As an early Pokemon, it won't have high BST. That means that running mixed on it (to use both U-Turn and Volt Switch) would be horrible.

It would be better off having one offensive stat much lower than the other.

For potential BST:
384 Kricketune
385 Dustox
390 Ledian, Ariados
395 Butterfree, Beedrill, Beautifly
411 Vivillon
414 Masquerain
424 Wormadam, Mothim

We're probably looking around the 400 range.

It's hard to pull that off.

Scale on this image is way off. Cutiefly is 0'04, like Joltik. Kuagannon is 4'11.

Not sure about Volt Switch, but it's guaranteed to get U-Turn because of its star fighter inspiration.

Leavanny has 490 and Scolipede has 475 and they're early pokémon by any definition.

Not that they run mixed, but forgetting some regional bugs in the list that don't fit your narrative certainly doesn't help your point.

M8, you're leaving out both Leavanny and Scolipede which didn't have anemic BSTs

Don't kid yourself. Leavanny could be a 600 BST pseudo and still not be good.

Minmax a bit, give it an actual ability and it becomes MegaBeedrill lite.

OP here, I'm aware that if Vikavolt has shitty stats, it won't make a difference. Ideally, it outruns Mega Pinsir, maybe even the Latis, and has good offensive stats. Keep in mind the official website call Vikavolt a "flying fortress", so maybe, just maybe, it will have good Defense as well. Best case scenario would be roughly this:
>HP-40
>Attack-82
>Defense-110
>Special Attack-95
>Special Defense-50
>Speed-113
That's 490, the same as Leavanny. I can see it being quite viable.

You could of course strip from Defense and drop it in HP, but Bugs have never really been known for being fat.
