>>19991401Water is just as bad as Grass, if not worse. Grass types are now immune to now immune to powder and spore moves, which is big. Both Grass and Water have 4 resistances, but Grass is strong against 2 of those, while Water only against Fire. In return Grass has only a little bit more weaknesses and is resisted by a little bit more types.
Not that it matters since both Grass and Water are utter shit compared to Fire who is always the best starter type. There is a reason why in Twin Peaks the Pokemon trainers had a saying "Fire, walk with me" - it means that you should always pick Fire as your starter Pokemon because it's the best type available to you at the stat. And yes, this includes Cyndaquil (fuck the haters).
