Is Magical Leaf Victreebel worth it in Pokemon GO?
Evolving Weepinbell during the Pokemon GO Bellsprout Community Day or up to five hours after will give you a Victreebel that knows the Fast Attack Magical Leaf.
Magical Leaf Victreebel in Pokemon GO PvP
In PvP battles, Magical Leaf is a three-turn Grass-type Fast Attack that inflicts 3.33 DPT (3.996 including STAB) and generates the same amount of energy. Until now, Victreebel's best Fast Attack was Razor Leaf, which allowed the critter to deal massive amounts of damage, especially in coordination with Acid Spray. This made it a terror to deal with in the endgame in the Great League of GBL.
With Magical Leaf, the non-shadow Victreebel sees more wins in the 1-1, 0-0, 1-0, and 2-1 shield situations, thanks to the much faster energy generation of this move. Shadow Victreeble, however, still benefits from Razor Leaf in most situations. That said, the Magical Leaf variant can have play depending on your team.
Magical Leaf Victreebel in Pokemon GO PvE
In PvE battles also, Victreebel with Magical Leaf slightly outdoes the Razor Leaf variant. This is thanks to the former's substantially higher energy generation capabilities. Victreebel has a high Attack stat, which shines the brightest when the critter can dish out as many Leaf Blades as possible.
