When I watch the team of this week I cannot see any switch-in Victreebel monstrous attacks. Under sun this Pokémon just sweeps many different Pokémons, and in this case, the entire team. However, some Pokémon is needed to set up the sun itself. I chose Carbink with the setter role because it can set both rocks and sun without hesitating and, afterwords, explote. Moreover, it helps a lot with two Pokémons like Primeape and Oricorio-Pom-Pom that cannot OHKO it. Thus, if Carbink is well played you prepare Victreebel's sweep easily.
However, Mesprit can be really useful too setting both rocks and sun again and helping with Healing Wish. With this you can have two sun setters and something to keep healthy and safe your Victreebel.
I would name the team like:
Who needs some sun?
