This set allows Butterfree to outspeed many Pokemon in UU and quickly cripple them with an accurate Sleep Powder or Stun Spore. This set functions best as a lead, since there is no need to worry about switching into Stealth Rock; she can also stop the opponent from getting up entry hazards, which helps her teammates later in the match. Even though Choice Scarf may lock you into Sleep Powder or Stun Spore, it is still Butterfree's most consistent way of spreading status, as Butterfree's frailty and relatively low base 70 Speed really hurt her ability to status things.

Sleep Powder is a given on this set, as the main reason you should be using Butterfree in the first place is her very reliable 97.5% accurate Sleep Powder. It's also (as mentioned previously) a great way to stop your opponent's lead from getting entry hazards up. U-turn provides a way for Butterfree to scout the opposition for any Sleep Talkers who may attempt to absorb your Sleep Powder, while Stun Spore allows Butterfree to accurately spread paralysis that's only blocked by Ditto, Persian and Hitmonlee later in the match. Bug Buzz rounds off the set by providing a nice STAB move from Butterfree's decent base 80 Special Attack.

Though this set seems extremely similar to the first set, it plays quite differently. Whereas the first set is guaranteed to put a Pokemon to sleep, this set attempts to cripple more of the opponent's team after you've slept the opposing lead, or provide a free switch-in to one of your Pokemon. This set is especially effective against slower leads such as Omastar and Uxie because Butterfree will be able to outspeed and put them to sleep, allowing her to either paralyze the switch-in if they switch out, or simply scout the opponent's move with U-turn. Against faster leads with Taunt, this set does much worse, as it is almost forced to U-turn immediately. However, this can still give one of your Pokemon a free switch-in, so this can potentially benefit your team.

Like the first set, Sleep Powder is once again used to stop slower leads from getting their entry hazards up. Stun Spore, with correct prediction, can allow you to cripple a third of your opponent's team in tandem with Sleep Powder via the Double Powder strategy. However, this strategy can be easily telegraphed due to it being commonly used on Butterfree, so U-turn provides a safe scouting move when you're unsure if your opponent will switch out. Protect is yet another scouting move that also allows you to stop the most common lead in UU, Ambipom, from breaking Butterfree’s sash with Fake Out and KOing her the next turn.

Opzioni Team

Butterfree should be used mostly on offensive teams, because it is there where she can truly excel. With access to Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, and U-turn, Butterfree can easily provide a free turn or switch-in to one of your powerful sweepers, allowing them to threaten your opponent. Swellow and Ursaring, as mentioned previously, pair well with Butterfree because she can provide an opportunity for them to come in and activate their Orbs. After this, they can severely damage teams with their boosted Facades. For slower, hard-hitting Pokemon, Butterfree can slow down the opposition with Stun Spore, letting these Pokemon rip through the opposing team. Aggron and Rhyperior both hit extremely hard and appreciate the potential paralysis support Butterfree provides. The free turns that Butterfree can provide with Sleep Powder can also allow them to set up with Rock Polish and proceed to sweep.

Given that Butterfree is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, Rapid Spinners are an absolute necessity if you want her to be even remotely useful later in the game. Donphan, Hitmontop, and Blastoise pair excellently with Butterfree, as they resist some of her major weaknesses such as Electric-, Rock-, and Fire-type moves, and can always execute a Rapid Spin with Odor Sleuth or Foresight. Unfortunately, all of these Spinners are also weak to one of Butterfree's numerous weaknesses, so you may need another defensive Pokemon to cover the particular weakness. On the flip side, entry hazards like Stealth Rock can be useful for Butterfree, as she can sometimes force switches with the threat of her Sleep Powder. By U-turning out as they switch, you can cause your opponent to switch out again as you bring in your counter to their switch-in, letting you slowly rack up damage with your entry hazards.

While Butterfree should never be used on a stall team, running defensive Pokemon to cover Butterfree's numerous weaknesses is appreciated. Milotic is an excellent choice as he covers Butterfree's weakness to the rather common Fire-type moves and can deal with some of the leads who Butterfree has issues with, including Kabutops, Arcanine, and the rain that Electrode will bring. Registeel is another good partner to Butterfree, as both of them resist types that the other is weak to (barring Fire and Electric). Registeel's weakness to Fighting- and Ground-type moves can potentially allow Butterfree to switch in later during the match, giving her the opportunity to spread status around later in the game.

Modifiche Facoltative

Unfortunately, Butterfree's movepool is really shallow, so there aren't many viable options here. Roost and Morning Sun may be used if you want some healing, but 50% healing generally doesn't mean much for Butterfree. It could work somewhat decently if you're running a spread of 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe, but even then, Butterfree is rather frail. Butterfree could cobble together a Sunny Day set up set with Sleep Powder, Sunny Day, Morning Sun/Safeguard, and U-turn, but other Pokemon can do a better job of it. Energy Ball can be used if you want to deal with Kabutops, Omastar, and Rhyperior; however, Bug Buzz is generally the better option, as you hit Mesprit and Uxie harder, both of whom are more common than Kabutops, Omastar, and Rhyperior. It should also be noted that even Energy Ball won't OHKO Rhyperior and only has a slim chance of OHKOing Omastar.

Counters

Butterfree absolutely despises any kind of Sleep Talker, as they can absorb the status effects, especially sleep, that Butterfree spreads around. RestTalk Altaria, Spiritomb, and Rotom are all particularly annoying for Butterfree to face because they can either set up in her face or, in Rotom's case, KO Butterfree with a STAB Discharge or Thunderbolt. Pokemon who can set up Substitute before Butterfree can do anything are also irritating for Butterfree to face, though they must be wary of Stun Spore on the switch-in. Rotom and Mismagius are great examples of this, as they're bulky enough to take Butterfree's weak STAB moves and set up on her.

As a lead, Butterfree fears Electrode. Electrode will always outspeed Butterfree and stop her from putting it to sleep with Taunt. From there, Electrode can set up Rain Dance without much fear of any of Butterfree's weak attacks. Leads with Lum Berry are also irksome, as the Lum Berry will remove the sleep instantly while the opposing Pokemon sets up on or KOes you. Lead Swellow is another lead who Butterfree fails against. With Protect, he can stop any attempts by Butterfree to paralyze or sleep him, then become immune to her status attacks via his Toxic or Flame Orb. After this, Swellow can simply KO Butterfree.

If you lack a Sleep Talker, sending a bulky Pokemon who can survive being asleep for a couple of turns will do just fine. Milotic, Registeel, Chansey, and Altaria are great choices for this. In the case of the last two, they can remove the sleep upon switching out with their handy Natural Cure ability, so they won't have to stay asleep for long. For Milotic and Registeel, they are easily bulky enough to sleep for a couple of turns and still take a few hits safely. Toxic Orb Clefable is also a good counter to Butterfree, as she becomes immune to Butterfree's status after Toxic Orb activates and can easily shrug off her weak attacks.
