PU Victreebel (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

Victreebel is a threatening wallbreaker in PU due to its decent neutral STAB coverage and potential coverage moves hitting would-be switch-ins like Alolan Sandslash and Articuno. Furthermore, Victreebel's niche is bolstered by its ability to threaten Pokemon seeing more usage due to Lilligant's ban such as Regirock. Strength Sap lets Victreebel beat pokemon like Skuntank and Gurdurr reliably and somewhat mitigates the fact that Victreebel has poor bulk. However, it struggles to break through specially defensive walls, so Pokemon such as Stoutland and Aggron are appreciated, and they draw in Fighting-types Victreebel can beat too. Pivots such as Lanturn and Mesprit can get it in more easily against dedicated walls like Alolan Sandslash and Regirock, and the latter can fully heal it with Healing Wish and provides Stealth Rock, easing Victreebel's job. Other hazard setters that compliment Victreebel well include Froslass, which is one of Victreebel's best partners due to pressuring common checks, and Mudsdale.

Victreebel is a threatening wallbreaker in the PU metagame. (why?) It appreciates the slight uptick of rockers that were prone to being Liligant set up prior to its ban, such as Mudsdale and Regirock. Between its strong STAB attacks and potential coverage moves, Victreebel can be rather hard to switch into. (what does its coverage move hit?) However, Victreebel itself has middling bulk and can only really tank hits after a Strength Sap bar resisted attacks from pokemon like Gurdurr and Hitmonchan. (imo you should put way more emphasis on ssap, like explain what it does exactly and what it allows it to beat. ssap is the reason this set is good) Luckily, slow pivots like Eelectross and Mesprit (spacing here) can cover it. (this doesnt rlly add much, especially since they cant rlly switch on stuff vic struggles against. If you're going to mention slow pivots at least say that they allow to come on the field safely againt x and y) Mesprit shines with its ability to restore Victreebel back to full with Healing Wish if Victreebel hasn't been able to get a turn for Strength Sap, as well as provide Stealth Rocks to pressure switch ins further, especially Articuno. (i mean cuno usually hards mes most of the time, so idt this is a v good example. just say that it allows it to pressure stuff easier) Other hazard setters that compliment Victreebel well include Froslass and Mudsdale, with Spikes and Stealth Rocks respectively. These three can pivot into stronger moves for Victreebel too since Victreebel struggles to tank hits that aren't weak and resisted. (yeah you should def put more emphasis on what lass does, as it's easily one of its best partner)(also no physical wallbreakers mentions? vic pairs super well with stuff like stout and aggron)

do this and let me know when you're done

Victreebel is a threatening wallbreaker in PU due to its strong STAB attacks having decent neutral coverage and potential coverage moves hitting would be switch-ins like Alolan Sandslash and Articuno. Furthermore, Victreebel's niche is bolstered by its ability to threaten Pokemon seeing more usage due to Lilligant getting banned, such as Regirock. Strength Sap lets Victreebel beat pokemon like Skuntank and Gurdurr reliably, the former otherwise walling it completely (i mean it doesnt rlly completely wall it, it takes like 75% from z-leaf storm lol) and somewhat mitigates the fact that Victreebel has poor bulk. (This isn't really fluid so i would say smth like "However, it struggles to break through specially defensive walls so...) Pokemon such as Stoutland and Aggron (are appreciated) can break Specially Defensive walls for it too (here i would def mention that vic can take advantage of stuff like gurdurr and regi, which they invite in). Pivots such as Manectric (mane isnt rlly good and usually vic wants a slow voltturn, so either mention eel or lanturn, which has the added bonus of checking fire-types) and Mesprit can get (it in) either breaker in easier against dedicated walls like Alolan Sandslash and Regirock and the latter can fully heal it with Healing Wish and provides Stealth Rocks, easing Victreebel's job In particular, Mesprit shines with its ability to restore Victreebel back to full with Healing Wish if Victreebel hasn't been able to get a turn for Strength Sap, in addition to providing Stealth Rocks to pressure switch-ins. Other hazard setters that compliment Victreebel well include Froslass, which is one of Victreebel's best partners (as it can pressure the checks they have in common) and Mudsdale, with Spikes and Stealth Rocks respectively.

Most of this was removing fluff but w/e, QC 1/1. Good work :)
