B2W2 Victreebel Best Moveset
Sun doubles the 70 Speed to 140 through AbilityChlorophyll, outspeeding the entire format, and 105 Attack fires physical Grass TermStab into targets that can't outrun the boost. The moveset answers Water and Ground types in sun, but sun dependency and 70 Sp. Def leave it fragile to special hits.

Victreebel Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Victreebel looks average on paper at 490 BST. But Chlorophyll is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier attacker on our tier list. Sludge Bomb with Salacberry is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, watch for Arcanine (Fire), Lapras (Ice), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Victreebel. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic-type attackers are also a problem.
Victreebel gets Chlorophyll and Gluttony. But Chlorophyll is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Victreebel is a mixed attacker with base 105 Attack and 100 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 70 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.
In Black 2 & White 2, run Sludge Bomb, Leafblade, Clearsmog, and Swords Dance on Victreebel. Sludge Bomb is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
