Very interesting Pokemon, eye-catching design [or should that be fly-catching ;)]. If enjoy the content, please leave a like, but if not that’s cool.
Grass type introduced in gen 4. Pretty stong physical attacker, but slow and mediocre bulk with a ton of competition. Power Whip and Knock Off are really nice moves and it does get SD, but too slow and not bulky to be very good. And its ability Levitate, though niche for a grass type, really doesn’t do much for it.
1.	Defog – really changes Carnivines potential role. Not the bulkiest, but strong and decent utility already in Synthesis and Sleep Powder. You’re likely to run some bulky due to its low speed meaning it’s not worth investing in. Strong offensive Defog set like
Max HP, Max Atk, Adamant, Power Whip/Knock Off/Defog/Synthesis
	Cool because it threatens and beats most Stealth Rockers due to its grass typing!
2.	Acid Spray – really interesting addition to Carnivines moveset. Always had a decent SpA stat without many attacks to abuse it. Acid Spray means Carnivine can be a stallbreaker, and Giga Drain means it will annoyingly stick around while recovering health. Not much other coverage, can run Sludge Bomb to beat grass types. Still struggle with steels, Leech Seed or Sleep might be a good final move, or if AV maybe Knock Off.
3.	Z-Moves – not too many, but Bloom Doom off Power Whip is nice and powerful, without that horrible shaky accuracy – really helps to break through pokemon and means you are less afraid of Knock Off. OR if you want something a little spicier, Z-Sleep Powder, SD, Power Whip & Knock Off. Still not v fast, but has a lot of power and is super fun. And if you don’t get a chance to set up +1 speed, you still have Bloom Doom from Power Whip.
What this mon really lacks is priority, specifically Sucker. It would be a perfect candidate, being a plant that disguises itself and waits for unknowing prey to come a little too close…
With SD, Knock & Power Whip, sucker would be the perfect final move to finish off a strong set up set. So still not amazing, but better than before with some really cool options.
