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 only {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Flying}} are 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|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.

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. | ||
Grass-type Pokémon | Grass-type Pokémon are categorically more affected by [[weather]] than other types. They gain both positive and negative benefits under the two common weather conditions; {{weather|harsh sunlight}} empowers {{m|Solar Beam}}, {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|Growth}} but also empowers {{t|Fire}}, whereas {{weather|rain}} weakens Fire but also weakens Solar Beam and Synthesis, and makes the dangerous {{m|Hurricane}} incapable of missing. Grass-types also have [[Ability|Abilities]] relating to the weather more often than other types. | ||

Although they | Although they can {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}}ly handle {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, Grass types have several disadvantages. As Grass-type attacks are resisted by seven types, double resistances to Grass are common, although so are double weaknesses. | ||
Most Grass-type attacks are not very powerful or have severe drawbacks prior to [[Generation IV]], and the majority of Grass types have narrow attacking coverage. Despite this, a majority of Grass types have above-average {{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Special Attack}}, and Grass types deal | Most Grass-type attacks are not very powerful or have severe drawbacks prior to [[Generation IV]], and the majority of Grass types have narrow attacking coverage, traditionally playing more of a supportive role with {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Spore}}. Despite this, a majority of Grass types have above-average {{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Special Attack}}, and Grass types deal 4× super effective damage to more Pokémon than any other type. | ||
