Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Mega Victreebel in Pokemon GO?
Mega Victreebel's best moveset is Magical Leaf (fast) and Solar Beam (charged), providing 16.1 DPS as a Grass-type attacker. This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Mega Victreebel's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Mega Victreebel is weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Mega Victreebel resists Grass, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Mega Victreebel effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Mega Victreebel's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Mega Victreebel's maximum CP is 3,963 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 3,505 at level 40.

Mega Victreebel's CP is calculated from its base stats: 265 Attack, 181 Defense, and 190 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully.

If you catch a perfect IV Mega Victreebel, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Mega Victreebel ranks well in raids or PvP.
