>>54835191Grass is Ass. fun for a challenge/handicap.
I used it in Sapphire once and was shocked at how bad it was, probably the worst starter I have personally used. It relies on pound for way too long and gets walled by Wattson. He then gets walled again by Flannery but worse. By Winona its less of a problem because more party members are available but DAMN.
Grass is hard mode more often than not, (at least it was in my experience with Snivy and Rowlet) Snivy is a good comparison actually. a monograss starter that is the backbone of a playthrough, but needs a lot of help. Except that Serperior was like a suicide lead or a cleanup crew most of the time, Sceptile was like a liability. Meanwhile Blaziken feels like Goku/superman with the rest of the party being Krillin/aquaman along for the ride.
Combusken and Marshtomp are honestly beasts, they solo Hoenn. Starters are always good but those two are some of THE BEST and encounter very little resistance throughout their games. They make Treeko look especially bad.
