| - Grass Pokémon usually have a weakness to:
* Fire (if the Pokémon is a Grass or Bug type)
* Psychic (if the Pokémon is a Poison type) Grass Pokémon usually have a resistance to:
* Fighting (if the Pokémon is a Bug type)
* Water (if the Pokémon is a Grass type)
- Grass is one of the three Starter types, forming a perfectly triangular relationship with Fire and Water. Many Grass types are based on real-world plants and fungi; many such Pokémon also belong to the Plant egg group. Several Grass types are paired with the Poison type, reflecting the toxicity of several plants towards mainly humans. It is worth noting that the first five Grass-type starter lines are based on prehistoric or current species of reptile. Most Grass-types can learn "seed", "spore" or "powder" moves that inflict status (usually Poison, Paralysis or Sleep), including a unique type of status caused by Leech Seed; thus, many Grass-types employ a passive style of play during battle. In terms of direct attacks, Grass-types drain with moves like Giga Drain, or attack with leaves, vines, petals, wood or sunlight. Famous Grass-type Pokémon Trainers include Erika, fourth Gym Leader of the Kanto region; Gardenia, the second Gym Leader of Sinnoh; Cilan, one of the three Striaton Gym Leaders in Unova; Ramos, the fourth Gym Leader of the Kalos region; and Mallow, an Akala Island Trial Captain in Alola.
