Gigantamax Venusaur

Did you happen to notice that Attack stat? Yeah, Venusaur has never been a powerful damage-dealer on paper, and has always been boosted by Frenzy Plant as a means to boost its numbers. And while Gigantamax Venusaur doesn't really rely on Frenzy Plant, access to G-Max Vine Lash and a 0.5 second Fast Move in Vine Whip puts it head-and-shoulders above the majority of the competition in Dynamax battles. It's fallen off as an attacker in the presence of Gigantamax Rillaboom, but it still can do a lot of damage and can tank well. While its bulk is fairly on-par with Rillaboom, its Poison sub-typing gives it defensive niches, and it can pull duty as a tank or attacker pretty well.

• Vine Whip is the key to Gigantamax Venusaur's great power. It can quickly build up energy and allow everyone's favorite giant toad plant to act with defensive and offensive moves alike.

In PvP, Gigantamax Venusaur is effectively no different from a normal Venusaur, except without access to Return as a move option.
