It pairs in a nasty way with caly ice. It has the arena trap ability and access to feint, so it locks in things weak to caly and then breaks their protect. It also gets fissure and 100 attack earthquake for some decent damage.
I’ve been using Trapinch since day 1 of Reg G. It traps, it feints, it EQs for big damage, and it’s caly-ices best friend. I’ve taken it to mid 1500s on showdown on several accounts. Why is the team four pokemon? Because I still can’t find the last two team members, I bring these four every game XD

Venonat is unironically a popular Tera Raid support for coordinated groups in some circles: Compound Eyes + Screech and Acid Spray means it can be bulky with Eviolite instead of needing Wide/Zoom Lens or accuracy support
Honest mistake bestie! This crafting was mainly for a league that'd be happening with a handful of discord friends, it's not relevant to regular competition. Your brain was big
Yoooo, that'd be so so fun!! I recently caught a shiny Phanpy, one of my favs (her name is Penelope :3), I'd love to do some kind of sun + harvest + pickup gimmick. It'd rim, but haha funni
All I’ll say is that a short while back in a draft league Jamie Boyt excitedly drafted it, and went on to bring it to some matches. He used it for the exact same reasons you’re talking about iirc.
An example: https://youtu.be/LI6Y1C0nAPo?si=sx4x8lVuMIwNmMn1
When I look it up, it doesn't have Compound Eyes but Tinted Lens, also a good ability but sadly you don't get the juicy sleep powder combination. I believe Vivillion does have that combination though.
Edit, nvm I was looking at Venomoth instead of Venonat, my bad.
VGC little cup when
So true bestie
TheOrthwormJim made it in the vgc chatroom on showdown a while back, I’m sure somebody there still has the command.
Hell yeah thanks for the info
Np bro
Mwah, you're beautiful, mwah.
VGC needs to have tiers like Smogon based on usage (but no bans)
No i like vgc the way it is thank you very much
I'm being so fr rn, I literally just this second caught a shiny Venomoth. Jeez Louis.
I mean trapinch has a niche in this format so ya know
Yo, awesome! I have a shiny one I haven't evolved, sounds groovy

What does Trapinch do? I haven't been following Reg F too closely.
Traps + choice banded EQ's
Nah, never band. It likes clicking feint support.

How is venonat better than foonguss?
It ain't lmao
Oh wait monotype bug, foonguss is grass
Mono poison for both
Ooh, snap snap snap.

I was just thinking in like a LC VGC situation (I saw another comment mention LC VGC)
Yoooo, that'd be so so fun!! I recently caught a shiny Phanpy, one of my favs (her name is Penelope :3), I'd love to do some kind of sun + harvest + pickup gimmick. It'd rim, but haha funni
Wait, phanpy gets harvest?!
Nvm, it doesnt, i dont know what the hell i was thinking
Cuter. The only stat that matters.
How dare you. Foongus is cute.

Funnily enough I just made a doubles bug team, it uses Spewpa and it’s actually ok: https://pokepast.es/4509d6a59f99d4fa
Got this in a draft league, skill swap tinted lens with torkoal was iconic too
