Best moveset for Venusaur in Pokémon Go

Venusaur is a tricky Pokémon.

Venusaur is one of the more highly sought-after Pokémon for players to use in Pokémon Go. You can expect to see it in the Great and Ultra League, capable of being a powerful defensive Pokémo, withstand various attacks. But you want to make sure its offense is as good as its defense, giving it the best attacks possible. This guide covers the best moveset for Venusaur in Pokémon Go.

Venusaur is a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon. It will be weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks, but it’s resistant to Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Grass, and Water-type moves. You can expect to use Venusaur as your leading Pokémon or as your final Pokémon when battling against other players.

These are all of the moves Venusaur can learn.

Fast moves

  • Razor Leaf (Grass-type) – 10 damage and 2 energy (5 damage per turn)
  • Vine Whip (Grass-type) – 5 damage and 4 energy (2.5 damage per turn)

Charged moves

  • Frenzy Plant (Grass-type) – 100 damage and 45 energy
  • Petal Blizzard (Grass-type) – 110 damage and 65 energy
  • Sludge Bomb (Poison-type) – 80 damage and 50 energy
  • Solar Beam (Grass-type) – 150 damage and 80 energy

There are not too many choices when it comes to picking Venusaur’s fast or charged moves, but there are specific ones you want to put on yours. When it comes to the fast move, we have to recommend vine whip. It’s a good attack that charges up Venusaur’s energy exceptionally fast, giving it access to its charged moves.

When it comes to charged moves, you have to go with frenzy plant and sludge bomb. Frenzy plant is the go-to option for any Grass-type and is among the best charged attacks you can teach them. Unfortunately, for Venusaur, it’s an exclusive move. Sludge bomb is a solid secondary option, making Venusaur useful against Fairy and other Grass-types.

The best moveset for Venusaur to learn in Pokémon Go is the fast move vine whip along with the charged moves frenzy plant and sludge bomb.
