In spite their defensive flaws , it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}} (among other disabling moves). This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of a 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. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}- and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass-type to block common moves. | In spite their defensive flaws , it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}} (among other disabling moves).

Offensively, the main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful, and even then most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage , {{m|Frenzy Plant}} leaves the user immobile, {{m|Solarbeam}} uses one turn to charge, which would make open for a strong attack and {{m|Petal Dance}} confuses the user. | |||

Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2 | Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2 | ||
