>Posting one of the few actually good Grass types
Anyway, I like it as the underdog type and it's cool to see the few Grass mons that actually manage to be good somehow.

Game Freak doesn't give two shits about Grass, have fun in hell my man.
>>
i don't understand exactly what makes grass a shit type, it has pretty good moves
>>
>>26763021
It has no relevancy in the meta besides countering Water. Barely has any good Pokemon, meanwhile types like Dragon have many, too.

Make it resist fairy.
>>
>>26761123
We don't. Grass type is supposed to be the loser's choice by design.
>>
Make it resistant or Immune to Fairy.
>>
Remove nonsense Flying weakness.
>>
>>26761123
Remove flying weakness and make it resist fairy
>>
>>26761123
you need to be fixed
>>
>>26761123
Still better than Ice type. Also take away the flying weakness.
>>
>>26762994
Unfortunately, it seems like Mega Venusaur's slowly losing ground to Tangrowth and Amoonguss these days.
>>
>>26763063
Now which is worse weakness wise. Venusaur or Charizard?

Charizard has these weaknesses
Water 2x
Electric 2x
Rock 4x

Venusaur has
Fire 2x
Ice 2x
Flying 2x
Psychic 2x

Venusaur has 4 weaknesses and Charizard has 3 but has a 4x weakness.

Flying should neither resist it nor be strong against it.
>>
>>26764090
Doesnt mean it's not good.

And really, Tangrowth? Tangrowth has more weaknesses, worse SpD, and worse offensive stats.

Buff the BP of Giga Drain to be in line with Flamethrower and Ice Beam. (75 -> 90)

Create a grass-type equivalent of Fire Blast and put Leaf Storm back to 140 BP.

Sleep Powder and Stun Spore now have 80% accuracy.

Grass Whistle now has 70% accuracy and works through substitute.

Ingrain now restores 1/8th HP per turn.

Needle Arm is now a grass-type Hammer Arm.

Leech Seed now has 100% accuracy.

Power Whip now has 90% accuracy.

Grass is now effective on flying.
Grass now resists fairy.

Now it should be at least a LITTLE better, it can serve as a better defensive type since it's one of the few types to resist Fairy and having better spammable moves+hitting the ever-present Flying neutral means it can be okay offensively too. Buffing the accuracy of powder moves makes them not entirely useless.
>>
>>26764209
Sleep Powder is already a god tier move on everything who gets it though.
>>
>>26761123
I think they should give grass pokemon a secondary typing that compounds their weakness against a common coverage type. Also grass will always be shit while steel is op.
>>
>>26764235
>Sleep Powder is already a god tier move
yeah, wew, that Thunder-tier accuracy sure is awesome.

Not to mention all grass types and various other random stuff with Overcoat are straight up immune to them now.
>>
>>26764184
Assault Vest Tangrowth with regenerator. It has lots of bulk and heals itself by switching.
>>
>>26761830
This, why do the other elements get to be neutral/se while grass gets buttfucked?

And while you're at it remove one of its 5 (FIVE) weaknesses
>>
>>26764105
>Stealth Rock
>>
>>26764319
Well there is Rock slide too which everything seems to carry these days. also HP rock
>>
>>26764105
Charizard (mega, at least) actually has sweeper stats to go along with its typings (fire is supereffective against steel, a GOOD typing).

Same with other fire types like Talonflame and Volcarona despite the existence of stealth rocks

Grass is weak to too many things to be defensive. It's not complete shit like ice, but grass types have been gimped out of a good special attack (Sceptile was first grass pokemon to have a decent STAB move in the form of Leaf Blade, then energy ball finally came at 4th gen) and have shitty coverage.

Give grass types more moves exclusive to their type, nerf ice beam/make it a "beginner" attack so it's no longer in the same tier as flamethrower/surf/psychic/thunderbolt, and make a new reliable, strong special attack ice move that only ice types can learn, so grass types can actually counter water pokemon

Mega Venusaur though does make a good tank as thick fat takes away 2 weaknesses of it. Also it is a good counter to Mega Charizard if you run it right like in this video

>Charizard's 100 base Speed somehow slower than Venusaur's 80 base Speed
>Inferno
Not even saying that Sleep Powder M-Venusaur couldnt win but that video is retarded.

Fuck off with these terrible "nerf water" fucktard suggestions.

You do realize that's what they intended Solar Beam to be?
>>
>>26762774
This works for me.
