Competitive Sets

Offensive Pivot

Item: Eviolite
Ability: Chlorophyll
Nature: Modest
EVs: 36 HP / 236 SpA / 236 Spe
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
- Synthesis

Bulbasaur's main set in LC. Giga Drain provides STAB and recovery, Sludge Bomb hits Fairy-types, Sleep Powder cripples switch-ins, and Synthesis gives reliable recovery. Eviolite makes it surprisingly bulky.

Sun Sweeper

Item: Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
Nature: Timid
EVs: 36 HP / 236 SpA / 236 Spe
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb

Under sun, Chlorophyll doubles Bulbasaur's Speed. Leaf Storm hits extremely hard with Life Orb, HP Fire covers Steel-types that resist both STABs. Best used on dedicated sun teams with Vulpix support.
