The Grass pokemon are the cutest, what are your favorite grass pokemon?

Also, is Grass competitive in the current meta?

I used to play the online version a long time ago but I assume the general meta of only using single stage mons with a power holds true. That or a chunky tank for you to develop evolutions behind but as far as i remember trying to actually develop your board was an invitation to take bench damage and cry.

I was never good but i had a decent w/l ratio online

Is the online version any good/fun? I like deckbuilders, but if it's expensive and ptw I'll pass

Every pack of real Pokemon cards comes with a code to redeem a digital pack. I bought like 100 off Reddit or something for pennies each. No idea what the market is like now though sorry

It's PTW in the same way physical cards are ptw. You can buy packs and having more cards is more gooder but there are ways to "earn" cards for free I do not remember if they are fair

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the explanation! I'm not averse to grinding if I can still enjoy the deck building and have a decent comp. I only own like, 30 physical cards though lol and half of them are free singles left behind at a boardgame place I go to. Not really looking to shell out $$$ for more cardboard

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah buying the codes online is the only way i would play it, i have enough MTG lol

Day 244 of asking WhyEssEff to upload :rowlet-oh-noes: as an emoji

Otherwise Bulbasaur, Oddish line, Phantump and Toedscool.

I also bought a packet of cards recently because I like looking at them, and got this Breloom which is kinda cute. I don't play though.

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I don't know the card meta but Breloom absolutely shreds in the regular games. Easily one of the most satisfying pokemon to use in gen 3.

I like to buy them and look at them - but I'm wanting to get into playing the game and want my cute little Grass guys to be at least somewhat competitive

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Nowadays my favourite is Meowscarada, before was Cacturne

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Odish. I love that little weed onion since I was a kid.

[-] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Treecko is still the coolest grass type

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Idk, it was a Fire meta when I hopped in years ago. My favorite Grass mon is either Parasect or Sunkern. Also partial towards any cards where the Pokes are made of clay or yarn.
