoying sweeper do deal with because Growth gives +2 Special Attack in sun, but it will lack a defensive presence and Pokemon like Bronzong, Klefki, and Copperajah make it very hard for Vileplume to sweep.

Water-type Pokemon like Mantine and Vaporeon are phenomenal partners since they can both counter powerful Fire-Types, for example, Charizard and Salazzle. Dark or Steel Types such as Copperajah and Umbreon are also appreciated since they can both check pokemon like Indeedee-F, Espeon, and Gardevoir. Pokemon that have Sap Sipper as an ability, for example, Drampa or Goodra can be extremely compromising since Sap Sipper prevents Vileplume by healing with Giga Drain and Strenght sap. provides the user immunity to Grass-Type moves. Which then they can undermine Vileplume with a Draco Meteor, so countermeasures to these ground-breaking Dragons are Fairy-Type pokemon such as, Gardevoir and Silvally-Fairy.

Vileplume's unique typing plus its viable defense stats allow bulk allows it to wall pokemon like Virizion, Steelix, Gigalith, and Passimian. However, it's frail special defense makes it vulnerable against Special attacking pokemon like Dragalge and Espeon. (Vileplume has better spdef than physdef. This sentence should just be changed to explain that it faces competition from tangela, dhelmise, etc) Corrosive gas lets Vileplume eliminate Heavy-Duty-Boots and Leftovers from common switch-ins like Charizard, Bronzong, and Centiskorch. Sleep Powder can be an alternative choice over Corrosive gas because it provides great utility and (fluff) allows Vileplume to put one of its switch-ins which then can pressure them with its STABS. (the main appeal of sleep is allowing teammates to break past common plume switchins with the free turns) Strength sap allows Vileplume to weaken its checks attacks Pokemon it checks like Escavlier and Copperajah, while also healing its self. (probs mention it also means u dont get dicked by sand like synth) An alternate set for Vileplume is, 4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe with Chlorophyll, Timid nature, and Life Orb, paired with a sun setter such as Ninetales and Torkal. This set makes Vileplume a very deadly sweeper because of Growth gives +2 Special Attack in sun, but it will lack a defensive presence. (calling sun plume "very deadly" is pushing it. there are much better sun abusers and u still get shut down by similar mons. mention more downsides like getting walled by common stuff like klefki, copper, and bronzong or getting traced by garde)

Water-type Pokemon like Mantine and Vaporeon are phenomenal partners since they can both counter powerful Fire-Types, for example, Charizard and Salazzle. (this is questionable. Mantine hates getting tox'd by lazzle and neither vapo nor mantine really beats sub sets) Dark or Steel Types such as Copperajah and Umbreon are also appreciated since they can both check pokemon like Indeedee-F, Espeon, and Gardevoir. Pokemon that have Sap Sipper as an ability, for example, Drampa or Goodra can be extremely compromising since Sap Sipper provides the user immunity to Grass-Type moves. (remove drampa mentions, not relevant. Just say goodra has sap sipper which prevents strength sap) Which then they can undermine Vileplume with an incredible Draco Meteor, so countermeasures to these ground-breaking Dragons are Fairy-Type pokemon such as, Gardevoir and Silvally-Fairy. (this sentence reads very strangely) Vileplume usually fits on balanced teams or Hyper Offensive teams depending on the set. (unnecessary imo)

(mention gigalith as a partner. Checks dragons/zard/psychics. could also mention coal if u want)
(mention that keys spikes for free on plume, so it really wants anti hazard support like xatu, mantine, etc)
