Pokemon GO: Best Moveset for Victreebel
Victreebel is a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon that evolves from Weepinbell. It is the final evolution of Bellsprout. When choosing this Pokemon in battle, keep in mind that Victreebel is vulnerable to Flying, Fire, Psychic, and Ice-types. Even when equipping Victreebel with the best possible moveset, it is generally recommended to avoid using this Pokemon against these types.
As for the types that Victreebel is particularly powerful against, this includes Fighting, Electric, Water, Fairy, and Grass-types. Anytime you're up against a Pokemon that falls under one of these types, such as the popular Gyarados or Blastoise, it's a good time to bring in Victreebell. Another thing to note to increase Victreebell's damage output is its weather boosts. You'll see an increase in damage from Victreebel whenever it is sunny or cloudy.
With all of this in mind, here are the best moves to give to your Victreebel to take on raids or PvP battles:

Razor Leaf |
Razor Leaf will serve as Victreebel's Quick move. Of Victreebel's Quick moves, it receives the best buff from weather boosts and uses less energy. Leaf Blade will be Victreebel's Charged move. This move has fantastic damage, uses less energy than a move like Solar Beam, and is effective against a number of types. You can also substitute Leaf Blade for Sludge Bomb if you want to have a Poison move for your Victreebel. It deals a bit more damage than Leaf Blade, but requires more energy. |

Razor Leaf |
With PvE battles, it's best to stick to an all-Grass build. This will make your Victreebel particularly powerful against Water and Rock-type enemies. However, if you want to create a Victreebel build that is more useful in terms of defense, you can go for a Poison build with Acid and Sludge Bomb. These moves are much faster, so Victreebel will be able to survive for longer. |

Can Victreebel be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
Many Pokemon in Pokemon GO have the chance to be caught in a shiny form. Although the potential to get a Pokemon in its shiny form is incredibly rare, there is a small possibility of encountering a shiny Victreebel. However, the chances of getting a Shiny Victreebel are not high, and it is not guaranteed. To increase your chances, you can often find shiny versions by defeating Victreebel in raids. The more times you defeat Victreebel, the higher possibility you'll have of encountering its shiny form.
