— Poison Moth Pokémon
Venomoth
MetaMons competitive notes
Venomoth is a bug/poison-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 450 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 90) and a special attacking profile. Its Shield Dust ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Venomoth. Build around what Venomoth actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
