USUM Victreebel Best Moveset
Doubled Speed through AbilityChlorophyll in sun turns 70 base Speed into one of the fastest attackers on the field. 105 Attack and 100 Sp. Atk let the moveset hit from both sides with Grass/Poison TermStab, and MoveSleep Powder puts targets down. Without sun support, the moveset acts too slowly to threaten.

The natural movepool does the job, but Acid Spray and Belch from the egg pool give Victreebel something extra. Pair those with Leaf Storm and Solar Beam for STAB and Normal and Bug coverage for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

Victreebel Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Life Orb is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 special attacker with base 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Sludge Bomb, Weatherball, Solarbeam, and Sleep Powder 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.
