ROUND 1
      Hp and Retreat

Well,dead even here,hp is at a simi heavy 80 hp,could
be better for both,but is pretty high.as for
retreat,this is pretty low for a stage 2.
       TIE
Round 2
   Attacks
Here we go,lets start with there poke powers,
victreebells poke power is for one simple reason,to
attack weak pokemon,your opponent just bring out an
oddish or a pikachu? use fragrence trap to flush in a
quick snack=). as for vileplumes,it's poke power is a
little more stall/defence oriented,which is good when
tring to build up or re group.
now for ther attacks. Plain and smiple,victreebells
attack is just plain wicked,for 3 grass energy your
can do 50 damage,which combined with a few Plus powers
can kill a good chunk of the basic pokemon waiting to
evolve but hiding behind that nasty scyther=)Now,with
vileplume,this is where things get interesting,mega
drain is pretty good,also if combined with a few PP's
u can heal a good chunk off your self while dealing
some decent damage.But,in this case,i got to go with
vileplume the poke power combo'ed with it's attack is
a good stall.

 Winner ,Vileplume

Round 3
   Evolutionary lines

here is where the fight changes sides,victrebells
evolution is a very good status effecter,with the
level 30 weepinbell is very good to stall with it's
sleep poison attack,bellsprout is not actaully to
bad,it just depends which 1 u use . vileplumes evolve
line is much weaker,after oddish,gloom is just to weak
and takes to long to build up,even though it's healing
pollen can keep it out there for a bit.
Winner
Victrebell
Well,as u can see,these cards are very even,it really
depends on the type of player you are that decides
which of these awsome new grass pokemon you use,but,if
you are just looking for an easy answer victrebell is
the better attacker while vileplume is  a great grass
staller.
