Grass (type): Difference between revisions

The '''Grass type''' (Japanese: '''くさタイプ''' ''Grass type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Grass-type [[move]]s are super-effective against {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{t|Water}}-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Grass-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{t|Poison}}-type moves.

 

 

Grass-type Pokémon are immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}.

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

Grass types are tied with {{t|Rock}} in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five.

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}}. Additionally, Grass Pokémon are the only ones affected by {{m|Rototiller}} and {{m|Flower Shield}}. Those moves raise both attack stats or the physical {{stat|Defense}} stat, respectively, when used.

 

{{m|Forest's Curse}} adds the Grass type to the target's types.

Grass-type attacks are resisted by seven types, so they're tied with {{t|Bug}} as the most resisted type. Those resistant types are best covered by {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}}. As of Generation VI, {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Ghost}} have neutral matchups against every type that resists Grass.

When {{m|Grassy Terrain}} is in the effect, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to [[Generation VIII]]) if the user is [[grounded|on the ground]].

In contests, Grass-type moves are typically {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves, but can also be any of the other four [[contest condition]]s.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Grass-type Pokémon|pages}} Grass-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Grass-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Grass-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]]), making it the third most common type after {{t|Normal}} and before {{t|Flying}}. All other types have been paired up with Grass at least once.

==[[Pokéstar Studios]] opponents==

As of [[Generation IX]], there are 59 Grass-type [[move]]s, or 6.46% of all moves (excluding those that are Grass-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 3rd most common type, after {{t|Psychic}} and before {{t|Fighting}}.

* [[Generation I]] introduced the most Grass-type moves of any generation, with 10, and [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three.

** Another reference to "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) is made by [[Professor Oak]] in the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, and international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, classifying {{p|Bulbasaur}} as such when the {{player}} is about to choose it as their {{pkmn2|starter}}. This is also the case in the Japanese versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; in contrast, he calls it the "grass Pokémon" in the English versions.
