Explain this
>>32572444
There are a lot of reasons for it not to be Grass, but Nihilego is a Rock type so I don't fucking know anymore.
>>32572444
cus ur gay
>>32572444
Because it isn't a tree or plant at all. It just resembles one.
>>32572444
It's a bunch of wires that looks like a tree. Think of it as an electric Sudowoodo, pretty sure Sudo gets Wood Hammer too.
>>32572452
Cause its glass, u dig. Its like an animated glass thing
>has no plant matter
wow that was easy.
Grass Electric would've made it much more suceptible to grass' weaknesses (obviously) making it far harder for Xurkitree to pull off a sweep with its 83 speed while worrying about Ice, Fire, Bug, Poison all at once.
Only having to look out for ground is arguably easier because Xurkitree can ride it out with air balloon or try and tank it with a Berry if it's EVd well in its defensive stats or, the threat can often be elimated due to most ground types being slow enough to be KOed by energy ball (execept garchomp)
Finally with Xurkitrees sky high attack and boosting ability the extra STAB wouldn't even be worth it because either landing a tail glow or a KO would boost the move to STAB levels of damage or above anyway.
>>32572459
Same goes for Cradily.
>>32572487
The only canon grass/electric, rotom mow, doesn't have any plant matter either.
>>32572444
It came from another dimension.
Maybe the 'trees' from that world are not made from wood and look like a mess of fairy lights?
>>32572444
It's circuitry
>>32572444
Pence thread?
>>32572516
Except not?
>>32572566
the grass inside the lawn mower it controls is the plant matter. Also it wasn't even originally Electric/Grass.
>sudowoodo looks like a tree

GUYS!!!1!
>>32572706
>sudo
>psuedo
>false
That is its entire gimmick.
>>32572706
sudowoodo's case is different; its whole gimmick is NOT being a grass type despite looking like one.
Xurkitree's gimmick isn't based around not being a grass type, it just isn't because reasons
What if in Ultra Space all plant matter is electric, so there he's effectively a grass type
>a bunch of copper wire
>grass
>>32572724
>it just isn't because reasons
It isn't because it isn't actually made of plants or fungi you retard.
>>32572764
Whose to say that it isn't in the UB universe?
>>32572945
Who says it isn't a bug in the UB universe?
>looks like a nigger
>isn't a dark type
Explain this
>>32573025
>>32572945
Who's to say that it is in the UB universe?
See why your logic doesn't work retard? Also why did you make this thread AGAIN after you were already proven wrong?
>>32572459
Amoongus?
>>32573514
Amoongus is an actual mushroom though, it doesn't just resemble it.
But why GF associate fungi with Grass is beyond me.
>>32572444
Already 2 grass UBs. 3 would be a lot
>>32573616
There's only 1 Grass UB my guy, Kartana.

I didn't make this thread.
>>32573992
Your post still sucked.
>>32572698
Sea lilies are animals. It would've taken you a few minutes to google what Cradily is based on.
>>32572724
Xurkitree is a subset of the UB overall theme of having strange types

>Rock/Poison
>Celesteela is a bamboo tree/space rocket
>Steel/Flying/not Grass
>Kartana is literally origami
>Grass/Steel
>Xurkitree is a bundle of cables that behaves like a tree
>Electric/not Grass
>>32572764
Neither is Lileep or Cradily.
>>32574059
Out of those Nihilego is the only weird one. And that's because its body doesn't behave like glass at all which is what it is supposed to be made out of.
>>32574094
I think it's supposed to be like glass in the malleable and translucent sense
>>32574169
But the thing is that glass isn't malleable but extremely brittle. It will rather shatter than bend. When glass is melted and becomes malleable it is by definition no longer glass .
>>32572715
>psuedo
/vp/ is illiterate. Completely and terribly illiterate. I don't mean spelling something incorrectly here or there, or not knowing a quadrisyllabic word. I mean that this board, centered around a game that touts itself as helping young children read, cannot even spell the names of the majority of the monsters that are its subject. People will spell names of Pokémon and characters incorrectly on a regular basis, and be unable to comprehend even slightly more advanced sentence structures. This board is filled with people whose intelligence, when measured on a metric of the ability to read and comprehend written language, would be far below the average in any first world country, and arguably 4chan as a whole. Why is this? Is the absurd nature of the Pokémon series affecting your ability to read? Perhaps because Pokémon attracts autists (colloquial jargon so adequate in this situation,) we have people who spend more time memorizing charts than how to properly read them. However, people with autism actually typically score higher on IQ tests and reading comprehension tests, so it doesn't make much sense to label that as the reason. I'm completely astounded by the collective lack of knowledge that this board displays.
>>32574066
You don't know that.
>>32574059
What part of "Glass-like body" do you not understand?
>>32574200
It's a Pokemon. It probably uses some sort of Rock Type energy to bend its limbs.
>>32574094
The description points out it's similar to glass but the shape is constantly changing.
So somehow it's very flexible glass or like those transparent novelty pencils.
>>32574059
>>Kartana is literally origami
>>Grass/Steel
and paper comes from...?
>>32574274
The concept art says part of it is firm and like frosted glass.
>>32574059
>Celesteela is a bamboo tree/space rocket
>Steel/Flying/not Grass
Princess Kaguya was found in a bamboo stalk but wasn't a plant. Not being a grass type makes sense.
>it poses like a tree so that must mean it should be a grass type! xD
I refuse to believe underagefags on this board are this stupid.
