Build Explanation |
---|
This build utilizes the cooldown reduction effect of Petal Dance on Giga Drain, dealing AoE damage while continuously healing. One strategy for the build is to focus on taking the purple buff to further reduce Venusaur's move cooldowns, particularly Petal Dance. |
· Slick Spoon increases Venusaur's Sp. Atk. and HP, and allows the Pokemon to ignore a portion of its opponents' Sp. Def., resulting to more damage, especially for Petal Dance. · Energy Amplifier gives Venusaur a large damage boost whenever it uses Verdant Anger, which works extremely well with Overgrow. It also provides some cooldown reductions for the Pokemon, particularly Petal Dance, allowing the Pokemon to spam the move. · Focus Band is a staple tank item for Lapras, improving its defenses and giving it a survivability tool. · However, Muscle Band can be a replacement for Slick Spoon, improving Venusaur's attacks through increased damage and attack speed. · Alternatively, Rapid-Fire Scarf can also work for the buid, giving Venusaur a massive attack speed. · Eject Button gives Venusaur extra mobility on top of Petal Dance. · Full Heal can be another great option, allowing Venusaur to purge stuns and debuffs when needed. · The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems for more damage and 7 Black Emblems for cooldown reduction. · This can be achieved by having at least three (3) Emblems that are both Green and Black. · Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk. to maximize Venusaur's damage output or HP for more durability. · Attack and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats. |

Since the build is centered around Petal Dance, Giga Drain, and attacks, equipping items that will maximize their damage while minimizing Petal Dance's cooldown is the ideal item combination. Focus Band is a core item for the build to give Venusaur more durability. Energy Amplifier is also a core item for the build to provide Venusaur both damage and cooldown reductions, leaving only one (1) item slot for consideration.
Based on the results, Muscle Band or Slick Spoon will be the best damage item for the build. Choose Muscle Band to focus more on Venusaur's attacks, otherwise, pick Slick Spoon instead for the best Petal Dance damage.
Alternatively, replacing Muscle Band with Rapid-Fire Scarf can also work. The item's massive attack speed bonus allows Venusaur to perform its Boosted Attacks more often, which is incredibly useful for Petal Dance and Giga Drain.
These damage tests are conducted in Practice Mode with Goodra as the Training Partner. The Pokemon is set to level 15 and has no items equipped. The results are calculated by substracting the Training Partner's max HP and its HP after taking damage.

Build Explanation |
---|
This build is centered on bursting down targets from afar using Sludge Bomb and Solar Beam. |
· Choice Specs increases Venusaur's Sp. Atk. and minimum move damage, particularly Solar Beam. · Slick Spoon provides Venusaur with HP and more Sp. Atk., and it allows the Pokemon to ignore a portion of its opponents' Sp. Def., which works on top of Sludge Bomb's effect, resulting to more damage, particularly for Solar Beam. · Energy Amplifier gives Venusaur a large damage boost whenever it uses Verdant Anger, which works extremely well with Overgrow. It also provides some cooldown reductions for the Pokemon, particularly Solar Beam, allowing the Pokemon to spam the move. · However, Wise Glasses can be a great alternative for Choice Specs, increasing Venusaur's overall Sp. Atk. stat. · Alternatively, replacing Slick Spoon with Shell Bell gives Venusaur more cooldown reduction, particularly for Solar Beam. · Eject Button gives Venusaur the mobility it needs to reposition and maintain a safe distance. · However, X Speed can work just as fine for the same purpose. · The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Green Emblems for more damage and 7 Black Emblems for cooldown reduction. · This can be achieved by having at least three (3) Emblems that are both Green and Black. · Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk. to maximize Venusaur's damage output. · Attack and Critical-Hit Rate can be freely traded for the other stats. |

Since the build is centered on Solar Beam and Sludge Bomb, equipping item that will maximize their damage output is the ideal item combination.
As the results show, Choice Specs, Slick Spoon, and Energy Amplifier will generate the highest damage for both moves. Moreover, the cooldown reductions from Energy Amplifier is benefitial for the build, allowing Venusaur to spam both moves.
As for alternatives, replacing Choice Specs with Wise Glasses would be the best choice. The item combination produced the second best results without the need to stack an item.
For more cooldown reduction, replacing Slick Spoon with Shell Bell would be the ideal option.
These damage tests are conducted in Practice Mode with Goodra as the Training Partner. The Pokemon is set to level 15 and has no items equipped. The results are calculated by substracting the Training Partner's max HP and its HP after taking damage.

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 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.

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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

Razor Leaf Pressure Combo | |
---|---|
![]() |
|
This combo starts at level 5 if you get Sludge Bomb as your move upgrade. Start by slowing the target with Sludge Bomb, which will make targeting Razor Leaf easier. Additionally, opponents affected by the move will also have their Sp. Def. decreased, further increasing the damage of Razor Leaf. |
Petal Drain Combo | |
---|---|
![]() |
|
This combo takes advantage of the cooldown reduction interaction between Petal Dance and Giga Drain. It is focused on sustaining Venusaur with HP recovery while consistently dealing damage with Standard Attacks. Start by getting close to the target and initiate with Giga Drain to get the damage reduction buff. Then, activate Petal Dance to get the cooldown reduction effect and spam your Giga Drain. Don't forget to spam Standard Attack in between Giga Drains to maximize your damage! |
Sludge Sniper Combo | |
---|---|
![]() |
|
This is a quick and easy, high-damage combo using Solar Beam. Start by using Sludge Bomb to slow down the enemy so you can hit them easier with a Solar Beam. Hitting the Sludge Bomb can be tough, if you don't think you can get a direct hit, try landing it where you think the enemy will want to walk to. |
Sniper Combo | |
---|---|
![]() |
|
This is Venusaur's highest damage combo possible. It is similar to the Sludge Sniper Combo, but uses Vensusaur's Unite Move as a finisher. Sludge Bomb will slow the enemy to help hit the Solar Beam and lower their Sp. Def, making it Deal more damage. After the moves hit, lob a Verdant Anger at the area and deal high amounts of damage. |

Burst-type Pokemon |
---|
How to Beat |
• These Pokemon are highly mobile, can stun and disrupt Venusaur from unleashing powerful attacks, so make sure that you're at a safe position first before attacking. • Dodge their disables as much as possible, and hit them with boosted attacks to keep them at place. You can also use Eject Button for extra mobility and disengaging from fights. • Use Verdant Anger to initiate fights or excute targets. |
Physical Damage Dealers |
---|
How to Beat |
• It's best to use Petal Dance and Giga Drain as your moveset to win against them. • Sustain through their attacks by spamming Giga Drain. • Interrupt their attacks and moves using your boosted attacks. • Use Verdant Anger either to initiate a fight or to secure a kill. |
Pokemon with High HP |
---|
How to Beat |
• Kite these enemies with standard attacks and Petal Dance while spamming Giga Drain. • If you chose Solar Beam, it's best to partner it up with Sludge Bomb for an easy setup. • Since these Pokemon are more likely to defend and assist their allies, catch as many opponents inside Petal Dance and Giga Drain for a faster cooldown reduction and better healing. If you're using Solar Beam, get a good angle to blast as many targets as you can. |
Venusaur can easily take down these Pokemon regardless of its moveset choice.
Burst-type Pokemon |

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. | |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
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. | |
![]() |
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. |
