- Description
- Online Pokédex
Venusaur has average and above stats, with Special Defense being surprisingly good. He could stand well as a Special Sweeper or as a Tank. He is able to learn a wide variety of moves which can make him really annoying. This moveset is not particularly suited against Steel types, due to their total resistance to Poison type moves and normal resistance to Grass type moves. You should also avoid Fire types. However, Venusaur could take a few hits from Fire based attacks before going down.

Role: Annoyer
The straightforward strategy would be Sunny Day + Solarbeam. This is overly used by most Grass types so I will suggest a moveset much more annoying… for your opponents Start off with a Toxic attack followed by Leech Seed. Always use Toxic first since your opponent will probably switch to get rid of Leech Seed. Magical Leaf is not powerful but is accurate and gets STAB, thus has a base damage of 90. The last move is a filler, probably a special type Hidden Power or if you wish to be more annoying try using Attract.
Egg Moves
These are the moves Bulbasaur can learn through breeding with Pokémon of the Plant and/or Monster Egg Group, and the Pokémon it can get them from.
Training Grounds
This section is to advise you on the areas in which you can train for the acquisition of the Effort Points presented above. It is recommended you use 10 vitamins on the stat you desire to raise. Do not use vitamins on stats that require less than 100 Effort Points. Equip the Macho Brace on your Pokémon to speed up the process even more.

Contests
- Item Held
- Red/Blue Scarf
- Contest Moveset
- Magical Leaf [Beauty]
- Growl [Cute]
- Solarbeam [Cool]
- Growth [Beauty]
This moveset is suited for either “Beauty” or “Cool” Contests. The basic concept is to get Solarbeam or Magical Leaf working after using Growth, since Growth makes a combo with both Magical Leaf and Solarbeam. Magical Leaf is also for occasions when you’ll be appealing first and Growl when last in the row. You can however replace Growth with Sunny Day which is also a Beauty type move and makes a combo with both Solarbeam and Magical Leaf, but the appeal points it gives away depend on the crowd’s excitement.
