A very underrated set, in my opinion. This set is absolutely brutal against types like rock, electric, and water. The concept is a very simple one; come in against a pokemon you can set up on, then proceed to set up more curses and sweep your opponents team. Once it gets enough boosts, taking it down with a physical attack will be extremely difficult, it can also take down some pokemon that it normally wouldn't if it has enough boosts.
+6 4 Atk Mega Venusaur Power Whip vs. 248 HP / 176+ Def Zapdos: 222-261 (57.9 - 68.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery.
And once Zapdos is down enough HP, you can proceed to play roost mindgames with earthquake.
+6 4 Atk Mega Venusaur Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 176+ Def Zapdos: 494-582 (128.9 - 151.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
It can also live a few moves as well if it gets a boost up or two.
252 Atk Victini V-create vs. +1 252 HP / 0 Def Thick Fat Mega Venusaur: 138-164 (37.9 - 45%) -- guaranteed 3HKO.
252 SpA Life Orb Latios Psyshock vs. +2 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 143-172 (39.2 - 47.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO.
252+ Atk Choice Band Dragonite Outrage vs. +2 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Venusaur: 138-163 (37.9 - 44.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO.
One of the main things stopping this thing is Skarmory, but, you can play roost mindgames with it as well.
+2 0 Atk Mega Venusaur Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 164-194 (49.1 - 58%) -- 64.5% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery.
