Most Grass types don't have limbs. More of them need to get Earth Power though.

I mean more grass types should get more Ground, Fairy, Poison, and MAYBE Bug moves.

When's the last time they made a non starter grass type that wasn't some effeminate plant with dots for eyes? What happened to grass types like Shiftry?

Because Grass types get privileged access to recovery. No other type has such reliable access to recovery.

Hidden Power's functionality can be replaced by giving Pokemon coverage moves that are thematically appropriate, such as how they gave Fairy types Mystical Fire and gave Venusaur Earth Power. Sword/Shield already did a lot of stuff like this.

Gourgeist is borderline but the others are nothing like you describe. I'd say Grass has been getting its share of good designs in later gens, particularly when you factor in how the Grass starters compare to the others. Although I also dislike the token waifu/delicate Grass mons, Roserade and maybe Tsareena aside.

Lots of pokemon get healing moves, from my perspective the reason why a decent number of Special Grass Pokemon have bad movepools is because they wanted them to be more supportive/status based rather than offensive. Its why Eldegoss and Lilligant don't have any coverage options like their Physical brethren, they get Sleep Powder and Stun Spore which is supposed to make up for that lack of move options.

Dhelmise is the seaweed though. That's like saying Komala is the log.

To give credit to the Blood Waifu: Quiver Dance + Sleep Powder is good, it's just walled out by so much because its only options for moves are Giga Drain, Petal Dance, or Energy Ball. Hidden Power (and Z-Moves) was its saving grace in that it could somewhat counter its weaknesses but now that it's gone...

I just hate the way it looks. It may be my random shiny encounter, but that doesn't prevent me from liking its appearance. Just like in pearl where I encountered a random shiny raticate. I'm glad to encounter one, but if it's a pokemon like that I don't particularly care too much for them.

No they don't.
Most grass types don't even learn recover, and synthesis is weather-dependent.
