Is Frenzy Plant Decidueye worth it in Pokemon GO?

Frenzy Plant Decidueye in PvP

For new Pokemon GO players, Frenzy Plant is a 100 base damage Charged Move that costs only 45 energy and comes without any self-debuffs. Since only Grass-type starters can learn this attack, the base damage is effectively 120, making the damage per energy (DPE) close to 3. This outclasses Energy Ball, Decidueye's only other Grass-type Charged Move option by a large margin.

In most situations, Frenzy Plant Decidueye is still outclassed by Trevenant, but if you don't have a version of the spooky plant from Gen VI in your team, the Rowlet Community Day is a great opportunity for you to add a strong Grass and Ghost-type to your team.

Compared to other Frenzy Plant users, though, Decidueye fails to make the mark, as it is outclassed by one or more Grass-type starters in the Lead, Switch, and Closer roles.

Frenzy Plant Decidueye in PvE

Not only is this move good in PvP battles, but with the exclusive move from Rowlet Community Day, Decidueye becomes much better as a raid and Gym Attacker in Pokemon GO.

It can go head-to-head with most other starter Pokemon in terms of damage output with Frenzy Plant in play. However, the existence of Shadow forms (Shadow Sceptile, Shadow Venusaur, etc.), Mega Evolutions (Mega Sceptile, Mega Venusaur, etc.), and Legendary Pocket Monsters (Kartana, Zarude, and Shaymin), prevent Decidueye from emerging as a top-tier Grass-type attacker, even with Frenzy Plant.

Is Pokemon GO Rowlet Community Day worth playing from a PvP and PvE perspective?

All things considered, Decidueye is a decent back-end pick if you are looking for a Grass-type attacker. As long as you build a strong team around it, it can perform respectably in both PvP and PvE settings. Therefore, you should definitely spend time catching the Grass Quill Pokemon during Rowlet Community Day on January 6, 2023.
