How viable is vivillon in ZU?

Question

I've realised it has a pretty good niche as a paralysis spreader with compound eyes + stun spore and offensive with decent STAB in bug buzz and compound eyes hurricane with quiver dance setup. For a held item heavy-duty boots is good to nullify it's quad weaknesses to stealth rock

You'll probably get a better answer if you ask here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/simple-questions-simple-answers-thread.3719092/

Answer 1

You didn't ask there, so I asked for you.

It's outclassed by most every Quiver Dance user; Oricorio-formes and Venomoth especially. It doesn't really have the bulk to setup quite as well, is 4x weak to Stealth Rock so doesn't work on Terrain teams nearly as well, and Sleep is banned so it doesn't have an advantage in boosted Sleep Powder anymore. Just generally better options in its role.
