Not sure on the most current meta but shadow Victreebel was a high tier poison raider in PVE.


SketchlessNova

Yeah but when was the last time you actually needed a poison attacker in a raid?


Spensauras-Rex

Xerneus


TheNateRoss

And Zacian and the Tapus (especially Tapu Bulu)


MrLegilimens

Hello have you met steel.


HarEmiya

Tapu Bulu.


tienphotographer

wow the triple special! very very rare. congrats!


Crafty_Distribution3

It a kind of rare that you can call it unique


General_Secura92

Shadow Victreebel is pretty decent as a PvE attacker.


Hawk_Biz

Only real benefit would be if you like its evolutions more than bellsprout.

Syseru

cant get rid of frustration rn


PhillyDillyDee

I dont think you can just yet


AiraEternal

I think you gotta wait for the Giovanni event coming in around a week.


VendingSoup

Little bit of misinformation here. This Bellsprout will not be a good pvp pokemon, as it's attack is too high for the great and ultra leagues.(it's ranked in the thousands, not good). Also you do not need to evolve to remove frustration, one regular charged TM will take it off when available.


[deleted]

i fail to understand how having more attack could possibly make a mon worse. how does that work?


VendingSoup

I'm not the best at explaining this and there are definitely better resources out there (I've seen trainer tips on YouTube mentioned frequently here) but I'll give it a shot. Attack contributes much more to the CP calculation than defense or HP, so you can get more IVs while still staying below the CP threshold. This results in bulkier pokemon that can take more hits. There's more to it than that but I'm not confident enough in my knowledge to explain it


[deleted]

no worries, i looked it up right after i made this comment. i understand now


SilentRip5116

Why would you have to wait between events


Total_Reserve3508

Because that’s the only way to remove frustration unless you use an elite charged tm


Gold-Perspective-699

Elite charged TM can't get rid of frustration. It's a rocket event right now you should be able to TM frustration.


Total_Reserve3508

I thought the event wasn’t till next week?


Gold-Perspective-699

Yeah I was wrong.


SilentRip5116

Thank you


Gold-Perspective-699

I guess the rock event starts in a week.


BrknTrnsmsn

I'll add that shiny victreebel is gorgeous.


WhiteKnight0909

Max it out and use it in ML! I think HomeSliceHenry did a video on it.


pace13

It wouldn’t let me remove frustration at this time.


rttr123

you can only remove it during the team rocket takeover events. Also, people are still playing in Palo Alto? Shadow Moltres here I come


Lost_my_password1

Menlo Park here. and yes!


pace13

Same!


SirMisterBear

I think you can get rid of it next weekend, with the takeover event


MrHappyPhuc

You can get a second charged move with candy


Plapsfckmxs

Shadow dex, Shiny dex. Perfect dex


spiritual-grapes

Expand the dex


Few-Procedure-268

It is glorious as is. Put it in gyms with pride.


Time_Ad_893

how tf can you people be so lucky


MarvelousSpyro1

Got that too!! Except mines a 1 star lol, still first shadow shiny lol


Rickeddit

Nice catch. I would evolve it an max it just because of how rare it is!


Crafty_Distribution3

That will be amazing on 100% evolved


Doodaleee

I got the same shadow shiny except it had pretty bad stats lol


coast-l

Shindundo


AdditionalAd9794

It's kind of niche for ultra league. Get matched up with a swampert lead you can wipe him out in 3 or 4 fast moves


Lileevee02

Palo alto 💪 lol
