 ===Defense===
-Grass types are tied with {{t|Rock}} in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five.
+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}}. Additionally, Grass Pokémon are the only ones affected by {{m|Rototiller}} and {{m|Flower Shield}}, as they raise both attack stats or the physical {{stat|Defense}} stat, respectively, when used.
+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.
-{{m|Forest's Curse}} adds the Grass type to the target's types.
+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.
 ===Offense===
-Grass attacks deal 4× super effective damage to more Pokémon than any other type. However, 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}}.
+Although they can [[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.
-When {{m|Grassy Terrain}} is in the effect, the power of Grass-type attacks is increased by 50% if the user is [[grounded|on the ground]]. When a Pokémon is holding a [[Rose Incense]], the power of its Grass-type attacks is increased by 20%.
+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.
+When {{m|Grassy Terrain}} is in the effect, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 50% if the user is [[grounded|on the ground]].
