Vileplume is typically used as a defensive pivot, but loses that niche to Amoonguss and Tangrowth (amongst others) in the higher tiers.
I wanted to give it the same tool that those others have, but differentiated it from them by making it an offensive pivot instead of a defensive one.
It can come in on things it doesn't threaten and force them out with a fear of status, or it can come in on things it does threaten and get big damage on the switch. You can probably choose between an offensive or defensive style of play depending on your team.
