Venomoth is quite an interesting pokemon, it is a bit on the weak side, but none the less usable. With a max of 306 in both Speed and Sp att, it can be a little limited, so you will most likely be depending on a choice item. Venomoth is mostly used in NU tier, but is still usable for UU, and can still get the job done. I do not suggest running one in OU, there are far superior pokemon than Venomoth. With all the negatives aside, let's talk about my personal experience. I used a choice specs Venomoth, allowing it to pack quite a punch especially with Tinted Lens. With a some what decent move pool, it can hit quite a few types. It is often out sped though, because let's face it, 305 isn't exactly the best. I have seen quite a few people use Venomoth as a toxic spiker, with sleep powder, but its too risky in my opinion.
