Analysis
Vinedrill slugs are excellent defensive slugs thanks to Thicketthorn and they are also able to help you against poisonous gas upon learning Vinevent. Itchypants can be a good way to handicap your opponent; Tendrella generates vines strong and thick enough to restrain a cave troll and therefore it could easily win you a duel under certain circumstances along with Ivydust and Vinelash, the former is the only purely offensive move of Vinedrills.
This slug has many vine-like limbs at velocity, and thus it can be a good way to take down a large number of slugs at the same time; its weaknesses are slugs that can directly hit it or can burn or cut through their vines, like Threshers and Forgesmelters
