Victreebel is coming in to this with better stats but is severely hampered by lack of access to super effective moves and it's STAB moves are blunted by Whirlipede's resistance. Likewise for Whirlipede, no access to super effective moves, though it can take advantage of the STAB.

Victreebel does have one potential ace, Secret Power, which could be a super effective move if all the stars align.

I'm giving this to Victreebel on stats and the off chance that Secret Power hits for the 2X, but Whirlipede stands a decent chance at a pyrrhic victory.
