Our grass Pokémon weakness guide will lay waste to any creature standing in your way. The Grass Pokémon type is a classic within the franchise, but despite its age, we can often forget just how powerful Grass type Pokémon can be. So, don’t step out into the wild without a plan, we’re here to help.

Anyway, let’s get into our grass Pokémon weakness guide.

What are grass Pokémon weaknesses?

Grass Pokémon are extremely weak against Flying Pokémon, Fire Pokémon, Ice Pokémon, Bug Pokémon, and Poison Pokémon. Don’t worry if you need an assist with some lean, mean, green foes. As you may know, each major game in the series begins with a starter Pokémon. Going forward it is essential to know how to counter other Pokémon types, as it can often be a dance-like routine combatting them.

No matter what Pokémon you come up against, if you think it might have a move belonging to one of the types above, it’s always a good idea to switch out into something that can tank a hit rather than let your grass-type wither.

What are grass Pokémon resistances?

If you need to counter a water-, ground-, or electric-type Pokémon, that’s where the grass-type shines. Unlike other typings, there isn’t an immunity for grass Pokémon, but with the amount of different Pokémon species under the three types grass resists, it’s always a good idea to have a grass Pokémon in your party of six.

What are grass Pokémon strengths?

While grass Pokémon might have plenty of weakness, they do at least have a few typings that they hit for double damage, exploiting the ground Pokémon weakness, water Pokémon weakness, and rock Pokémon weakness. Remember, if a Pokémon has dual typing like ground/water or rock/ground, grass hits for four times damage, so watch out for those matchups.
