With Gluttony, when Pansage has 1/2 or less of its maximum hp it uses certain berries early. Low Sweep was added to provide additional threat coverage.
♦ Vine Whip is a physical STAB-boosted 35-base power Grass-type move that deals damage.
♦ Low Sweep is a physical 60-base power Fighting-type move (100% chance to lower the target's speed by 1 stage).
♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
