Moveset

Tackle Neutral Power 12 Energy 1 Cheap hit. Use it to bank energy for a Burst.
Vine Lash Grass Power 16 Energy 2 Fast elemental poke. Good when you need pressure without spending too much.
Leaf Blade Grass Power 24 Energy 3 Reliable STAB damage. Costs more than you regen, so not every turn.
Petal Storm Grass Power 32 Energy 4 Heavy mid-cost attack. Stronger than Strike, but not perfectly accurate.
Solar Beam Grass Power 44 Energy 5 Heavy spike. Charge energy to afford it; can miss (85%).
