Pros and cons of both Meganium and Sunflora?

I was thinking of doing a Soulsilver playthrough, and wanted to use a lesser-used Grass type. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Meganium-

Pros–Good defenses-Wide/varied movepool-Starter (Starters are more likely to receive more attention, which eventually leads them to be overlevelled- if you have a level cap this might be a problem, though)-Well rounded stats-Learns a decent amount of HMs-Decent Speed

Cons–Meganium has the most weaknesses out of all the starters-Meganium also has the most disadvantages with the Gyms (normally this wouldn’t be a problem but it’s your starter, soooo…)

Sunflora

Pros–Good SpA-Variation between special and physical moves (this can be helpful in a nuzlocke if, say your Sunflora has an Adamant nature)

Cons–Horrible Speed-Poor Defense-Useless Abilities (both of its Abilities are based on sunlight, don’t waste a move spot on Sunny Day- and I highly doubt you’ll find a Hidden Ability one)-Pretty difficult to evolve (You can only find the Sun Stone by winning a Bug Catching Contest or buying it in Pokeathlon Dome. You can also find it on Route 13 in Kanto. You want to evolve Sunkern as quickly as possible- it’s weak enough to be infamous for it)

With all that said, you should probably pick Meganium. I normally wouldn’t be too picky, but Sunkern is extremely weak unless you overlevel it like crazy. It could seriously affect your nuzlocke.

Hope I helped :)
