Attacks:

Signal Beam
Toxic
Attract
Reflect

Items Attached:

Bright Powder

Preferred Nature:

Timid

Strategy Using Venonat

Trying to come up with a moveset for Venonat was no easy matter. It has poor stats and its speed puts it at a disadvantage. Its movepool isn't that great either. You could try this pokemon as a Sunnybeamer: Sunny day, Solarbeam, Psychic, HP Fire but this pokemon does not have the speed.
This little bug probably won't last long enough to use this moveset but the same can be said for any other of its potential movesets. Anyway, Toxic is for poisoning obviously and Attract also helps Venonat survive longer. Reflect was picked because Venonat needs at least some defense boost, but you could replace that with double team and make it even harder to hit.
Signal beam, is for STAB and Venonat's only offensive move, which is one of the better bug moves. Although the chance of confusion is small, it still might be worth using. Overall, if Venonat manages to survive long enough to use these moves then it may prove useful.

EV Corner:

Max out the EVs in Speed for Venonat with any remaining in Special Defense & Defense
