Grass (type)

Grass is one of the three basic elemental types along with Fire and Water, which constitute the three starter Pokémon. This creates a simple triangle to explain the type concept easily to new players.

Grass is one of the weakest types statistically, with 5 defensive weaknesses and 7 types that are resistant to Grass moves. Furthermore, three type combos paired with Grass have 7 weaknesses: Grass/Psychic, Grass/Ice, and Grass/Dark.

In Generations 1-3, all Grass type moves were categorized as Special.
