Vileplume
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Vileplume is a grass/poison-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 490 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 50) and a special attacking profile. Its Chlorophyll 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 Vileplume. Build around what Vileplume 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.
