BEEDRILL Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Swords Dance Twineedle Hyper Beam AgilityReflect Move Effect Type Pwr Acc Swords Dance Raises the user's Attack by 2 stages. Normal N/A N/A Twineedle Strikes twice; if the first hit breaks the target's Substitute, the real Pokemon will take damage from the second hit. Has a ~20% chance to poison the target . Bug 25 100% Hyper Beam In Stadium, the user becomes uncontrollable during its next turn. Otherwise, the user attacks on turn one but it doesn't recharge on turn two if it KOs the target, breaks its Substitute or misses entirely. Normal 150 90% Agility Raises the user's Speed by 2 stages. Psychic N/A N/A Reflect The user receives 1/2 damage from Physical attacks until it switches out or either Pokemon uses Haze. Psychic N/A N/A           Other Options: It can try to Mega Drain Rhydon/Golem/Onix before getting Rock Slided into oblivion. Verdict: Well, if Buttefree isn't that great in RBY, Beedrill goes out there and sucks things up massively for sure. On the plus side, Beedrill is the exclusive holder of the Twineedle attack, but other than that, it's simply too slow, fragile and bogged down by its Poison-typing to cause any trouble. Swords Dance/Agility is not even a good combination because critical hits ignore stat boosts in RBY, but Beedrill really needs any Speed/Attack boost it can get. Beedrill's cool, but unfortunately bad.
