Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass-type performs middlingly; Ice-type moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. An exception to this is certain {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, many of which carry {{m|Hidden Power}}s of various types (in response to the {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon they cannot normally damage). (If the Hidden Power of said Pokémon is not of the {{type2|Ice}}, it will be forced to rely on other moves likely lacking [[same-type attack bonus]] or support its team via disabling moves, etc.) It is also | Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass-type performs middlingly; Ice-type moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers.

Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types, Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. | ||
In spite of that, 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 many common moves. | In spite of that, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}} (among other disabling moves).
