Venusaur Moveset
Finally evolved my first venusaur and got razor leaf/petal blizzard. I always thought solar beam was the preferred charge move but I noticed petal blizzard has better DPS and shorter cooldown than solar beam, which leads me to ask in what way(s) is solar beam better than petal blizzard?
Answers
I don't quite agree. The OP shouldn''t power it up because at best it will be a subpar grass attacker. If there is a need for a grass attacker then it's better to find one with SoB.
The best use is to leave it at a certain CP range for prestiging. Nothing is worth powering up to a high level except the good defenders anyway.
Petal Blizzard was a great move when it cost only 50 energy. But at the same energy cost as Solar Beam, then it is not as good a deal.
"I noticed petal blizzard has better DPS and shorter cooldown than solar beam"
Those two things together are only good if the actual damage is comparable or the DPS is a lot higher. Sure the time is only 53% as long, but it also only deals 61% as much damage. If Petal Blizzard still cost only 50 energy, that would be amazing. At 100 energy though ... meh.
