Venusaur good now with Frenzy Plant?

Now that Venusaur has FP, how does it compare with, say, Exeggutor and Sceptile in terms of DPS?

I highly doubt Venusaur is now better than Exeggutor but is the differential now slight or significant?

Against Golem (the only raid boss worthwhile checking on), VW/FP outperforms both Sceptile (BS/LB) and Exeggutor (BS/SB) at lvl 30 and 40 but loses against both at 35 according to Pokebattler (DPS, averaged out for all movesets). The differences are, however, not at all that big.

So theyre all viable now. That's the best we could have hoped for.
I kinda want a Sceptile with FC/FP now!

against golem you would have to consider kyogre and other water types but a FP Venusaur should definitly be in the team of 6

Ofcourse. If you're looking at top counters for a Golem fight, you'll first and foremost take Kyogre (probably any that it at most 10 levels lower than Venusaur). After that, Gyarados is actually quite close to the grass types mentioned so all in all Venusaur with VW/FP is in the top for Golem raids (and others with a double grass weakness).

At level 40 FP Venusaur considerably better against a double ground Swampert tier 4 raid boss (clear weather). Seems FP Venusaur makes a big jump from 35 to 40...at 35 Sceptile, Exeggutor, and Venusaur seem interchangeable in battle after battle.

Venusaur is good already with SoB and since Frenzy Plant seems ridiculously strong... turns out Venusaur's preeeetty gooood!
