Legends: Z-A Weepinbell Best Moveset

Weepinbell hasn't fully evolved, but Eviolite's 50% bulk boost makes it viable anyway. Impish nature with spread EVs shapes the defensive spread, and Chlorophyll adds utility.

Moves

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Weepinbell picks up Sludge Wave and Power Whip along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Bug and Dark coverage, but the foundation's already strong by then.

Weepinbell Guide

  • Weepinbell is meant to evolve into Victreebel. At 390 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Weepinbell's biggest threats include Charizard (Fire), Cloyster (Ice), and Dodrio (Flying), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Psychic-type attackers are also a problem.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Bellsprout evolves into Weepinbell at level 21. Weepinbell evolves into Victreebel using a Leaf Stone. Weepinbell is a middle-stage evolution in the Bellsprout line.

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

  • At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Weepinbell is a mixed attacker with base 90 Attack and 85 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile, can't afford to take many hits.

Game Availability

One of the original 151, Weepinbell has appeared in 20 games — most mainline games. From Red & Blue through the latest titles, it's rarely been left out of a regional Pokedex.
