Okay, so I’ve been playing a LOT of Pokemon Go lately, trying to really get my team in top shape. I decided to focus on my Vileplume, because, well, I just like the flower-power vibe! But figuring out the best moveset? That took some serious digging and experimenting.
My Quest for the Perfect Vileplume
First, I looked at a bunch of different websites, but honestly, it was all a bit overwhelming. Lots of stats, lots of opinions… So, I decided to just go with my gut and try things out myself. I had a few Vileplumes with various moves, and I started battling. A lot.

I started with Gym battles, just throwing my Vileplume against whatever was there. I quickly realized some moves were just plain bad. Like, they’d charge up super slow, or do barely any damage. No good!
- First, I tested a Vileplume with Razor Leaf and Petal Blizzard. It felt okay-ish, but nothing special.
- Then, I had another with Acid and Sludge Bomb. This was surprisingly effective against certain types, but felt weaker overall.
- My friend recommended a Vileplume which had the moves Razor Leaf and Moonblast and told me that this is best.
The “A-Ha!” Moment
After tons of battles, and switching moves around using TMs (those things are lifesavers!), I finally landed on a combination that felt amazing:
Razor Leaf as the fast move, and Moonblast as the charge move.
Razor Leaf just shreds through opponents so fast! It builds up energy super quick, which is key. And then, Moonblast? BOOM. It hits like a truck, and it’s super effective against a lot of common types I see in gyms and raids. And with the Fairy-type move, it will give a good coverage for dragons.
Why I Love This Moveset
This combination is my favorite for Vileplume now. It does great in raids and is really fun to use.
So, there you have it! That’s my journey to finding the best moveset for Vileplume in Pokemon Go. It might not be the “official” best according to some website, but it works like a charm for me, and that’s what matters! Remember, it’s all about experimenting and finding what works best for your playstyle.
