What is a good competitive moveset for Venipede? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Black/White Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Black/White generation metagame.
Venipede is a stupendous Bug and Poison-typed Pokemon. Venipede is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield. Venipede can be quite a contender in the LC tier (Little Cup). Venipede is weak to Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Rock-typed attacks.
Venipede is a pretty decent Physical Sweeper. This moveset attempts to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Venipede is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield without an Eviolite attached to it. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. Focus Sash helps protect Venipede from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Flame Orb will burn Venipede at the end of the turn which will activate Venipede's Quick Feet ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Quick Feet, if Venipede is statused its speed is 1.5x; ignores speed drop from paralysis. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Quick Feet to seriously give Venipede a sweet boost.
♦ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Venipede is burn/poison/paralyzed). ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil). ♦ Poison Jab is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target). ♦ Poison Tail is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Poison-type move (high critical hit ratio. 10% chance to poison). ♦ Steamroller is a physical STAB-boosted 65-base power Bug-type move (30% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Bug Bite is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Bug-type move (Venipede steals and eats the target's berry). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Venipede this turn).
