[Vileplume is in an interesting position. Like many other grass types, it received a nice buff with Drought Ninetales, bearing Chlorophyll. However, as you can see by looking at the moveset, this is not a sun sweeper, but more of an old school stall/utility Pokemon. If you played NU in 4th Generation you might have some experience with this type of set. Sleep Powder and Leech Seed form the core of the set, Sleep being an incredibly powerful mechanic, and Leech Seed being perfect for a tanky Pokemon such as this, will suffice quite well in lower tier play. The set lacks Special Attack investment, however either Hidden Power, and Giga Drain can do some heavy damage when super effective. Of course, you can also tweak the EVs to add some offensive power, or speed. Finally, Aromatherapy is a very useful move that will heal all status from your team; just beware that your offensive options are limited if you select it.]
