Now that you know which Pokemon to use, let’s discuss Mega Victreebel’s attacks.

The first attack is Bullet Seed, where it throws seed projectiles at you. The speed is slow, so you can easily dodge by moving sideways, then attack in return.

The second attack is Vine Whip. Victreebel lashes a vine when you get close, dealing massive damage. Always maintain a safe distance. Before it launches Vine Whip, it stretches slightly so use this visual clue to move away beforehand.

Lastly, it uses Poison Puddles, throwing poison onto the ground. The poison moves slowly, so you can anticipate where it will land. Avoid standing in the impact zone or walking over the puddle.

When attacking Victreebel, use openings. For example, after it launches Vine Whip or Poison Puddle, immediately command your Pokemon to attack.

Do not use plus attacks; instead, focus on collecting Mega Power Orbs to fill your Mega Meter. Once full, you can Mega Evolve Camerupt, signifiacntly increasing its damage. Keep collecting Mega Power Orbs to keep the meter filled, or Camerupt will return back to normal.

If your Pokemon steps into Poison Puddles, immediately use a Poison Potion. Use a Super Potion if its HP is low, and a Revive Potion if it gets defeated.

Following these strategies, you can easily defeat Rogue Mega Victreebel in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
