>>58141794Grass needs type-matchup buffs.
Of the starter types, Grass is by far the weakest, being the only one with more types that resist it than it can hit super-effectively, and it has more weaknesses than it does resistances.
>Grass is offensively strong against 3 types, resisted by 7 types; Defensively resists 4 types, weak to 5 types.>Fire is offensively strong against 4 types, resisted by 4 types; Defensively resists 6 types, weak to 3 types.>Water is offensively strong against 3 types, resisted by 3 types; Defensively resists 4 types, weak to 2 types.Grass should be super-effective against, and resist, both Ghost and Fairy.
In folklore, plant-based things like dreamcatchers are used to ward off spirits and the like.
So it would thematically make sense for Grass to repel and be strong against some spirit-like types, being Ghost and Fairy.
Both of these types are considered some of the strongest in the entire game, so giving them a slight nerf while buffing Grass seems fair to me.
>Buh buh buh muh Powder and Spore move immunities!Yeah and Fire's immune to Burns. And both Fire and Water have real weather (Not terrains) that boost their types by 50%.
Give Grass some love.
