Started going from each fully evolved mon starting at Venusaur and using an excel spreadsheet in order to best allocate stats and then make move sets to go with it, some mons will have multiple sets, for example another set that prioritises speed over defenses for Chlorophyll Venusaur, or physical on Charizard for mind games/Mega Charizard X.
Then I get to Butterfree and I realise that their are going to be a lot of Pokemon with generally low stats, and I should make more effective use of their ability.
Anyone interested or have any ideas?

Butterfree has compound eyes + sleep powder as a niche.
With more speed, it could become more reliable at statusing the opponent and quiverdancing.
Hurricane would be out of flavour but also good.
In addition, seeing as it already gets Drea Eater, Nightmare would be funny for gimmicks.

>change its HA to simple
How good is it now?

Mega Butterfree, basically a min-maxed specially defensive counterpart of Mega Beedrill
Bug/Psychic
60 HP
15 Attack (-30)
80 Defense (+30)
100 Sp. Attack (+10)
180 Sp. Defense (+100)
60 Speed (-10)
Gets magic guard as ability.
Now learns calm mind or cosmic power.
The shit typing and 60 HP shouldn't make it too obnoxious of a wall.

Thanks, these are interesting, seems like a good idea to run infestation, does neat damage and if used quick enough can guarantee they don't switch for grass, then Quiver Dance while they asleep, but there is the problem of the enemy waking up and doing damage, the most sensible thing to do would be to run Dream Eater, and if a grass one pops up trade an infestation for Butterfree

mega butter with more speed and sp. attack, now it is bug/psychic
>Attack 30 (-15)
>Defense 80 (+30)
>Sp. Attack 110 (+20)
>Sp. Defense 80 (0)
>Speed 125 (+55)
Moveset
>Sleep power
>Dream eater
>Quiver dance
>Bug Buzz (or maybe giving it pollen puff)
not great bulk and weak against priority moves but it'd be annoying af

powder*
or changing dream eater for psychic and sleep powder with substitute if the sleep set gets too common, too bad gf will keep the butter forgotten
The problem with Butterfree is Vivillon does everything it can do but better.
Butterfree needs either a new niche, or remove Vivillon.
