At the start, it has rubbish attacks & you got to beat an Onix! It learn stuff like Leech Seed which takes away a bit of health which isn't really that good.
What attacks does Bulbasaur learn at around level 12?
Pfft... an Onix' stat line isn't really all that great, one or two Vine Whips will be enough to defeat it. Also, Leech Seed and Sleep Powder are a perfect combination, so don't you dare say Leech Seed sucks >D
Of course it's hard to train a Pokémon with such limited PP on its moves, but it's definitely worth it in the Pokéleague or at the Battle Frontier if you trade it to Emerald.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Venusaur pwns, but sadly, most people just don't understand how to use it.
It's no surprise people don't like Venusaur, I mean, look at the movesets most people give it, they are something along the lines of:
- Solarbeam
- Razor Leaf
- Poison Powder
- Stun Spore
And that was one of the better Venusaur movesets I have seen, which really makes me sad ;-;
Charmander of course, charizard rules!
Yea, crappy defenses and a double weakness against Rock rule, not to mention it has a weakness against Water and Electric, too.
Venusaur and Blastoise are both way better than Charizard, imo, because unlike Charizard, they can deal serious damage, but also take a lot of damage themselves.
