On the other hand, Grass types' main problem is their weakness to five types—the most weaknesses of all types (tied with {{t|Rock}}). Also, in practice, Grass types' resistances are still of little use. Almost all Water types can use {{m|Ice Beam}}, and most Electric types can learn {{m|Signal Beam}}. With a number of Grass types being part Poison-type as well, Grass types' resistance to Ground-type moves has been hindered. Given all of this, Grass types are difficult to switch into play. | On the other hand, Grass types' main problem is their weakness to five types—the most weaknesses of all types (tied with {{t|Rock}}).

Despite some of its defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass types to learn Leech Seed and Synthesis, among other disabling moves, like {{m|PoisonPowder}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Stun Spore}}. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. | Despite some of its defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves, like {{m|PoisonPowder}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Stun Spore}}.

As of [[Generation VI]], Grass-type Pokémon are immune to [[:Category:Powder and spore moves|spore and powder moves]], such as {{m|Spore}}. Because of this, alongside their resistance to Grass and immunity to Leech Seed, they are good at defending against other Grass-types. | As of [[Generation VI]], Grass-type Pokémon are immune to [[:Category:Powder and spore moves|spore and powder moves]], such as {{m|Spore}}.
