This build focuses on reducing Petal Dance's cooldown to the point where Venusaur can keep activating the move all the time. This allows the Pokemon to keep the uptime of the movement speed increase and the AoE damage to virtually forever, all while triggering the cooldown reduction effect on Giga Drain. It's best to play safe in the early game up until Venusaur gets both moves or reaches level 9.

Shell Bell and Energy Amplifier are the core items for the build, giving Venusaur a total of 9% cooldown reduction on its moves. Focus Band alleviates Venusaur's weak early game but will generally act as a durability and survivability tool.

Eject Button is the default battle item for the build, giving Venusaur a mobility tool to work with. However, X Speed can work just as fine. If disables would be a problem, consider equipping Full Heal instead.

The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 7 Black Emblems for maximum move cooldown reduction and 6 Green Emblems for maximum Sp. Atk. This can be achieved by having three (3) Emblems that are both Black and Green. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk or HP since there are no Black Emblems that increase Sp. Atk. Attack and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

Secure Accelgor For Max Cooldown Reduction

A good strategy is to capture Accelgor to get more cooldown reduction! On top of the items and emblems in this build, getting the effect will reduce Petal Dance's cooldown down to 5 seconds. Since the move's effect also lasts for 5 seconds, Venusaur can essentially keep the move active until Accelgor's effect wears off!

This build is focused on slowing enemies using Sludge Bomb and dealing high damage from afar with Solar Beam. Since Venusaur won't have any defensive items, it is best to use this build when the team has Defenders or All-Rounders that can protect Venusaur.

Wise Glasses gives Venusaur a large Sp. Atk. boost thanks to its percentage bonus. Choice Specs improves Venusaur's burst damage by increasing its moves' minimum damage, particularly Solar Beam. Slick Spoon adds more Sp. Atk. and gives Venusaur Sp. Def. penetration, improving its damage output even more.

Eject Button is Venusaur's only means of escaping or repositioning when it needs a better angle to use Solar Beam. X Speed can also work nicely for the same purpose.

The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems to maximize damage and 4 Emblems of any color. Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk for even more damage. Attack and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

This build utilizes the HP recovery effect of Giga Drain and its interaction with Petal Dance to allow Venusaur to tank as much damage as possible.

Focus Band improves Venusaur's defenses and surivability. Assault Vest adds more Sp. Def. and gives Venusaur a shield to absorb Sp. Atk. damage. Buddy Barrier provides a large HP boost and a teamfight tool. The shield from the item also protects Venusaur from heavy burst damage.

Eject Button is a must-have battle item for this build, providing both offensive and defensive options. Alternatively, Potion can also work well since its healing scales with HP.

The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems for extra damage and 4 White Emblems to get more HP. Equip Emblems that improve HP to be as durable as possible. Attack and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats.

List of Battle Items

Best Moveset

Move Explanation
Petal Dance ImagePetal Dance Petal Dance offers a burst of movement speed and AoE damage in a single move. It's most effective when paired with Giga Drain due to its cooldown reduction mechanic.
Giga Drain ImageGiga Drain Giga Drain is a reliable AoE damage and healing move. It has the potential to sustain Venusaur's HP endlessly when paired with Petal Dance.

The synergy between Petal Dance and Giga Drain allows Venusaur to tank hits while dealing constant damage in an area. The burst of movement speed you get from Petal Dance plus the ability to sustain HP throughout a fight makes it hard for enemies to escape. Also, Giga Drain's cooldown is reduced by 1s every time Petal Dance hits an enemy Pokemon, enabling you to keep spamming it to recover HP.

Choosing a moveset for Venusaur depends on which playstyle you prefer. If you prefer a burst-type damage dealer, always go for Solar Beam and Sludge Bomb. If you prefer a late-game carry playstyle, stick with Petal Dance and Giga Drain.

How to Play Venusaur

Jump to Section

Play Safe Until Level 7

Venusaur's power spike starts at level 7 when it has both of its primary moves. It's best to play safe in the early game and focus first on leveling up.

Take the Jungle

You can always go to the jungle at the start of the game for the most efficient and safest way to level up. However, it all depends on which moveset you're taking. If you're taking Giga Drain and Petal Dance, going to the jungle helps you get to level 7 quickly. But if you're taking Sludge Bomb and Solar Beam, it's better if you head to one of the lanes.

Jungle Guide and Best Junglers

Utilize Razor Leaf in the Early Game

Razor Leaf is a great offensive tool in the early game. Use it as often as you can to farm wild Pokemon or knock out opponents.

Razor Leaf: Venusaur Move Effect and Cooldown

Switch Up Playstyle Based on Chosen Moves

Always switch up your playstyle based on the moveset you're taking. Although both move combinations offer damage, they require two distinct playstyles to work properly.

Play Defensively with Solar Beam and Sludge Bomb

If you're using Solar Beam and Sludge Bomb, you need to stay at the backlines and utilize Solar Beam's long range to provide firepower for your team. You always need to mind your position before using your moves, especially during a teamfight.

Be Aggressive with Giga Drain and Petal Dance

With Giga Drain and Petal Dance, you need to be in the frontlines to make the most out of the moveset. The key to this moveset is reducing Giga Drain's cooldown by hitting as many opponents as you can with Petal Dance, allowing you to continuously recovery HP while fighting.

Control Enemy Movement with Boosted Attacks

Venusaur's Boosted Attacks pull targets towards it and briefly stuns it. Use your Boosted Attacks to control enemy movement and set up your other moves.

Utilize Overgrow

Venusaur's passive ability, Overgrow, increases its damage when the Pokemon is at low HP. This is useful for 1v1 fights since it gives you an edge as your HP drops. However, you shouldn't always try to fight at low HP just for the damage. It's important to know when to fight and when to retreat.

Moreover, Overgrow works best if you're running Giga Drain and Petal Dance since you can sustain HP while fighting.

Overgrow: Venusaur Ability Effects

Initiate Fights with Verdant Anger

Verdant Anger is a great initiation tool due to its damage. Use it to deplete your enemies' HP before the fight starts, giving your team an advantage for the fight.

Best Teammates for Venusaur

Pokemon Explanation
Mr. Mime ImageMr. Mime Snorlax ImageSnorlax Tsareena ImageTsareena Aggressive Frontliners
Regardless of which moveset Venusaur learns, having Pokemon that can tank and deal damage in the frontlines gives room for the Pokemon to freely hit enemies. They can also use disabling moves like Heavy Slam and Confusion to keep enemies away from Venusaur or to set up for the Pokemon's moves. Moreover, they are excellent lane partners for Venusaur.
Alolan Ninetales ImageAlolan Ninetales Slowbro ImageSlowbro Wigglytuff ImageWigglytuff Disablers
Pokemon with disabling moves can take some pressure off of Venusaur and are great as lane partners, especially in the early game. AoE disabling moves like Dazzling Gleam and Sing can protect Venusaur from threats and also help the Pokemon set up its moves, particularly Solar Beam. Meanwhile, a move like Slowbeam can keep a target in place long enough for Venusaur to knock it out before it can retaliate.
Blissey ImageBlissey Dedicated Supporters
Having a dedicated supporter for Venusaur allows the Pokemon to become more efficient throughout the game, especially if Venusaur goes for the Petal Dance and Giga Drain build. Short-cooldown healing moves like Soft-Boiled practically doubles Venusaur's sustainability by acting as another source of healing. Meanwhile, moves like Safeguard protects Venusaur from disables and burst damage, ensuring that the Pokemon can keep using Petal Dance and Giga Drain during fights. Moreover, a move like Bliss Assistance can make the Pokemon virtually unkillable.
