Which grass type starter has the best movepool?

Power wise. And if comparing a couple can you put a moveset? Many Thanks.

Sceptile has more moves, but I listed the ones that you would actually consider using in competitive battle.

Essentially, Sceptile’s physical movepool covers all of its weaknesses. Rock Slide covers Flying, Bug, Ice and Fire, Earthquake covers Poison, but also Steel which its STAB grass is x1/2 against. Leaf Blade for consistent STAB.

Physical setSceptile @ Life OrbAbility: OvergrowEVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HPNature: Jolly- Swords Dance- Leaf Blade- Rock Slide- Drain Punch/ Earthquake

Mixed setSceptile @ Life OrbAbility: OvergrowEVs: 180 Atk, 72 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HPNature: Hasty- Lead Storm- Rock Slide- Earthquake- Drain Punch/ Leaf Blade

Sceptile’s special movepool isn’t that great, so mixed set is my advice if you want to use Leaf Storm.

Also Unburden as an ability would be nice, but as its not released yet for Sceptile, we’ll have to do with Overgrow.

Downside: Sceptile is not suitable for taking hits, with base 70/65/85 in its defences. You’d have to time your switch-in well in order to allow it to set up swords dance safely.

I’d say Venusaur. It’s OU for a reason. It’s mainly a bulky sweeper, but can run a variety of sets.
