Which of these Butterfly/Moth Pokemon is best in terms of stats and moves?

1 minute read

By Butterfly/Moth Pokemon, I mean Butterfree, Beautifly, Dustox, Vivillion, and Mothim. I guess you can put them in order on how good they are.

Well, they’re all NU. If you want a Bug or a Flying type, there are better candidates.

I personally rank them in this order:

-Vivillon-Butterfree-Mothim-Dustox-Beautifly

They all have access to Quiver Dance, but Vivillon has access to Hurricane and Sleep Powder, which will be near 100% accurate with Compoundeyes. Butterfree is second because of Compoundeyes + Sleep Powder, which means a near perfect accuracy Sleep Power. Mothim next because it can run a Tinted Lens set, but is way too frail and doesn’t have Sleep Powder to set up. Then Dustox because it lacks any powder moves, but it’s got a half-decent typing. Then Beautifly last because it’s got crap abilities, stats and a subpar movepool, all on top of poor typing.

Mothim has the highest base stat total, but Vivillion has the best spread and the second highest BST. That’s in terms of Stats

1.Vivillion2.Mothim3.Butterfree4.Beuatifly-Dustox(Both suck)

In terms of Movepool

Overall, it seams Vilvillion is the best

In that case, don’t bother. They’re all horrible.

Except Butterfree and Vivillion’s capability to Sleep Powder and then Quiver Dance. The others have been useless to me, and all of these reside in NU except Vivillion who is to be determined.

I’m telling you, all of them < Volcarona, who is in OU and has quite impressive stats compared to those $#*%’s.

< = are inferior to

In my opinion Vivillion seems like the best option and I rank them in this order however the best option in stats is Mothim.

In terms of moves I’d say Viviillion and Mothim have a pretty good movepool.
