Username: Peitharchia.
Favorite Pokémon: Breloom.

Who is your favorite Grass type Gym Leader and why?
I would say Erika. Although she isn't very difficult to defeat if we happen to have some fire- or ice-type Pokémon on our team (this is how it is for almost all gym leaders, really, only with different typing and whatnot), she could still pull off a decent challenge if we do not. This is one thing that I like about her--her difficulty.

I might have seen her a couple of times in anime before, but... can't exactly remember much regarding her appearances, unfortunately. Definitely would have been nice if I were able!

Hey Peitharchia! Glad you could join us here :). I too share your opinion, Erika is my favorite grass-type trainer as well. Her status effects gives me an ulcer if I allowed her to set up, which only takes a single turn really lol. Looking forward to seeing you here!

Whooo another great member! Welcome! So sorry for the late welcome and post, I was out traveling over the weekend. Yes I totally agree, Erika is so freakin' great, she has style and she's strong too. Only if you let her set up which only takes a turn or two. What makes you like Treecko so much? :o

BurningLanguages May 30th, 2015 11:31 AM

Ok people let's liven this place up, shall we? I put up a new topic of the week so please use it if you are at a loss for words.

In response to the topic, I feel that the Grass-type should have a more versatile type changing move. What I mean by that is other types have a move that forces the opponent to change its typing. For example water has "soak", and Trevenant has "Forest's Curse" that is only exclusive to it. Soak can be used by multiple water types so I would want Forest's Curse to do the same or have another move altogether.

ZxFlashFreezexZ June 7th, 2015 5:07 PM

Hi there, I am here to join, so let's get right to it!:):

Username: ZxFlashFreezexZ (just call me Flash)
Favorite Pokemon: Sceptile
Reason For Joining: Grass types are my favorite, simple as that!
Answer to the Current Topic: If I could change one thing about grass types, it would be adding more grass type legendaries!

Sun June 25th, 2015 11:02 PM

Username: Unapologetic Sunflower
Favorite Pokémon: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/b9/Spr_5b_407_m_s.png
Reason for joining: Grass isn't actually my most favorite type. But I want to love it more, so that's why I'm here!
Answer the current topic (optional): They should be immune to Fairy-type moves or at least the said type moves aren't super effective against Grass!

Tominator10 June 26th, 2015 1:31 PM

Username: Tominator10 (Tommy for short)
Favorite Pokemon: Grotle
Reason for joining: Grass type = Best Type
I also think there should be more grass legendaries. Let's just look at the ones we already have, shall we?
There's Celebi, Shaymin (both forms I guess), and Virizion. So thats 4 for Grass, but how many does Psychic have? 15. Yep, 15 legendary psychics. With Grass being the embodiment of nature in this universe, I think we need more.

Welcome to the Grass-type Club and PokéCommunity, Tommy! I'm uh not officially a member yet, I don't even know where did our Club Owner go. lol

Something like the God of the forest or plants would be great!

Enjoy your time here at PC!

Wicked3DS July 4th, 2015 7:41 PM

If anyone is interested in taking over this club, please speak up as the owner of this club hasn't logged in since May 30.

EDIT: And just like that the deed is done - Unapologetic Sunflower is the new owner of the club.

Sun July 5th, 2015 7:47 AM

Hello, fellow Grass-type Club members! As Quajutsu says, I'm the current owner of this garden due to the owner no longer being active here since late May.

Please to meet everyone, you can call me Unapologetic or Sunflower Guy, which I'm cool to either one! Let's give our very best for this relatively new club, show the others out there what we got! ;)

Now it's time to rock! Here's our new topic: Have you ever had a tough battle with a Grass-type Pokémon? Share us your experience!

To commemorate July 5th AND taking over this garden. I'm giving away a Shiny Stone* to those members who replied to the current topic.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=8941&pictureid=79667

Shiny Stone is an essential item for Roselia, if you want to evolve your Roserade into a Roserade. *Not in game or a real life item. It's an item that can only be used here for our Grass-type Club exclusive campaign, for details please check the rules.*

EDIT: The first two members who replies to our new topic will receive a Shiny Stone in their Gen VI games!

Hikamaru July 6th, 2015 10:00 AM

I figured with Sunflower now at the helm, I should join.

Your nickname: Nichole, Hika
Your Partner Pokémon: Budew
Reason for joining the club: Grass-types are amazing, they range from having unique designs and secondary types to also having unique moves and abilities that allow them to support the team or annoy the opponent.

Have you ever had a tough battle with a Grass-type Pokémon? Share us your experience!

I never really had any struggles with Grass-types, but I recall Gardenia's Roserade smashing me badly the first time I played Diamond. I guess it was because I had the wrong team to handle it, but on subsequent D/P/Pt playthroughs I always carried a Staravia by the time I got to her so she became much easier, along with the fact I was getting smarter.

Hello, welcome to our sunflower-themed garden! I hope you'll enjoy your time and interactions with our members here, even though our Club is just a small group for now!

Budew is great choice as a partner and you received a Shiny Stone for the Grass-type Club Campaign!

Gardenia's Roserade gave my Prinplup a hard time during my initial play as well! But my Staravia saved the day for us. :)

Sorry for the late welcome.

Coffee July 7th, 2015 4:58 AM

Ah it's good to see that we have a new leader. Follow the leader, leader, leader!

''Have you ever had a tough battle with a Grass-type Pokémon?'' : Plenty! Grass type pokemon are always annoying to fight if you dont have a type advantage. Sleep powder is my nightmare!

Hello Jolly Potato (nice and happy name btw), thanks for the warm welcome! I've updates our club rules and with a campaign. Hopefully everyone is going to enjoy this mini-game for our tiny yet precious Grass-type Club!

You received the Shiny Stone for our Grass-type Club Campaign! Additionally a Shiny Stone has been reserved for your Gen VI game, I'll send you a Personal Message later to carry over this conversation over there.

That's all for the Shiny Stone giveaway event, stay tune for the next scenario!!!


Grass-type Pokémon can be nasty to battle with, for example the classic and well known SubSeed-tactic. Despite having the most weakness, if they are used carefully and with smart tactics, those who underestimate them is going to pay the price!

Hola, amiga mía! Bienvenidos a Club de Tipo Planta! Okay sorry about that! x'D
I mean, Hello my friend! Welcome to Grass-type Club!

That Pansage can be tough! I needed the Pansear's help just to win him!

See you around and have fun. :)

Thank you very much for joining our club! It's great to know that our Club is blooming slowly but steadly!

Since Ferrothorn is unavailable for picking, I'll give you a Ferroseed instead! ;) Keep on posting in this thread, I guarantee that your Ferroseed is going to evolve into a fine Ferrothorn someday. ^^

Your story with the Wild Shroomish sound interesting! If you don't mind, please tell us more about it!

Once again, welcome to our small and humble club! See you around, Fikri! :D

Rain T. July 10th, 2015 7:27 AM

A wild Shroomish? To be honest...I've never encountered one! I spend all day in those blasted Petalburg Woods on Alpha Sapphire and Shroomish never appears! I want a Breloom so bad. DX

Just because the Grass-type Pokémon has a lot of weaknesses, they aren't meant to be picked on or stomped on! 'I have fury!', as Fawful from the Mario series says.

Poison Point activated with her first move, and subsequent turns I used tackle while she used magical leaf. In the last turn, she fainted budew, then succumbed to poison, so I won the battle but gained no exp.

Reason for joining the club: Umm theyre grass types whats not to love? Alot of them are cute and Grass beats a good amount of types :D
Answer to the current topic:

Have you ever had a tough battle with a Grass-type Pokémon?
Hmm Erika's Vileplume in red was pretty tough for me since i didnt really have any fire types yet haha but still that thing was killing me with sleep powder ><

Welcome to this humble club, Hanbei! *hugs tightly*
While they are defensively frail, it's true that Grass-type moves can smack good amount of type like Water, Ground and Rock-types coincidentally the weakness of Fire-types!

As I said, Grass-type can really be nasty if a trainer isn't well prepared on taking Grass Pokémon! ;)

Hello Solar, welcome to our humble but jolly Grass-type Club! That's a great partner you chose for the scenario campaign! ^^

That sounds like an intense battle! So that Budew has saved the day eh? :') I hope that Budew eventually bloomed into a strong Roserade! ^_^ I like your answer to the topic, you are rewarded with a shiny Snivy as a partner for the Grass-type Campaign! Shiny Pokémon in the Grass Campaign is just as rare as they are in games, congratulations! See you around! ;)

Solar Snivy July 17th, 2015 3:57 AM

Wow, a shiny snivy! Thanks so much!


I sure learned to level up my flying types after my battle with Gardenia, so when I played platinum I had no trouble beating her. Though it still bugs me that flying's good against grass in the first place.

Thank you very much for sharing us your valuable experience! It does sound devastating, but on the positive aspect for the Grass-Pokémon, it means Grass isn't that as frail as the majority thinks! Don't mess up the Grass folks! ;)

Moving on to an another topic, which our uh.. new topic for our Grass-type Club.

Current topic: Most Grass-type Pokémon have a lot of weakness, how does your Grass Pokémon counter them? How does its team mate support it?

The answer that catches my eye receives a special shiny Pokémon in our Grass-type Campaign as a reward!

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

Hikamaru July 17th, 2015 6:31 PM

Most Grass-type Pokémon have a lot of weakness, how does your Grass Pokémon counter them? How does its team mate support it?

If possible, I can get a dual-typed Grass Pokemon that can use some extra moves than usual from the second type, but then we even have some pure Grass ones like Tangrowth and Gogoat which can use a few Rock moves (and some Ground ones too) to counter pretty much almost all the weaknesses. Then there's ones with more limited options, but defensive play and also help from teammates helps them get around many problems.

Rain T. July 18th, 2015 7:25 AM

I like to double battle with my Serperior and Volcarona. In order to give my Serperior the chance to OHKO everything that comes up (without taking damage, because his Nature had Speed growth) I would Swords Dance with it, while Volcarona covered with Heat Wave, usually knocking out all the opponents that turn. In single battles with Grass types, I like to give them moves that cover their weaknesses. I like to teach a Ground type move to cover Fire and Poison, and a Rock type attack to cover for Bug, Ice, and Flying. Unfortunately, not many Grass types are pure Grass type, and even less of those are able to learn both Ground and Rock attacks. So I usually just end up with a partial Grass type and giving it moves that cover for as many weaknesses as possible. A Substitute/Leech Seed/HP-draining attack (such as Absorb, Mega Drain, Giga Drain, Horn Leech, etc) while said Pokemon is either holding a Big Root or a Leftovers is a very difficult Pokemon to beat, and I've recently started using this strategy. Also, a Leech Seed/Ingrain/Sleep Powder/Giga Drain is annoying to overcome, and rather easy to battle with.

Sun July 18th, 2015 6:46 PM

It's time for me to reply to the topic, despite I can't take part with getting the special shiny Pokémon for the sake of fairness. :P Note that this isn't a model answer. You can edit your original post as much as you want until I change the topic on next Friday.~

Most Grass-type Pokémon have a lot of weakness, how does your Grass Pokémon counter them? How does its team mate support it?

While giving them the moves that can counter their own weakness might be the most obvious answer. I play it differently, this is where the nasty Status Moves like Spore, Sleep Powder, Teeter Dance come in. >:) Fire-types Pokémon and Grass Pokémon make great partners in a team, specially when it's a Double/Triple or Rotation Battle. They can cover almost each other's weaknesses.

Sun July 26th, 2015 12:00 AM

The answer that catches my eye is from...

Hikamaru

Congratulations! Here's your promised special Shiny Pokémon!

Sun August 8th, 2015 8:14 PM

The last topic proved to be a failure, so everything about it including the prizes are scrapped. xD

Main topic:
Your favorite Grass-type offensive move? Why?
Sub-topics: (Optional)
Sub-topic 1: Which Grass-type status move are you fond of?
Sub-topic 2:If there is something you can change from your favorite Grass-type offensive move and/or status move, what changes are they? (It doesn't matter if you're going to make it overpower, they just need to make sense.)
Sub-topic 3: Your least favorite Grass-type move? Why?

Rain T. August 9th, 2015 7:08 AM

Favorite Offensive Grass Type Move: I have to say, that this would either be Leaf Blade or Energy Ball, depending on which Attack stat is the higher one. Both moves are pretty powerful, have solid accuracies, and no kind of recoil such as stat lower or damage. In addition, Energy Ball has a TM and can be used by a pretty wide variety of Pokemon, while I just love the game animation of Leaf Blade.

Favorite Status Grass Type Move: I think I'm gonna have to say Leech Seed for this. Even though it doesn't affect other Grass types, that still leaves seventeen other types to use it against. It's a great move for longer lasting battles, gradually draining away the opponent's HP and restoring yours. It's just awesome.

Least Favorite Grass Type Move:
This one is definitely Absorb. With a base power of 20 and no multi-hit like Bullet Seed, it's pretty darn weak. There are much better draining moves to use, such as Giga Drain, or even Mega Drain. Even moves like Worry Seed (which I also don't like) have some strategic uses. Absorb is just weak.

Hikamaru August 10th, 2015 12:09 AM

Your favorite Grass-type offensive move? Why?
I'm with what was mentioned earlier. Energy Ball and Leaf Blade for their solid power and having some really nice animations as well. The former also has some good distribution, such as a lot of Psychic-types being able to use it.

Which Grass-type status move are you fond of?
I always love Leech Seed, the passive healing over the course of the battle allows you to get more annoying with other moves as well, and trust me I recall when I was so frustrated at a SubSeed Shroomish on Showdown once because I kept thinking I had no literal answer to it but I did overcome it. Shows you that Leech Seed, especially in a combo with Substitute is really annoying but fun when you're the one pulling it off.

Your least favorite Grass-type move? Why?
Absorb. While I do like the draining moves, the thing is the other ones do a much better job than Absorb does, it's just too weak to compete with its bigger cousins like Mega Drain and Giga Drain.

Oh, and nice shiny Celebi. Thanks dude.

Sun August 12th, 2015 8:02 PM

New topic:
What kind of Grass-type Pokémon would you like to see in the future?

EDIT: Club rules is updated. I do not want to make the club sounds like a compulsory obligation, but please stay active or according to this club's rules you will be no longer part of the club; you didn't join the club for the sake of joining, right?

KENSHlN August 12th, 2015 8:29 PM

Hello peeps~
I'd like to join this club as well. Grass isn't my favorite, but it's second on the list. lol
I also have a full team of grass pokemon that I adore.
I'd love to introduce my grass pokemon later as well if I'll be able to. ^_^

As for an answer to the last topic, I would love to see a grass/fire pokemon in the next generation. There are too many that are grass/poison. I'd like a bit more diversity with the dual-types.

So grass/fire, grass/dragon, grass/rock, another grass/water as well. ^_^

Ah a breath of fresh air! Welcome to PokéCommunity's Grass-type Club! :)
Yes, feel free to edit your partner later! But once you decided it's permanent. ;)

KENSHlN August 12th, 2015 8:40 PM

Thanks for the welcome!
I guess my partner will be Leo, my Leafeon. :P
Could you also message me maybe telling me what this place is all about? :)

Rain T. August 13th, 2015 3:40 AM

I feel like a lot of Grass type Pokemon are pretty focused with status moves. And while that makes sense, it's just not my battling style. Which kinda stinks, because I really like Grass types. I'd like to see the Grass type paired with a type that's got a good amount of power. Grass/Dragon (yes, I know, we've got Mega Sceptile, but I'd like some non-Mega Grass/Dragons as well) or Grass/Fire. Grass/Fighting would be neat too.

Please read the rules and regulations: you wouldn't pick Leafeon (or more like yon't be able to pick it) and filling up our official form if you have read it thoroughly. {XD}

I don't mean anything bad, but that's a funny question! {XD} What if this is a criminal group? >:) This is a club where you can discuss about Grass-type in general. You can compare them to other types, but careful not to stray somewhere far or you might get reported for off-topic. :)

I feel you there. The Grass-type can be sort of contradicting, there are a good number of Grass Pokémon with great offensive stats, some are even part of the Overused tier from Smogon. However the Grass-type is often seen as a supporter, cleric. Because of the current type chart matchup, Grass-type is often avoided when considering team building. Sadly we have only less than 10 members at the OU.

Grass/Fire is needed, it's an almost perfect combination of typings. This Pokémon needs to be a speedy one while able to hit hard!

Welcome and you're officially accepted! ^_^ So far you are the most special member we have here, it took you two posts to complete a sign up! xD That also happened at the Water-type Club, you're really totally new about this club thing, eh? xD

So which part you didn't understand? About picking a partner? Or the partner limitations?

I think it was the partner limitations. He wanted Leafeon but realized Eevee was not a possible partner choice because it isn't a Grass-type itself, but it's all cool. Not everyone can understand a sign-up process for clubs at first hand.

I was thinking about that too. Good news is Leafeon is gonna be offer as an event someday.

For those who thinks the this evolving and limiting partners are not cool. I made that decision to promote the Club -- if one really loves that type a lot, then I'm sure they are willing to participate. That is why the likes of Shaymin and Leafeon should be only awarded to those who've shown they are part of the Club community. :)

lol Yeah, it was pretty much this. And partly because I thought those neat gif's were there just for show. xD

I feel like the only way to make grass work is to actually take advantage of the status inducing moves. It's their advantage over other types for the most part.
They can paralyze, poison, and put others to sleep. They just don't really have burn, but they are still really crippling. My Cooper (whimsicott) agrees.

And I think that turns off a lot of people from the typing. People like fast and damage. And there's few grass types that can actually do that.

Lol. Sorry if things are too confusing! xD

If you're talking about why Grass-type Club isn't popular because people are turned off by the typing then uh no. Pokémon Club is relatively quiet compare to other sections. {XD}

As for Grass-type in general, I really agree with your point. We need a lot of fast hitters! I'd like to see a Grass/Fire to be exact, as they sync perfectly. But that Pokémon needs to be speedy and hit hard. :P

New topic:
Which Grass-type Pokémon deserves a Mega Evolution? Why this Pokémon in particular?

Rain T. August 17th, 2015 8:28 AM

Hmm...I kinda want to see a Mega Trevenant. Bet everyone was expecting a Grass type starter. It bet it would look pretty awesome, and I like seeing one of my favorite Pokemon get Megas. Errr...that's kinda of the only reason actually. I like how it already performs in battle, though I guess some power boots wouldn't be bad.

Being predictable now, I think that those poor Grass type starters (except for Veunsaur and Sceptile) deserve their Mega forms too.

KENSHlN August 17th, 2015 10:36 AM

I agree with the other starters. I think Meganium is in desperate need of one and they have a chance to make her useable again.
And also hoping that meganium's design improves a little bit with the mega as well. xD

How about a mega Sawsbuck? Changes into grass/fairy typing because it's distantly related to Xerneus? xD

Well, Grass-type Starters receiving Megas are sort of given, the only question is when is it gonna happen? But I'm not further elaborating on the starters.

I would like to see a Mega Roserade, she needs to be speedy and hit hard like a Hydreigon. >:)

Mega Roserade would be great too. I used a shiny Roserade (I loves him so much!) during my playthrough with X version. I was pretty satisfied with performance in battle, but there's always room for improvement!

The reason why I brought up Roserade, it's not only because it's my favorite Grass (along Vileplume and a few Grasses actually). It's because the Abilities Roserade has, are no longer beneficial to its kind. Grass Pokémon are immune to Powder moves (a natural Overcoat), so that makes Natural Cure less useful. While Leaf Guard, which are Budew and Roselia's Hidden Ability, gets useless than ever.

I suppose that is true, though mine has Poison Point, so I've never really dealt with a Roserade that has a useless ability.

Actually Roserade with Poison Point is the worst. That's why I didn't bother mentioning as I thought you know already! {XD} That said, it really means Roserade is desperate with a Mega Evolution.

Technician Roserade is good, but not great enough as she couldn't make use of the Ability to the fullest. Tragic.

Rain T. August 18th, 2015 7:14 AM

Actually, I find Poison Point to be a favored ability of mine. Physical contact has a chance of leaving the opponent Poisoned? I like it, because then I don't have to take up one of the four move slots for an attack that does the same thing. Even though it's only got a chance of activating, it seems to activate pretty often for me.

I have used Poison Point Roserade but at least it's better than nothing. I never tried the Technician variant myself but with the fact it doesn't learn much to abuse it makes it not as appealing as it first looks. Pretty much all I recall that it can really take advantage of is Hidden Power and Magical Leaf, the latter of which ignores accuracy/evasion modifiers so with a Technician Roserade it'll actually hit as hard as Energy Ball, which is pretty potent.

If I had to call any variant of the Roselia line totally useless as of 6th Gen, it'd be Natural Cure because as you said, Grass-types now having auto-immunity to spore and powder moves mean it's harder to inflict status on it now.

Hiatus August 18th, 2015 3:06 PM

I've never been good at utilizing Roserade, haha. It could wind up to be deadly with correct strategy, but I don't believe I've been able to figure out what it is nor how it works.

Poison Point is actually a neat Ability, it's Roserade's low Defense made it bad for her. As it's a kind of Ability that is beneficial for those with high Defensive stat, which Roserade lacks on one defensive area. Which further extends to her another Ability, Natural Cure. If she has a high Defense and Special Defense, she can take advantage of the move Rest.

Natural Cure was actually the perfect Ability for the bouquet Pokémon prior the upgrade for Grass-types. As she could act as a sponge for the powder moves and other status inflicting moves. Well the Ability still has use, Thunder Wave and the less common Will-O-Wisp can be seen in the competitive area.

Nichole, pretty much said it about Technician. It's an another classic example of bad ability-match up for her. On the other hand, look how Scizor and even Hitmontop utilizes the said Ability.

The perfect offensive Roserade for Gen VI should Timid/Modest with Technician.
Her moveset should:
Leaf Storm/Energy Ball/Giga Drain (Life Orb)
Sleep Powder
Sludge Bomb/Dazzling Gleam
Hidden Power Fire/Shadow Ball

KENSHlN August 26th, 2015 10:26 AM

My Roserade's name is Duke. I also kinda have some trouble using him.
He's a little fragile. So he doesn't really make my grass team also seeing as he's grass/poison and I have Belle for that.
She's my Venusaur.

Roserade is a bit fragile, so I would love for it to get a mega as well and maybe get some defense boost to it along with a usable ability.

Which current non-Grass type Pokemon should be a Grass-type and why?
Which current non-Grass-type move should be a Grass-type move and why?
Which current Grass-type move should not be Grass-type and why?

Rain T. August 27th, 2015 8:07 AM

I feel like Farfetch'd should be a Grass type Pokemon. Mainly just because of the stalk it always holds.

Growth
is surprisingly a Normal type move. Just looking at its name, you'd think it should be a Grass type move. The only Pokemon that can learn it by level-up are Grass types. "In intense sunlight, Growth raises Attack and Special Attack by two stages each." Sunlight is important for plants to grow.

I can't really think of any Grass type moves that shouldn't be Grass type moves.

Dedenne1 August 27th, 2015 10:55 AM

I'll Agree with Rain T Farfertch'd Kinda always came of as a grass and flying type in my eyes.

Which current non-Grass-type move should be a Grass-type move and why?
Once again agreeing with Rain T here i mean Growth really it should be for plants and grass types!

Which current Grass-type move should not be Grass-type and why?
Aromatherapy perhaps? its really the only one i can think of that could not be a grass type move but alot of the grass type moves make more sense than other types.

Woah how could I forgot that wild duck! xD I say Sudowoodo should be a Grass-type too!

Sweet Scent is also a Normal-type, when it's suppose to be a Grass-type move [s]or Fairy or Bug[/]!

Perhap Cotton Spore and Cotton Guard? Cottons are exclusively for plant related things. (Ahem! Mareep says hi.)

And Rain T, I'm really happy and grateful that you're trying your best to keep up with this club every time I post a new topic. :')

Sweet Scent i agree with cause it makes no sense to have it be normal. Cotton i guess cause it grows on a plant it makes alittle sense atleast though haha

No problem. :) You pick out some pretty fun topics to discuss.

Which current non-Grass type Pokémon should be a Grass-type and why?
A lot of bug-type Pokémon we have out there could partially be categorized as grass, in my opinion. One example of this would be Dustox, mainly due to the grass-like features it has attached onto its body (such as its wings, which do resemble grass), as well as the amount of grass attacks Dustox has access to.

I get Sudowoodo was meant to fool the players/a novelty Pokémon, since he's known as The Imitation Pokémon.
But he already served his purpose well on his design, right? So it's pointless to make him a Rock-type Pokémon. At least make him a Grass and Rock-type Pokémon!

I feel you! When I was using Beautifly around a decade ago, I wondered why Beautifly isn't part Grass-type. It can learn more than draining moves, it learns Energy Ball and Solar Beam (through TM, which can be argued. haha.)

Thanks, it's active members like you keeps the club on and that's my motivation of course!

Now on to our new topic! ;)

We can't deny the fact that Grass-types has a lot of weaknesses. Some people even goes as far as to laugh at our type, so here's the thing.

Main topics:
If you can kick out at least one of Grass-type's weakness*, which type would it be? Why?
*Fire, Flying, Bug, Ice, Poison-type moves.
Which type(s) of move the Grass should able to resist?
What types should be weak to the Grass-type moves?


On the first glance, it looks like an easy topic, but it isn't! xD So your take time fixing your answers.

KENSHlN August 29th, 2015 12:41 AM

In terms of balance, I guess ice would be the best to remove as a weakness.
I mean, there are still trees on mountains. lol And they are living things. Animals would also freeze in the winter time. @[email protected]
But plants can at least grow back I guess and not exactly 'die.'

I think plants should resist poison due to the fact that herbs are used for healing.
And of course poison can kill plants too, but poison would kill regular animals too as well. xD
Poison should gain another type to be strong against. How about water?

No more types should be super affective. I love battling, so there's no need to give it even more weaknesses, when it still has more than most. xD

You are right on the money! Not all kinds of plants and flora die in cold areas, in fact there are some that grows in those environment. So Game Freak sort of generalized plants on being weak at frigid environments; it's unfair how Normal-type Pokémon get neutral damage from Ice-moves then. Because most mammals can't stand the cold, unless they are fully adapted to it!

I think Bug-moves. Some real plants are actually bug repellent, some plants can even go as far as eating an insect a bug. Sound gross, but my point is they can't simply make Grass-Pokémon weak to Bug-moves. This is a similar point to the Ice-Grass thing Kenshin has brought up earlier!

I think Grass Pokémon should be able to resist Fairy-type moves, since they are sharing a symbiosis relationship. Or in rare cases, the plants and floras can be overwhelming to the Fairies.

Oops, seems like I worded it wrongly. :P I'll fix that part! I mean What types should be weak to the Grass-type moves?

Rain T. August 29th, 2015 8:18 AM

If you could kick out at least one of the Grass type's weaknesses, which would it be and why? Very good points with the Ice, Poison, and Bug. However, I'd say that Flying just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Most Flying types are modeled after some kind of bird, right? Well, I'd say that about the worst a bird could do to a plant was nest in it, or eat its seeds. The others, I can see making sense. Fire burns up plants. Many plants will die from the cold, though not all. While some plants may act as antidotes to poison, the majority can still be killed with poisons. And while some plants eat bugs, more plants are the ones that get eaten by the bugs. So, to me, Flying makes the least sense, and is the one I would choose to toss.

Which types of moves should Grass be able to resist? Another good point made about how Grass should be able to resist Fairy. In my personal opinion, though, I believe that the Grass types resistances are fine as they are.

What types should be weak to Grass? If, logically thinking, Bug is strong against Grass because bugs eat plants and Poison is strong against Grass because poison kills plants, then, continuing to speak logically, it should be one of those situations where the types are both strong against the other. Some plants eat insects, so it would make sense for Grass to take double damage from Bug types, but to also dish out double damage to Bug types. The same can be said for Poison. As some herbs heal poison, but poison can also kill plants, then it makes sense for Poison to do double damage to Grass and for Grass to do double damage to Poison. That said, I think of the rest of the types that Grass is strong against (Water, Rock, and Ground) are pretty spot on.

Which two Grass type Pokemon would you want to fuse together? Why?

This is an interesting topic! ;) Make sure to tell us yours and don't kill me if I change the topic after your reply, since we are the only active members of this club! {XD}

Okay, now on the topic. I say Meganium and Tropius! Since their structure are so similar, their designs are definitely going to compliment each other!

An another one on my imagination is Bellossom and Venusaur! {XD} Imagine if Bellossom replaces that huge flower on Venusaur's back! {XD}

Rain T. August 31st, 2015 5:46 AM

We need more active members then...

Anyway, my answer to the topic. Hmm...I feel like Celebi and Shaymin (land form) would make a reeeaaally cute fusion.

Easy to wish for, but hard to happen. :P
But it's a bit miracle our club got tagged as 'HOT'.

Ah I know!
Sub-topic:
Ability and Base Stats of the fusion Pokémon created from earlier.

Rain T. August 31st, 2015 9:11 AM

The Grass types need more luvins.

Ooh, fun sub-topic. Okay, Celebi/Land Forme Shaymin fusion.
Ability: Natural Cure
Base Stats: HP: 150 ; Attack: 90 ; Defense: 100 ; Special Attack: 125 ; Special Defense: 100 ; Speed: 100

Let's face the truth, Grass-type is considered by most competitive players as a vulnerable type.

Meganium and Tropius fusion = Meganius
Type: Grass/Flying
Ability: Natural Cure/Thick Fat
Base Stats: HP: 99 - Attack: 82 - Defense: 100 - Special Attack: 83 - Special Defense: 100 - Speed: 80
Learns Dragon Dance, Petal Blizzard

Bellossom and Venusaur fusion = Bellossaur
Type: Grass/Poison
Ability: Chlorophyll
Base Stats: HP: 80 - Attack: 100 - Defense: 100 - Special Attack: 123 - Special Defense: 120 - Speed: 80
Learns Leech Seed, Moonblast

On to our new topic:
Imagine yourself being a Grass-type Gym Leader/Elite Four. How would your gym/room look like? What would your team be?

Rain T. September 1st, 2015 7:06 AM

*gasps* Ooooh, I like this topic!

Me being me, I'd be an Elite Four. My room would be modeled after a meadow, I think. Bright green (*cough cough* fake *cough*) grass, colorful (*cough cough* also fake *cough*) wildflowers, synthetic sunlight....
As for my team, for the initial challenge I'd use a Carnivine, Tangrowth, Leafeon, and Simisage. For rematches, I'd go tougher. I'd keep the Leafeon and Simisage, but then the other four would be Gogoat, Vileplume, Breloom, and Abomasnow (that can Mega Evolve).

I tried to do what most other Elite Four do, and not use legendary Pokemon or starter Pokemon. Even though I reeeaaally wanted to stick Serperior in there, because it's my favorite. I also didn't go for Grass types with the highest stats and stuff.

YES, YES, YES!! We need a Grass-type Elite Four! I've been waiting for a Grass-type Gym Leader as the final one or an Elite Four.

Well there's Flint from the Sinnoh region Pokémon League who uses an Infernape! {XD}

If I were a Grass-type specialist Elite Four, this is going to be my team:
Whimsicott, Roserade, Ferrothorn, Ludicolo
My rematch team would be:
Whimsicott, Roserade, Ferrothorn, Ludicolo, Breloom, Mega Venusaur

Who's your favorite Grass-type specialist? :)

Yes, that's a new topic for you! xD

LilyGardy September 2nd, 2015 9:02 AM

Username - CharmedGardy

Partner Pokemon - Treecko

Favourite Grass Type- Whimsicott

Reason for joining - They grow very fast and many of them are very cute.

Favourite Grass Gym Leader/Specialist - Gardenia - She uses a Roserade despite being only the second gym in, acknowledges the (unfortunate) weaknesses of the Grass Type and seems stronger than Erika and Ramos. She always gave me trouble in the PWT in White 2 especially Tangrowth.

Answer Topics

Name one Pokemon that should be Grass-type

Florges. It is a giant flower and looks like a Grass/Fairy Type.

If you could fuse two Grass Types

I'd fuse Bellossom and Whimsicott. The form would be a Green Whimsicott with flowers in it's hair and a leaf skirt.

If you could be a Grass Gym Leader, what would your team be and what would your Gym look like?

Gym would be lots of green and flowers with Venus Fly traps blocking the way until you have beaten the corresponding trainers. (Pokemon Rangers)

My team would be (5th Gym) Whimsicott, Meganium and Sceptile
My rematch team would be: Bellossom, Meganium, Tangrowth, Roserade, Whimsicott, Mega Sceptile (Shiny)

My Gym Leader character would have long Honey-Brown hair and a green and red sundress. She would be female but I haven't decided on a name, Naomi maybe.

I haven't played any of the Sinnoh games, so I had no idea. xD

Favorite Grass type specialist...hmm...I gotta say, probably Cilan. I dunno why exactly, but maybe it's because I started watching the anime during Ash's Unova travels and my first game was White version.

Whimsicott is already awesome for being a prankster! Though I'm not sure of Whimsicott becoming a Fairy-type, while it gains a lot of resistances and immunity. She isn't bulky enough to stand for a lot of moves. Bullet Punch isn't good to her either. :(

True, most Grass-types are easy to raise! They are also handy only in-game, which is sad.

Gardenia with a Roserade sort of mirrors Misty with a Starmie. :') They are both tough Pokémon, specially at that stage. @[email protected] Tangrowth can be nasty! Tangela is also noted for being a strong Pokémon in Little Cup!

I guess Florges can be good with the Grass/Fairy typing, but she couldn't really counter most of her weakness and that defensive stats needs to be toughen up. :)

Then 'Bellosicott' is gonna have a rivalry with Lilligant! {XD}

At least you aren't forcing the Rangers to hide in huge Venus flytraps! {XD}

That makes sense! It's evaluating time! Urrr... I mean it's time for a new topic. :P

Who wants to make a new topic? If none, then I'll make one tomorrow, around this hour! (Just make sure to check back the thread).

A second partner? Yay~ I'd like a Skiddo!
Also, how many posts have I made? Has my Snivy evolved yet, and how many more posts would it take to get a Servine to evolve?

I guess I'll make a new topic again. Let's see...I wanna make this good...
Which Grass type with no evolutionary line do you think deserves either a basic form or an evolved form? Why

My answer to this is Carnivine. I think there's potential there for it to evolve into something like a Grass/Dark type, or have a basic form that represents the first stage of a venus flytrap's life. Or have both.

KENSHlN September 3rd, 2015 9:35 AM

Imagine yourself being a Grass-type Gym Leader/Elite Four. How would your gym/room look like? What would your team be?

I'd be in the Elite four. Maybe I'd have an ancient looking gym. Broken concrete with plants growing out of them. Some waterfall nearby to meditate. :P
Team is Whimsicott, Ferrothorn, Mega Venasaur, Breloom, Leafeon, and Lilligant.

Favorite grass type specialist had to be Erica. I'm keeping it old school. xD

Which Grass type with no evolutionary line do you think deserves either a basic form or an evolved form? Why
Tropius. You could give him a stage 1 form and even have tropius evolve into something else.
I feel like it needs to be stronger for a grass/flying. Though thick fat is always nice.

I'd like to see Parasect get another evolution. When's the last time you saw one? xD
Sunflora too. xD

s

Grass is my third favourite type. (Behind Psychic and Fairy)

I am not sure Whimsicott getting a second type helped it a lot. The big issue is Grass having so many weaknesses already. A resistance to Dark and Dragons is nice but moves like acid are now very Problematic. Whimsicott getting a second type means Lilligant should have also got a secondary type.

Lilligant has a great design for me but I am struggling to think of a second typing. It can't really become Grass/Fairy too. Maybe Grass/Psychic and say the flower on it's head enables it to get Psychic powers.

What I liked about Gardenia most was it showed that not all Grass Type leaders are Aroma Lady Flower Girls like Erika was.(I do like Erika's design a lot too however) It showed Grass Leaders could be strong as well.

I think it would be a pretty good Gym. Maybe I'd have an Army of trainers like there are in Flannery's Gym.

Onto the question

Tropius - At the moment it is a Grass-type that is just there. A baby form (Pretty much a smaller version) could help interest but an evolution is the way to go. Not sure what it would like though

Rain and Gothet's fascination over Venus flytraps.{XD}

Done adding the Skiddo! :) A total of 9 posts is needed to evolve Snivy. Once you have reach the amount you need to tell me if you wanna evolve it or not, I won't evolve it automatically! It's not like everyone wants to evolve their Pokémon! {XD}

I love that topic and I'll response later!~ I can borrow it over my Flying-type and perhaps Psychic-type Club! :D
Gothet, your favorite types are related to sweet and mysterious beings! :3c^_^
Spot on with Whimiscott's second typing problem.~ I was thinking about that too, tbh. Let's see it has immunity to Dragon types and resistances for Fighting and Dark-type moves, which all are common moves and types in the competitive field.~ While the number of her weaknesses have an increased as an unfortunate exchange. Formerly she has Flying, Bug, Poison, Fire and Ice moves as her weaknesses with the last two as common moves in competitive. From Gen VI and beyond, the Bug-type weakness turned into neutral. While four has retained and a x2 for Poison-type moves. :( Additionally, she gained a Steel-type weakness to which I expressed my concern over Bullet Punch.

If she's an all out speedy offensive Pokémon like Weavile, it would help her. But as a supporter Pokémon with not so impressive defensive stats. She's gonna suffer.

Wow that Elite Four chamber of yours reminds me of Palace Maven Spenser from Pokémon Emerald!

Seems like Tropius is a popular choice eh? :D

Oh yes Parasect! I totally forgot its existence. *struck with spores*

That Sunflora is a Pokémon with miserable fate, she's a poor thing.

I went through and counted every single post I've made on this thread. {XD} I have made a total of 18 posts (19, if my acceptance request form, or whatever you wanna call it, counts) which is enough for me to evolve both Emerald and Gary -- I mean, Snivy and Skiddo! Unless it takes 9 posts for Snivy, then a separate 16 for Skiddo. Anyway, if I can evolve both, I would like to do so. And if I can only evolve one, I'd like to evolve Snivy. Now...how many posts would it take for Servine to evolve? EDIT: With this post, I have made 19 (20 if the acceptance request form counts).

To be honest, I have never, ever once battled with a Cottonee or Whimsicott. I love the new change in typing though, because it makes them easier to defeat in battle. >:)

Why wouldn't Tropius be popular? It's a giant, flying grass dinosaur with a banana beard! XD

I tried going through SoulSilver with a Parasect. Ehhhh...

Never battled with a Sunkern or Sunflora either.

Current topic:
Shall we start a Grass-type Monotype Challenge? Why
If you're supportive of it, which games* should we consider?

*(In case of hacked games, make sure the game at least allows us to complete the main plot and compete for the Pokémon League.)

Rain T. September 9th, 2015 2:21 AM

WARNING: With the start of school, I'll probably become less active.

As for the topic, if one is started I'm not sure I'd take it. I already have a Poison Monotype Challenge planned for OR, which is currently the only game I own that I don't mind deleting the save file and restarting.

It's alright just try to show at least once a month and it's cool you're telling us about it. :)

It's sad that you couldn't take part, but we can always make an another form of event! :)

Rain T. September 9th, 2015 2:27 PM

I don't want to sound repetitive, but I never got an answer to my question, and last I checked the member list, I saw no change in my Pokemon's forms, soooo... I have made 21 (counting this) posts to this threat, which is enough to evolve both my Snivy and my Skiddo. Unless it takes 9 posts for Snivy, then a separate 16 for Skiddo. Anyway, if I can evolve both, I would like to do so. And if I can only evolve one, I'd like to evolve Snivy. Now...how many posts would it take for a Servine to evolve?

I'm sorry, I admit I'm too focus with the Psychic-type Club and Flying-type even comes as the second priority. That's why I missed it.

Post count stacks and Servine takes a total of 18 posts to evolve, there is no need to recount the post count for evolved Pokémon that can evolve.

I am planning to do a Grass Monotype at some point once I have finished my Psychic Type Challenge. I am unsure whether to do an Alpha Sapphire run or find a copy of Black 2 to run through Unova again...Skyla will be a real challenge on a Grass Monotype.

I think Hoenn has a lot of Grass Pokémon to offer, but I could be wrong.
Let me make a list of it tomorrow. :)

Let's see:

Treecko Line
Oddish Line
Lotad Line (Alpha Sapphire only)
Seedot Line (Omega Ruby only)
Tropius
Cottonee line (Post-game)
Shroomish Line
Cacnea Line
Roselia Line

I think there are a few more but that's a solid range of Grass Types off the top of my head

I know this may sound strange but whenever I use a Roselia it has to be Female.

Sidney uses a Cacturne and a Shiftry in his team...Does that make him a secret Grass Type User?

Post count stacks and Servine takes a total of 18 posts to evolve, there is no need to recount the post count for evolved Pokémon that can evolve.

So I can evolve Servine right away? Sweet! I'd like to do that!

This is me as well. It seems like there are so many Grass-types I view as feminine for some reason, likely because most of them have cute appearances or something. In fact every time I used Roselia's evolution line in a playthrough I always intentionally caught a female.

But as for that list, it is impressive that Hoenn has a lot of Grass-types in its Dex alone. I guess it's likely so that you have something that counters a lot of Water-types (even Ground to a lesser extent) that you'll be running into around the watery areas.

Let's see...
Kanto based games
Bulbasaur line, Tangela, Bellsprout line, Exeggcute line, Paras line, Oddish line (Bellossom is only available in Gen III games, additionally National Dex is needed),

Johto based games
Bulbasaur line, Bellsprout line, Exeggcute line, Oddish line , Hoppip line, Chikorita line, Paras line, Sunkern line, Tangela, Tangrowth , Leafeon (needs help from a Sinnoh based game)

Bold names indicate they are only available in Gen IV games.
Italic names indicate they can be only caught by trading from Gen I games.

Hoenn based games
Tropius, Treecko line, Seedot line, Lotad line, Shroomish line, Cacnea line, Oddish line, Lileep line, Roselia line (Budew and Roserade are only available in Gen VI games)

Sinnoh based games
Budew line, Turtwig line, Cherubi line, Snover line, Wormadam, Tropius, Leafeon, Tangela line, Carnivine

Bold names indicate they are only available in Platinum normally, they can be found and caught during pre-National Dex.

Unova based games
Snivy line, Sewaddle line, Cottonee line, Deerling line, Foongus line, Maractus line, Pansage line, Petilil line, Ferroseed line, Carnivine, Budew line, Tangela line, Tropius, Sunkern line, Leafeon (Post-game)

Bold names indicate they are only available in Black 2 and White 2 versions normally.

Any hacks are welcomed as long as they provide a wide variety of Grass-type Pokémon. In case of non-Grass types edited as Grass-types, they can be used. While Grass-types that are no longer part of the said type cannot be used.

Done, please pick a new partner.

Even the name 'Roselia' sounds feminine. :)

A new one? Alright then. How about Shroomish. Do I need to start over with post counts after getting it, or can it evolve into Breloom (which since I continue to have trouble getting in any game, I at least want here) right away?
