*A Freshly Scented Garden* Grass-type Club

[Mawa]

This is a hard question. If I could only choose ONE starter in real life (let's imagine this) I'll choose Totodile ♡♡♡
But Snivy really got something on me.
And younger, I had a game with a Chikorita and I have a lot of good souvenirs of this game.

 

[girlslikegirls]

Side note, but I'm seriously considering going after every grass type in the Poke'verse. There's 87 in all according to Bulbapedia and I'm about a third of the way there already. The only ones that look hard to get are Shaymin and ...well since they're on the list of legendaries about to come out.... The rest I can get from trade or in game. Whattya say guys? Wanna help me out with this project?

Spoiler:

My first was Bulbasaur, but I must mention Treecko as well as my most memorable.
I love having different types movesets, and the Sceptile I had in ruby had Leaf Blade, Dragon Claw, Crunch and Thunderpunch.

Must be mentioned that in ruby ALL grass, dragon, dark and electric moves were special, so sceptile was meant to be a special attacker with a strong special attack. In the next generation, all these 4 moves became physical, so I never moved him to diamond :/

Spoiler:

Whilst Sceptile's Special Attack stat is a lot higher than his Physical Attack stat I have had a lot of fun using him as a Physical Attacker. My Physical Sceptile in Gen 5 had the moveset: Leaf Blade, Earthquake, Swords Dance and X-Scissor. This helped against Steel Types and fellow Grass Types as well as Psychic and Dark Types.

I did not know he could learn Thunder Punch. I may try putting it on him in order to deal with Flying Types and Gyarados.

Spoiler:

I think I have a Pokémon from all Grass Type Evolutionary lines other than Shaymin on my Gen 6 games. I can trade you what you need.

I think the Deerling/Sawbuck line is only available in Spring Form in Gen 6. Sprites for the other forms exist but need to be gained by trade or imported from Gen 5.

I have two Sceptile, one in attack and one in sp.attack. I use more the physical attacker.

Yeah, I poorly explained it.
What I meant was that that one time, I specifically enhanced his special attack using EVs, and also chose a sp.atk+/ph.atk- nature (and maybe it even had a good special attack IV, don't remember).
I veeery rarely do these things, but that time was one of them.
So that's why it would have been a real pity to use him as a physical attacker :/

I just realized this was my topic, and yet I'm the only one who hasn't answered it yet. {XD}

I'm gonna have to pick my Turwig from Pokemon Diamond, my first Pokemon game I played through. Even though my all-time favorite starter will always be Treecko, I developed such a deep relationship with my Turtwig when I was little that he"ll always be my favorite one that I've trained. Also, I was a Turtwig in my first playthrough of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, so that might have influenced my decision as well. By might, I mean it definitely did. {XD}

-Tempest :)

Btw, is anyone else besides me hype as all hell for Pokken Tournament? I pre-ordered it and I can't wait to pick my copy up after school tomorrow. I'm probably maining Blaziken, Sceptile or Gengar.

Spoiler:

I have only ever used the Turtwig line properly once (In Pearl) and he was very useful with his Grass/Ground Typing. Torterra has a great design and may be based partly on the mythical world carrying turtles.

If I remember correctly I got Bulbasaur from the personality test in Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team.

I have not been following Pokken as the game does not interest me but I am pleased Sceptile got into the game. I think he is the only Grass Type in said game.

I'd only need them long enough to hatch an egg, although I do have quite a few Pokemon I've set aside for trade. I can also breed for you as well. Are there particular Pokemon you're interested in trading the Grass types for? I'll be putting together a list of the Pokemon I have / don't have and probably create a separate thread for it but I can send you a PM once it's completed.

Spoiler:

I have a completed Pokedex (At least as far as the Game Freak Diploma is concerned) in X so I don't exactly need any Pokémon. I am happy to send the Pokemon over to you for whatever you feel like sending.

If you can send me over a PM of what you need that would be great. If you want all four Deerling forms I think I can get them imported from my Gen 5 games too. :)

Wow. I'm in awe! Eventually I want a full Pokedex, but I'm starting with my favorite types being a bit of a noob. Grass is easy to work with & manipulate. Much easier than some of the other stats, and it adds more verity to my attack-not-questoins-later game style. I'll be sending you a PM shortly. :-)

A full Pokedex? Wow, that's impressive.

I feel like I had the right idea with this moveset, but it just doesn't work very well unless it's used in doubles. In singles, it isn't that safe of an option to set Rest and Sleep Talk. If I had a strong partner set with Wide Guard, I could opt for this. As long as Sceptile is protected, he's very powerful.

Sceptile @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Careful Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Sleep Talk
- Leech Seed
- Rest

Update for my grass type collection! I'll be showing an in-game image when I complete it! SO CLOSE.

How about a new sub-topic?
If you were going to play a Grass Monotype, what would your team consist of and what moves would each one have? I wanna hear some answers before I give mine!;)

 

[Mawa]

I don't have much time to think about the moves and stuff, so I'll go with the Pokemon I like ^_^

1. Sceptile
2. Serperior
3. Leafeon
4. Victreebell
5. Leavanny
6. Sawsbuck

 

[DarkestMidnight]

I'll just say which Pokemon I'd like in my party for now, not their movesets:

1. Sceptile
2. Torterra
3. Amoongus
4. Parasect
5. Exeggutor
6. Seviper

If I were to put in more time, I might have chosen different Pokemon, but these were the first to come to my mind.

Reason For Joining The Club: Grass type Pokemon are my favorite because green is my favorite color.
Answer To The Current Topic: My all time favorite grass type starter has to be Treecko. I just think it, and its evolutions, have the best designs. The colors are just right, and the shiny forms look fantastic as well.

Welcome to the Club!

Treecko is my favourite Starter as well and the Shiny Colours look great on all 3 stages with my favourite of the three being the small Wood Gecko Pokémon himself. :)

I have played several Grass Monotypes already and have completed a Grass Monotype in Red, Heart Gold, Pearl, White 2 and Y so far and am currently doing a Grass Monotype of White. :)

Team:

Vileplume - The Rafflesia Pokémon has been the star of two Monotypes (Red and Heart Gold) and has been always reliable and able to take a hit too.
Moveset - Petal Dance, Sludge Bomb, Grassy Terrain, Toxic.

Roserade - Weather Ball is an excellent move in any Monotype and with TMs being reusable in Gens 5 and 6 she can hit practically any threat. Sludge Bomb and Petal Dance as well. Star of my Pearl Monotype.
Moveset - Rain Dance/Sunny Day, Sludge Bomb/Dazzling Gleam, Weather Ball, Petal Dance

Sceptile - A fast Pokémon on a largely slow team. Also a Physical Attacker and potential Mega.
Moveset - Leaf Blade, Outrage, X Scissor, Swords Dance.

Lilligant - Sleep Powder, Quiver Dance, Petal Dance. She was the star in my White 2 Monotype and I was not going to leave my favourite Pokemon out.
Moveset - Sleep Powder, Petal Dance, Quiver Dance, Dream Eater.

Trevenant - Ghost Typing gives type coverage and also learns Psychic to deal with Poison Types. Also a Physical Attacker.
Moveset - Wood Hammer, Psychic, Shadow Claw, Forests Curse

Breloom - Fighting Typing to deal with Ice Types along with Dark Types and gets Spore too. The Mushroom Pokémon was very useful in my White 2 Monotype.
Moveset - Spore, Sky Uppercut, Seed Bomb, Focus Punch

Gogoat which is a really good tank that can learn good coverage moves like Surf and Earthquake as well as recovery moves like Milk Drink

Item: Leftovers

Chesnaught who is again a really good bulky mon Spiky shield s such a good move cause of protecting and damaging the opponent if a physical move is used

Item: Black Belt

Gorgeist has good priority and is pretty fast
Moveset: Seed Bomb, Phantom Force, Bullet Seed, Shadow Sneak
Item: Spell Tag

Vileplume same reasons mentions by Charmed Grady and a very good Fairy counter
Moveset: Petal Blizzard, Dazzling Gleam, Venoshock, Poison Powder

Moveset: Ice Beam, Ice Shard, Blizzard, Wood Hammer
Item: Abomasite

After doing an ultimate grass mono, my ideal team would probably be my StormSilver team.

Specs Roserade
Band Torterra
50% Crit Leafeon
Dual-Screens Meganium [sue me]
Swift Swim Ludicolo
Spore/Punch Breloom

This team was freaking amazing. Meganium and Torterra split the full-run MVP honors, Ludicolo dispatched any obnoxious Fire types, Specs Roserade did what Specs Roserade does best, Breloom was the MVP of the Red fight, and Leafeon cleaned up everyone else's mess (they made a lot of messes). Pre-E4 access to the Frontier was huge for the Choice items and that useless Scope Lens.
