Is Vileplume good in Pokemon GO PvE?

In the early days of the game, when there weren’t as many Grass-type creatures easily available, Vileplume was a fan favorite. But as time passed and Niantic introduced newer and better Grass-type creatures, Vileplume was swept under the carpet.

The likes of Sceptile dominate the Grass-type class of creatures currently. So, unless you are looking for a cheap and decent Grass-type attacker, Vileplume has seen better days.

Is Vileplume good in Pokemon GO PvP?

Vileplume is not a great attacker in the GO Battle League. However, if you are low on Stardust, you might want to use this as a budget alternative. This critter resists Fighting-type Pokemon, making it a good counter against pesky Medichams that run wild in the Great League.

Vileplume will also be useful against other Counter users like Machamp. Since it has access to Moonblast, Vileplume is a direct threat to all Dark and Dragon-type critters.

Vileplume is decent in itself, but as you climb higher up the ladder in ranked matches, you will find that this critter needs to be replaced.
