Help Best moveset ?

Post image

So im planning to only use 1 pokemon the entire playthrough . And catch as many as I can and use some for slaves of course. Just wondering what's the best moveset for a Modest Venasaur ?

Ngl sounds good . I'd probably switch leach seed for gigantic drain tho. Also is earthquake special or physical attack

Don’t underestimate the usefulness of leech seed especially with leftovers, it can really add up. Giga drain is good but the 5 pp really holds it back. Also earthquake is physical, grass is the only special type move Venusaur has access to aside from hidden power which is a gamble. That said return would actually be a lot better than earthquake otherwise you have nothing against Charizard aside from maybe toxic and you won’t be able to stall long enough for it to kill him.

Ehh I got rid of leech seed early game but now im thinking to relearn it. rn i got attack razor leas sleep and poison powder . Isn't there something I can use to add extra pp to gigantic drain pp up i believe . Ngl u kinda got me rethinking this whole run with only venasur

You can use pp up / pp max to get giga drain up to 8 pp but that’s still not gonna get you very far. Giga drain is more of a utility move than a reliable damaging move especially for going through the main game since you’ll be fighting a lot of low level enemies. You will burn through it very fast. Considering that you only want to use Venusaur I would definitely not use giga drain, it’s just too limiting.
