      Fun fact! Victreebel is based on the pitchers plant called Nepenthes. Carnivine is based on the venus fly trap. Nepenthes are an Asian Vining carnivorous plant that can grow both in low light shade deep in the jungle and in high light, it just depends on the species.
      On your comment about carnivorous plants not being good at photosynthesis and thats why they adapted to eat bugs. That is simply not true, Carnivorous plants became carnivorous because their soil was lacking in nutrition, not due to lack of light. Carnivorous plants get their nutrition from eating bugs, but they still need to use photosynthesis to get energy from the sun.

      Overrated, Toxic isn't that great in Gen 1 because it turns to regular poison when they switch, while also making them immune to sleep and paralysis, which are far worse to get hit with. It works on the AI because it's lacking in the "I" department, but there's tons of ways to plow through in-game anyway.

    thought I was going crazy for a moment when I saw two uploads on the same day. Other than James' Victreebel, I honestly don't have much memory from this pokemon. Haven't finished watching the vid, but so far it seems pretty impressive in gen 1 from what was talked about.
    After watching the vid:
    Power creep, mechanic changes, and losing its bulk to special split were pretty bad roadblocks to it, but was still able find some interesting tools to utilize in almost every gen. I don't follow the competitive scene, but what could probably help out Victreebel would it to have its bulk be restored to how it was in gen 1 seeing how that has been a consistent issue with it post gen 1.

    Personally, I would have loved to see it get an alolan form that was a fire grass type which is actually super cool as it would only be weak to rock, flying, and poison types which may give it some better defensive potential, and it would give it a number of fire type attacks to benefit from such as fire blast, flame thrower, lava plume, and eruption. I'd say if this change happened it would be a monster under the sun with eruption hitting it like a truck when at full health also I'd make this version more defensive, and focus on its special attack rather at the cost of its normal attack

      Not that good? It was S- tier in 1997 and A tier in 1998 and is still OU in the Gen 1 Smogon format. Its Speed, Special, and access to Hypnosis makes it too valuable not to use, and it can easily bait an Earthquake or Psychic and switch into a wall.
