    Venusaur's 80 base speed and extra bulk can make quite a bit of difference mind you. However, with access to Weather Ball, this means you can leave an open slot for a Hidden Power of your choice as opposed to Venusaur (hmm... Hidden Power Ground/Rock or something comes into mind to deal with Fires), although Victreebel does get priority in the form of Sucker Punch (Platinum/HGSS move tutors). It really depends on the OP's preferences really. I've used Victreebel tons of times even before Gen V and found it very useful... but it found very little time to set up. And unfortunately for either of the two, rain speeds up some rain abusers so neither Venusaur nor Victreebel like taking Ice Beams or Ice Punches from their water opponent (without STAB or any other boost it won't KO, but still... hurts!) As for Weather Ball... base 150 Fire attack against opponent Grassers or Steels = profit... so take your pick. Growth raising both attack stats + 2 in the sun is like Shell Smash without the speed boost (but speed is provided by the sun, so no worries)... and no defense penalty, so if you get the chance to set up... great! Just watch out for other weather set uppers, of course. I will have to agree about the Solarbeam part with Sabeta... which can mess up if you fire Solarbeams too liberally, so be careful of that. I'd say Substitute or something can help, but that's another turn wasted. They bring a Cloud Niner/Rayquaza... yeah... another screw up (not to mention Rayquaza can set up that turn with impunity and take the incoming Solarbeam like a champ... but then again Rayquaza will most likely get banned). Or worse... they bring a Tyranitar with its bloated special defense in the sand and try to bring in their Landorosu (that troll Raijin leader with Sand Throw ability) or that broken Mole with their sand combo, taking advantage of your liberal Solarbeams and sweeping through your team no problem. Just saying to be careful there. But honestly, I prefer Energy Ball/Grass Knot usually as it does not really have that penalty and is usually enough to OHKO those who are weak to Grass (though Swampert lives non STABd versions).

    Venusaur and Victreebel somewhat overlap in roles though... Venusaur is faster and bulkier and even has the same SpA as Victreebel but is weaker physically and does not learn Weather Ball. Just keep Venusaur in if he is your style, as he is also capable of running mixed sets.

    Moltres... I love her to death! Make her emotion... I don't know... anger? Arduous worker? Blah you think of something... Venusaur was able to go physical since Gen I, actually... thanks to Swords Dance. Just that limited movepool hampered it... as it got EQ in Gen III (what?!) and relied on Sludge Bomb as physical STAB for that moment. Now it has the more useful Power Whip (albeit 80% accurate) which gets even stronger at Overgrow (forgot about that, did you?). But you know... the physical Venusaur pandemic can come to your advantage if you get yourself a physical wall. I still say Steelix is awesome (you've seen me use that tons of times...) but its greatest weakness is it cannot do anything against Venusaur or most other opponents (maybe aside from roaring them out). Yeah, my Moltres suggestion still stands. Though too overused in the underused environment... I care not. Still one of my favorite birds... and I'm sure it is yours too... but just don't scarf it... you have too many Choicers in your team... Now that leaves you open to bulky waters... great.

    Well... here's a little bit from that Venusaur "sweep"... The thing is... Venusaur is unpredictable. You successfully burned Venusaur, but it still managed to completely decimate an otherwise unprepared team. Maybe because I KOd your revenger (Primeape) way too early, I took that chance and tore most of your team members into pieces. Venusaur won't always turn physical, granted. Registeel can "wall" it, but Venusaur will turn it into a set up fodder and SD up and eventually OHKO it with Earthquake when it is boosted up. Special versions I don't think you would have problems with, or even status platforms/subseeders/etc... I could say Steelix can somewhat wall that Venusaur, but it cannot do much to it other than Roar it out and whatnot. All I have to say is watch out for it... but if you have a fast psychic like Alakazam, I think it's a great way to revenge it. Blaziken can also beat it... but at worst you will speed tie with it (and say Venusaur goes first and Earthquakes the poor chicken...). Meganium can wall the physical ones I suppose... but it's going to be a set up fodder as Meganium can't do anything to it. Or... how about your favorite Moltres? 4x resistant to Grass, immune to Ground, and can OHKO the plant like barbecue! Granted, you should scout for what set Venusaur holds, because it can do many things
