Nature Burst
110 power

this move may lower opponent's special attack (10%)

Just to give them their own fire blast/hydro pump equivalent move

Give Carnivine and the Bellsprout line an ability that reverses Bug/Grass effectiveness. It won't help Grass types but it'll help my autism.

hi

Grass is fine, Water, Ground, and Electric resistances are all very good

It has five weaknesses, but Bug and Poison are shit, so that just leaves Fire, Flying, and Ice

Make a move that is super effective against fire, ice, flying, poison, or bug and can be learned by many grass types. A lot of fire types get grass type moves to counter their weaknesses and nearly every water type gets ice beam, so do the same for grass. Rock is good against 4/5 of grass weaknesses, so that could be an option.

Something involving moss maybe?

What's your point

Grass is one of the better types though. Resisting the two best all around types in the game as well as electric is great.
>>
>>32334350
You don't know how to use Effect Spore, do you?
>>
The reason grass is seen as a shitty type is because omst grass types, especially offensive ones, have a shitty movepool with little to no usable coverage. It's sort of the opposite of the dragon type pre-fairies in that it was a rather mediocre type that seemed amazing because it had so many powerful mons with wide movepools.

Grass should have been resistant to Fairy instead of Fire, it makes more sense imo.
>>
>>32334488
He would be better without fairy type. He doesn't even get fairy STAB and it would reduce his 4x poison weakness.

Legendary literally means nothing except stats. You could reduce 30 SpA to give him a non-legendary 540 BST, and he wouldn't change a bit.

You just proved my point you massive retard. Judging anything in Pokemon in a vacuum is fucking stupid. Every mon is a combination of type, stats, ability, moveset, niche etc. You might as well say fire and ground type are shit because Camerupt sucks.
>>
>>32334647
>implying all pokemon only have a single niche
>>
>>32334221
Make it so that every type and it's mother doesn't resist it.

Camerupt is the fire/ground representation of grass as a whole.

Anon,only 3 fire type lines get a good grass type move.

Unfortunately for you, and thanks to you, grass type will never improve. Enjoy eating your own shit, grass cuck.

Yeah, buffing things for absolutely no reason is much better.

whut
>>
>>32334580
There are grass types in this thread that legit justify grass, but that anon is right, there's a difference between being good BECAUSE of a type and being good IN SPITE of a type.

Gen far was ou for 7 gens IN SPITE of being a poison type, it isn't good because of being a poison type (with all the fairies that's not as true any more) but gengar was never proof that poison was a good type.

If gamefreak invented an ice type with base 800 stats and an ability that auto set icy terrain that doubled the defenses of ice types and gave that Pokémon an incredible movepool, that wouldn't make ice a good defensive type
>>
>>32334882
Who said ice needs to be a good defensive type? Every type has strengths that a good mon will be built around. Does anyone complain about Fighting being a terrible defensive type? Defensive ice may even be a viable concept if something was built around Aurora Veil.

Again, types don't exist in a vacuum. A type may have few resists or super effectives, but the ones it has may be very common or threatening. It may have more weaknesses, but also usually has access to moves like recovery and status. None of this shit is self-contained and should not be looked at that way.
>>
Resist or be immune to fairy
Be super effective against steel
Maybe resist rock (sorry rock types) too?
>>
>>32334956
>Who said ice needs to be a good defensive type?

GF apparently. GF keeps making defensive mons for ice despite Ice being the weakest defensive type by far.
