Thank God I asked Blanche before sending her to the professor

Overall, your Bulbasaur is a wonder! What a breathtaking Pokemon!
I see that its best attribute is its HP.
It is equally matched by its Attack.
It is equally matched by its Defense.
Its stats exceed my calculations. It's incredible!

Is she worth 190 candy (have 413) and 75k stardust (have nearly 700k)? I already have two Venusaurs: a L30 89% with VW/Solar and a L27 84% with VW/PB. With Omastar no longer a raid boss, what are the current and future uses for Grass-types?

Yesterday, I also hatched a 98% Machop. Investing in him is a no-brainer. A good omen for Chinese New Year!

Yes, if you live somewhere with common Clear weather.

Overall, I feel that Exeggcutor is both superior and more readily available, though Vine Whip is a much better move than Bullet Seed.

It's definitely worth the candy. The Stardust is another issue, but if you have that much then I don't see the harm in powering a perfect Pokemon that you like with a decent niche.

Did you just assume your Pokemon's gender?

I love Venusaur but I think mine saw the pinnacle of their careers with Kyogre. I would if I didn't have a Metagross to power up right now...

I'd evolve it, but hold on the powering up (for now). Venusaur is decent but nothing special - even with a perfect IV. You might want to look into breakpoints and/or bulkpoints for your L30, 89% VW/SB Venusaur and check if there's anything it can't reach that the perfect will.

Definitely evolve her! (And power her up!).
I think Venusaur is one of the more useful and versatile attackers in the game.

I now have a perfect Venusaur with...RL/Solar!

The 98% Machop is now a Machamp with BP/DP.

Saving CTMs (have 5) is a big deal.

VW and RL are suited for different play styles. VW has higher EPS and is faster, while RL has higher DPS.

Both only a single fast TM away from their best movesets. Congrats!

Unless you already have two or more Machamps already powered up, it is definitely worth the dust now. I have three currently in my gym team. Use two quite a lot, sometimes miss some dodges and need the third.

Venusaur is probably not too critical right now. If you are hesitant about spending all the dust on it now, but still want to power it up, you could make it into more of a fun project. With Razor Leaf right now, you could occasionally drop it in gyms, then whenever it comes back to you, power it up once instead of using a revive.

I personally wouldn’t waste my dust on her when you can catch a L35 bulbasaur in the wild. I have a perfect Gyardos and Arcanine who will likely always stay at L20 and only be used as trophies.
