*A Freshly Scented Garden* Grass-type Club

Rain T. said:
Mega Venusaur is my favorite, mostly due to its Thick Fat ability, which nulls the effectiveness of Fire and Ice, leaving it weak only to Flying and Psychic, as the Poison typing nulls Poison and Bug. A nice set of moves for Mega Venusaur would be Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Sludge Bomb. Or (for people like me who just prefer power/plain offense) Toxic, Venoshock, Earthquake, and Petal Blizzard.

Thick Fat definitely makes Mega Venusaur very strong. I like your movesets too, they look pretty solid.

What is your favourite Grass Type Mega? What moveset would you use?

Whilst I have used all three Grass Type Megas my favourite of the three is most definitely Sceptile. The Grass/Dragon typing of Mega Sceptile is unique and gives him STAB on moves like Dragon Claw and Outrage. I also have the good fortune of having a Shiny Female Sceptile I obtained in a trade.

I feel Sceptile in general favours a Physical Moveset so I would use the following moveset: Leaf Blade, Swords Dance, Dragon Claw and Earthquake.

With the introduction of Fairy-types Outrage is a very dangerous move to be locked into hence the use of Dragon Claw.

Unova Grass Monotype Update - Trainer Phoebe

My Unova White Monotype is now complete.

Here is my team:

My next and final Grass Monotype will be of Alpha Sapphire and the Hoenn region.

Sceptile is definitely a great mega. Aside from it being dragon-type, it also has very high speed stats. Also, as you may know, my favorite grass-type Pokemon is Sceptile, so I can definitely get on board with your opinion.

As to your Unova White Monotype, congrats on finishing that! I want to do a monotype soon, probably a grass-type one.

P.S. I believe I've posted more than 8 times now, shouldn't that that be enough to evolve my club campaign Treecko into a Grovyle? If I didn't meet some kind of requirement, that's fine, I'm just curious. I don't mean to be pushy or anything.

Thanks again!

I have never had much experience with Grass-type Megas in-game, given Mega Abomasnow is the only one I used from a casual experience so far. But don't get me wrong, it's a cool Mega.

My fave of the three is Venusaur, because I kinda love tanky Pokemon and Thick Fat removing two of its weaknesses makes it quite hard to take down.

Yes. Sceptile was the first Grass Starter I ever chose and other than Lilligant is my favourite Grass Type.

If you plan to do a Grass Monotype I suggest Kalos or Sinnoh as I found them to be the easiest particularly Sinnoh. Indeed in my Pearl Grass Monotype I hit no real roadblocks until I reached Elite Four Member Lucian. Cynthia was also surprisingly easy, especially with an Abomasnow.

I also suggest steering clear of Johto for a Grass Monotype especially if you stick to what you can catch in game like I did. Lance without a Ludicolo or Abomasnow is very hard indeed not to mention the insane amount of grinding for Red.

Note: I have had a look and you have 17 posts in this club so I will evolve your Treecko into Grovyle. Please choose a second Pokémon for your team.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely avoid Johto and I might go for Platinum, because it's kind of my comfort game.

Also, thanks! I didn't mean to seem pushy or anything, I was just trying to clear that up. As for a second Pokémon, I think I'll take a Turtwig.

Thanks again!

Let's not let this garden wilt due to neglect! How about another sub-topic? Create your own Grass type attack! I'm fairly certain this hasn't been done before, and even if it has, well...embrace your creativity!

Name: Calming Seed
Category: Status
PP: 10
Power: --
Accuracy: 100%
Target: Anyone adjacent to user.

I was looking over existing Grass type moves and realized that, for all the Status devastation they can cause, there's only two that can put opponents to sleep, and both have undesirable accuracy, with Grass Whistle at 55% and Sleep Powder at 75%. So I wanted to make a Sleep-inducing move that was more reliable. The result? A sort of parallel to Worry Seed.

Good idea! I've always hated the unreliability of grass-type sleep-inducing moves, so I always use Dark Void instead. Calming Seed would definitely make for a good grass-type move.

Btw I like your Slugterra stuff, I remember watching that a while ago, and I thought it was cool. Are they still making new episodes? I haven't been following the series for a while, so maybe you could fill me in.

P.S. I changed my nickname to Midnight because I found out that TempestGaming already exists. I also just think it sounds better and matches me more. Just wanted to make sure you knew.

Activity sure exploded in the few weeks I was gone! I'll try to answer a few topics. Let's see...

Grass-type ability
I'm not really sure. I'll probably go with Bulletproof if that counts. A lot of this might stem from something silly that happened: I was in the Battle Maison with pokémon from my in-game team. My chesnaught was walled by a Bulletproof quilladin, ironically! I guess my moveset must've been Spiky Shield, Leech Seed, Seed Bomb, and Bulk Up or something. Haha! It probably helps that I absolutely adore the chespin family.

Grass-type mega
I've never used a mega. Well, that's not entirely true, since I used a mega alakazam "competitively" just because it was shiny. But yeah, my in-game runs never allowed me to use a mega (Kalosian pokémon only in X and Y, unevolved pokémon in OR). That said, I suppose I like Mega Sceptile the most for its design.

New grass-type move
Hmm, good question. Maybe something like a reverse entry hazard?

Name: Heal Sprout
Category: Status
PP: 10
Power: --
Accuracy: 100
Target: User's side of the field
Description: The user grows a small field of sprouts that heals some HP upon switching out.

Or maybe it should be switching in? I don't know, I haven't figured out the details. :P

Well there's Spore, but that doesn't exactly have widespread distribution huh?

I don't think this topic has been done before but I do like the idea of Calming Seed. Sleep is a very useful move for the Grass Type and I can see some of the 'softer' Grass Type Pokemon like Lilligant, Bellossom and Whimsicott using Calming Seed...even if Prankster Whimsicott having a sleep move might be broken.

Answer to Topic

Name - Floral Barrier
PP - 15
Effect - Increases Special Defense for five turns and blocks all water moves
Learnt by - Any Grass Type that has a Flower as part of its design. (And Florges)

I am not a competitive player so am unsure how this would be used but I feel this could be a small upgrade on Light Screen for Grass Types.

I will get that changed when I update the OP tonight. A small note on Platinum, the third Sinnoh Game has a larger variety of Fire Types than Diamond and Pearl which has just the Rapidash and Chimchar lines. Oddly however Cynthia's Garchomp actually has a higher level in Diamond and Pearl.

I also have a Shiny Mega Alakazam (Nostradamus) that I caught as an Abra in the Friend Safari. I like both the Shiny Pink accents of Alakazam's regular form and the purple accents in his Mega.

A Healing Entry hazard on your side of the field is a good idea. Perhaps it could be stacked for greater healing.

I think Shroomish, The Amoongus line and the Paras line are the only Pokemon to learn Spore which other than Dark Void which is exclusive to the event Pokémon Darkrai is the only 100% accuracy sleep move.

Woah. Pokemon, Fairy Tail, RWBY, and Slugterra I think I've found a new best friend! {XD} They're set to start making new episodes some time after the fourth movie shows, which is soon, I think. I can send you a PM with more details when I have the time later.

Oh, I like that move. Good idea. And to be honest, I completely forgot about Spore. Probably because there's so few that can learn it.

Maybe it would encourage me to use Whimsicott, whom I've never used before. Hard to turn down something like that.

You've got a nice move too. I'd certainly use it. Probably in double battles, with a flowering Grass type (or Florges) and something weak to Water, for the protection.

I actually haven't watched much of Slugterra and I'm not a superfan or anything, but I did think it was a cool idea and I definitely watched it a lot when it first came out. I forgot to answer your topic last time, so here goes nothing:

Name: Bramble Hurricane
Category: Special
PP: 5
Power: 140
Accuracy: 80%
Target: All opponents
Additional Effects: 20% chance to make opponents flinch. If this attack is the first move of its turn, there is a 20% chance to place Spikes under the opposite team's feet. Requires one turn for cool down.

Muahaha OP grass-type attacks!! Okay, I'll do another one that's more legit. I kinda like this idea though, it's pretty cool.

Here's a legit one:

Name: Seeds of Life
Category: Status
PP: 5
Power: --
Accuracy: 100%
Target: Self
Effects: Weakens fire and ice-type moves by 50% for 3 turns. Also eliminates all status effects for 3 turns.

I feel like we currently lack a move like this for grass-type Pokemon, and I think it would make for a good defensive move, especially in tournaments.

Hope you like these ideas, talk to you later.

Perfect, thank you! I like your move idea as well. It's very similar to Light Screen, but with some interesting additional effects. The only thing I wonder is why you chose for it to block water-type moves rather than fire or ice.

Anyways, thanks again. I'll talk to you again soon.

I thought this one up a while ago:

Name: Solar Blade
Category: Physical
PP: 15
Power: 85
Accuracy: 90%
Target: Anyone adjacent to user.
May cause a burn.

I was thinking about how there aren't any damaging Grass-type moves that can also inflict poison or burn, so I invented this one.

I actually like the concept you thought of with this one, plus I do feel we need more physical Grass attacks as if we haven't got enough already.

Oooh kind of like a grass-type version of Scald. I like that idea, it seems like it'd be very useful.

Having the flowers block water instead of ice or fire makes sense from a realistic sense. Ice and fire hurts the majority of flowers.

I recently caught a Shiny Hoppip in a Hoard recently. It has a Naive Nature and solid stats. Surprisingly both Shiny Skiploom and Shiny Jumpluff are both pink in their Shiny form.

My Shiny Hoppip is now a Shiny Pink Jumpluff although somewhat disappointingly he is male.

Hey, congrats on the Shiny! I have a friend that's a total Shiny hunter and it's crazy to see what he finds sometimes.

I have devised a new Grass Type Move based somewhat off a character in a franchise I have been playing a lot recently.

Name: 1000 needles
PP - 10
Type - Status
Accuracy - 95%
Learnt by - Cacnea, Cacturne, Maractus
Move Effect - The opposing Pokemon has their Defense and Special Defense lowered by two stages. This move also bypasses Protect, Detect and similar.

This could also work as a straight up one hit KO move with the accuracy problems it entails.

New Topic

There is currently only one Electric/Grass Pokémon (Rotom-Mow) in the series.

Design a new potential Electric/Grass Type. What will it look like? What moves will it have? Would it be obtainable early game or late game?
 
It's been a while since I haven'T answer here :k

For an electric/grass,... I was thinking about that lately! I wish the new starters will have uncommon types, and Grass/electric was one I was thinking about!
But I honestly have no idea of what we could have...

Maybe an animal based creature who'll have these types...

Seriously.. no idea! (I wouldn't guess a lawnmower in the first place either XD)
