Mid-stage Pokemon like Oddish rarely see competitive play outside of special formats. It's a waypoint on the road to Vileplume, which is where the real potential kicks in. Only weak to Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic. Known as the Weed Pokemon.

Sp. Atk and Sp. Def carry most of Oddish's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Easy to catch and yields 1 Sp. Atk EV. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.

  • Oddish is meant to evolve into Gloom. At 320 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • Watch for Arcanine (Fire), Lapras (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Oddish. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic-type attackers are also a problem. At base 30 Speed, Oddish won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Oddish evolves into Gloom at level 21. Oddish is the base form in a 4-stage evolutionary line.

  • Chlorophyll is what you want on Oddish. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Run Away) work on paper but Chlorophyll is what makes Oddish worth using.

  • Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Oddish is a special attacker with base 75 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

  • Oddish appears in 21 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

One of the original 151, Oddish has appeared in 21 games — nearly every mainline game. From Red & Blue through the latest titles, it's rarely been left out of a regional Pokedex.
