Along with all powder moves now, they're trying to throw them a bone here and there.
It's just that they keep entirely forgetting how shitty they made the typing in general be "balanced" by having common resists combined with a bunch of semi-uncommon weaknesses.
By buffing anything else, you inadvertently nerf Grass. Dragon is too strong so we get more ice representation on most water types? Fuck Grass. Steel resists everything? Fuck Grass. Make cool and more abundant bug types? Fuck grass. Make offensive Poison more prominent? Fuck Grass. Make Flying types useful than levitators finally? Fuck Grass.
Really they bit themselves in the ass when they made the initial type matchups for it, since that was technically balanced back then. Now the weaknesses are more prominent and you really notice those.
