Thread: Venusaur vs Sceptile

I'm so torn!

While Venusaur is my favourite grass starter, Sceptile is a close second and would definitely win in a fight thanks to Flying Gem Acrobatics and superior speed! I can't choose. :P

Venusaur. It has the bro-factor!

Venusaur for me. It has an amazing design and it is part Poison-type.
Plus, Bulbasaur was my first starter ever and it is the Kanto starter to me.

Sceptile, on other hand, is a major disappointment.
It looks pretty lame compared to Grovyle, who is awesome and the lack of a secondary type hurts it a lot, imo.

Sceptile. While Torterra is my No. 1 choice, Sceptile really does its job well. It's fast, hits hard, and has an awesome design. Plus it has a diverse movepool, and a signature (or at least had) attack: Leaf Blade. In both games and anime, Sceptile really knows how to move and dish out the hurt. While it's as frail as a Christmas tree ornament, it still makes up for it with awesome speed and vicious attacks. While it probably won't be able to outdo Venasaur in terms of competitive play, but I'm not for competitive play, so I still think Sceptile wins. Besides, you don't see too many speedy Grass-types, so that's a nice perk. While I do prefer bulk and defenses, I'd still pick a Sceptile over Venasaur.
