>>36893558>>36893567The problem is that in practice, those differences don't really matter. Weather Ball is nice, but without permanent sun it is potentially dead weight on Victreebel. Gluttony/Belch theoretically gives Victree a point of difference but in practice it can't use it effectively.
Vileplume's unique assets (Moonblast, Effect Spore, Aromatherapy and Strength Sap) or outweighed by its relative fragility and lack of Leech Seed.
Moonlight functions identically to Synthesis btw
I think Roserade (unique abilities, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, glass cannon) and Amoonguss (Spore, Regenerator) differentiate themselves from the other 3 just fine.
I just think it sucks when they make omnibus Pokemon that outclass multiple Pokemon (like Venusaur) or directly outclass another (Donphan for Sandslash)
>>36893583Before it mega evolves. And besides, Vileplume should never run Chlorophyll.
