How do you beat a Plant type?

To beat a Plant-type Pokémon, you have to make the most of your 5 weaknesses. Each of these types deals ×2 damage, which is often enough to turn the tide of battle quickly.

Fire type

The attacks of the type Fire are one of the best choices for defeating a Grass-type Pokémon, with ×2 damage guaranteed.

Dracaufeu Where Typhlosion get the job done without any trouble. Carmadura, such as Fire/Steel, is also particularly formidable in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Ice type

The attacks of the type Ice are also super efficient and inflict ×2 damage. Grass-type Pokémon are very vulnerable to this type of attack.

This is a practical weakness to exploit, since many Pokémon of the Water naturally learn Ice-type moves.

The Poison-type

The attacks of the type Poison also inflict ×2 damage a Grass-type Pokémon. Be careful, though, of Pokémon Plant/Poison as Florizarre Where Rafflesia : their double type changes their resistors and can be a game-changer.

The Insect type

A insect type also inflicts ×2 damage Grass-type Pokémon. Parasect is a special case: of the type Insect/Plant, it combines the weaknesses of both sides.

Beyond these typical weaknesses, the type Plant has another weakness: it relies heavily on the weather in combat.

  • In this kind of weather sunny, his attacks such as Sun Launcher are gaining momentum.
  • Without the sun, that same Sun Launcher requires a charge, which makes it predictable and easy to counter.

All about the Plant-type Pokémon

the type Plant is part of 18 types present since the first generation. It is also one of the three pillars of the starter triangle, with Fire and Water. Plant overpowers Water, Water extinguishes Fire, and Fire burns Plant: this is often the first example of elemental effectiveness that a player learns with Bulbizarre.

Defensively, the Plante type isn't the strongest. His statistics remain average, and he's dragging his feet 5 weaknesses up against so many guys. On the other hand, he still has some real resistors facing four guys.

Finally, a double-type It changes everything. A combination like Plant/Poison Where Plant/Theft changes the list of weaknesses: some cancel each other out, while others accumulate, depending on the second type.

How resistant are plant-type Pokémon?

the type Plant withstands certain attacks with only ½ damage, making it a solid defense against several types. Here are the resistances you need to know to effectively play a Grass-type Pokémon like Florizarre Where Méganium.

Water type

The attacks of the type Water only do ½ damage a Grass-type Pokémon. This makes sense in terms of type mechanics: plants feed on water, which makes them naturally resistant to that type.

The Sol type

The same goes for the attacks of the type Floor, cut in half. The roots rooted in the earth, they clearly explain this resistance within the logic of the types.

Electric-type and Grass-type

Grass-type Pokémon are also resistant to attacks of the type Électrik, which do nothing but ½ damage. They are also resistant to Plant-type attacks As a result, two Grass-type Pokémon fighting each other do very little damage to one another.

Strong against the Roche guy

On offense, the Plant Attacks are super efficient against Roche type, with ×2 damage. That's what makes a Grass-type Pokémon effective in attack, despite its defensive weaknesses.

Which types are stronger than plant-type Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Good news: the table of 18 types hasn't moved in Pokémon Écarlate et Violet. The strengths and weaknesses of the type Plant They therefore remain the same as those of previous generations.

On defense, here are the 5 Super-Effective Types against a Grass-type Pokémon (×2 damage) :

  • The type Fire
  • The type Flight
  • The type Bug
  • The type Poison
  • The type Ice

the type Plant remains, however, resistant these 4 types (½ damage) :

  • The type Water
  • The type Plant
  • The type Floor
  • The type Électrik

On offense, the Plant-type attacks are super efficient against three types:

  • The type Water
  • The type rock
  • The type Floor

Note: Generation 9 introduces the mechanism of the Teracristal with its Téra-Type, but this doesn't change the standard chart of the 18 types. To defeat a Grass-type Pokémon in Écarlate et Violet, focuses above all on a Fire-type attack Where Flight : This is the most reliable way to deal maximum damage.

Table of Pokémon strengths and weaknesses by type

Memorizing all the strengths and weaknesses of each type can quickly become complicated. The Complete list of types brings everything together in one place so you don't have to memorize it all.

To read the table, look at the attack effectiveness based on their color codes:

  • ½ (in red) : The attack deals only 50 % of damage, the target resists.
  • 2 (in green) : The attack is super efficient and inflicts 200 % damage.
  • 0 (in black) : The attack is ineffective, the target is immune.

Every Pokémon has its own kind, and this type determines its effectiveness in both defense and attack. A Pokémon double-type combines two tables at once, which changes its strengths and weaknesses compared to a single type.
