Frenzy Plant stats are as follows:
- Trainer Battles: 100 Power
- Gyms and raids: 100 Power
Frenzy Plant is Venusaur’s best move charged move, especially when paired with Vine Whip Grass. Frenzy Plant’s fast activation cycle, lower Energy requirement and total damage output make it superior to Solar Beam:
Frenzy Plant is also invaluable in Trainer Battles, where it outperforms every other move Venusaur can have by a mile. In order to successfully run a Venusaur in the Great League, Frenzy Plant is a must.
