Defensively, Grass types have both good and bad points. While they have key resistances to {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Electric}}, they are tied with {{t|Rock}} in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five, although | Defensively, Grass types have both good and bad points. While they have key resistances to {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Electric}}, they are tied with {{t|Rock}} in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five, although {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Poison}} are not commonly used offensively. Additionally, most Grass types have well-balanced defensive stats, and two of their weaknesses have poor offensive stats on average. On the other hand, many Grass types also have double weaknesses, with some having two. | ||
Since [[Generation I]], a particular asset of Grass types is being the only type that is immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}. As of [[Generation VI]], Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to {{cat|powder and spore moves}}, such as {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Stun Spore}}, as well as {{a|Effect Spore}}. As these moves are mostly learned by Grass types, this enables them to provide support to the rest of their team and can make them difficult to defeat. Because of this, Grass types are often switched into each other. | Since [[Generation I]], a particular asset of Grass types is being the only type that is immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}.
