Example Set
Physical Tank @ Black Sludge
252 HP / 164 Def / 92 Spe
Overgrow/Chlorophyll, Bold
- Grass Knot / Energy Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
- Synthesis

Explanation of Set
This set is a good multitasking variant of Venusaur. This one allows Venusaur to hit hard, as well as use support options like Sleep Powder, while tanking with Synthesis.

Example Set
Physical Attacker @ Black Sludge / Life Orb
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Overgrow/Chlorophyll, Jolly
- Swords Dance
- Power Whip / Seed Bomb
- Earthquake / Return
- Sleep Powder

Explanation of Set
Switch Venusaur in on a weak hit - then as your opponent switches out, Sleep Powder their switch in - and get Swords Dance up. After a Swords Dance, Venusaur becomes a whirling fury of vines and other plant matter - capable of denting most Pokemon easily. Earthquake hits Steels, which are likely to try to switch in on Venusaur's sweep, while Return hits Flying and Grass (like Leafeon).

Example Set
Special Attacker @ Life Orb
252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 Spe
Overgrow/Chlorophyll, Timid
- Leaf Storm / Energy Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power Fire / Synthesis
- Sleep Powder

Explanation of Set
This set is a great Special Attacker - capable of hitting all enemies for high damage. Hidden Power Fire is for Steels who don't care about your Sludge Bomb / Energy Ball - but it can be swapped for Synthesis for more survivability. Sleep Powder is Sleep Powder. Use it to force switches, or buy time for Synthesis.
