In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 525, Venusaur plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Special Attack at 100, while HP (80) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Grass, Poison combination gives Venusaur 5 resistances and 4 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Venusaur a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +2, Special Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
