>>28093729So far I've completed:
>Grass-type run of HG>Ground-type run of B2>Water-type run of SapphireOf everything, I'd say Grass was by far the toughest type to beat a main story with. They have the absolutely worst selection of moves and if you limit yourself to the ones just available in-game (esp. during Gen I or Gen II) you're going to have a terrible time.
Falkner and Bugsy were actually tough and I had a completely fucked up time beating Claire without any Ice or Dragon moves at my disposable. This was years back, but I remember abusing the shit out of Sleep Powder, Spore, and poison status.
At some point, I think I had to "break" and give my trainer a Sudowoodo and pretend "he was retarded" just so I wouldn't get wrecked by all of Grass-type's weaknesses.
My final team was something like:
-Meganium (defensive wall)
-Victreebel (physical sweeper)
-Vileplume (special attacker/support)
-Sunflora (fluff/useless, swapped for Sudo)
-Sudowoodo (tried to use as minimally as possible, swapped for Sunflora)
-Jumpluff (scout/support)
-Parasect (Spore and bug-type support)
I refused to trade over anything, even a Bulbasaur. It was hell.
