I've used this guy in two runs (LeafGreen and SoulSilver) and he was a bro in both. However, he was the weakest link. If he had better level-up moves (Leaf Storm, Sludgebomb, Sucker Punch) he would be far better. His design is also god-tier.

>Blue exclusive
>Counterpart (Vileplume) got a split evo in Gen II
>Magmar got an evolution in Gen IV, as did its counterpart Electabuzz
>Pinsir got a Mega in Gen VI, like Scizor (Scyther was its counterpart in Gen I)
>Meowth, Vulpix, Sandshrew got completely retyped as Alola Forms in Gen VII (Although Mankey, Growlithe, Ekans got nothing)
>Victreebel has gotten nothing aside from +10 to BST in Gen VI, same with Vileplume and Bellossom (but in different stats for each)
Victreebel is one of those forgotten Pokemans. Shame, because it's kind iconic as far as the anime goes. I hope he ends up with an Alolan form alongside mah nigga Tentacruel.

I feel like quite a few Pokemon are pretty famous in the anime, but are forgotten in general. Carnivine is definitely one example of this.

This nigga is the goat grass type in RBY

This big girl has good attack and decent speed. Give it Body Slam/Return with Shadow Ball, Curse and Milk Drink and you got a bulky physical sweeper (in gen 3 anyway)

Nope. That would be Exeggutor
Victreebel saw quite a bit of play in the gen 5 meta, because it was one of the few good physical sun sweepers (the alternative was Shiftry, during a generation where fighting type priority was everywhere). It was a very rare instance of a very low-tier mon running around in OU.

Is this thing any good? I always root for mein neger Vileplume.

PMD cemented this guy in my heart
>>32966969
it's a decent sun sweeper. gets good coverage on both sides (leaf blade, poison jab, knock off / solar beam, sludge bomb, weather ball), gets all the standard grass powder moves, swords dance, growth, leech life.
Victreebel is the offensive counterpart to vileplume.

Tauros is still really solid pokemon for that matter.
Intimidate is great, but it also has sheer force
75/95/70 defenses, 110 speed, 100 attack,

I think Miltank is supposed to be a defensive Tauros. Thick Fat is kinda neat, I like it.
