Offensive Moves Explanation

Razor Leaf paired with Solar Beam makes Vileplume’s best attacking moveset.
Solar Beam is frequently superior to Petal Blizzard due to its massive base power.
Acid and Moonblast have no place on an offensive Vileplume.

Defensive Moves Explanation

Acid is superior to Razor Leaf. While it has lower power, too many Pokemon pack double resistance to Grass.
While all of Vileplume’s charge moves are poor on defense, Petal Blizzard stands out by having an early damage window.

Rating Explanation

Vileplume’s advantage lies in that it is among the most easily obtained Grass-type Pokemon. Once trainers start stocking up on Exeggutor, Sceptile, Venusaur, Victreebel, and Shiftry, Vileplume becomes yesterday’s news. It doesn’t look like much now, but it was the go-to Vaporeon slayer in the early days of Pokemon GO.

Speaking of the early days, back then it was also an okay defender, being the most easily obtained Vaporeon wall. These days you might want to use something else for defense. The meta just isn’t what it used to be. Ok, that’s enough GO analysis for grandpa.
