Venusaur makes a great partner for SD Diggersby, resisting Mach punch and Aqua jet and not taking much from ice shard thanks to thick fat, which would all otherwise out-prioritise Diggersby. Sludge bomb beats Clefable and Altaria and grass types such as Breloom and Azumarill, HP fire beats Scizor, ferrothorn and skarmory, giga drain beats waters such as Azumarill and Keldeo, all Pokemon which Diggersby struggles with. In return, Diggersby handles VoltTurn, fire types such as Heatran, special walls such as Chansey, which Venusaur struggles with.
