>better grass types available
Let's look at them the best grass types in GSC
>"B-But I play HGSS"
It doesn't matter what you use in HGSS. I'm not saying GSC is hard, but HGSS pretty much plays itself.
>Victreebel
Strong offensively as it can learn both sludge bomb and sleep powder, but obtaining the leaf stone is difficult. You could very well make it all the way to the finite location in Kanto before Picnicker Gina manages to find one for you.
>Vileplume and Bellossom
Another leaf stone evolution with sleep powder, but it's is inferior to both Victreebel and Meganium for multiple reasons. First, its stats are worse. Second, it has to breed for a grass move not named absorb until it finally learns solarbeam in the 40s. Bellossom is easier to obtain using a sun stone, but it still has the same movepool issues.
>Exeggcute
If you get lucky and obtain a leaf stone, it's one of the best psychic types in the game. Grass? Lol. Exeggcute doesn't learn any grass moves until solarbeam It has to breed for mega drain
>Tangela
Tangela fucking sucks in GSC. It's obtained late and learns no good moves unless you teach it solarbeam.
>Parassect
lol
>Jumpluff
It's a pain in the ass to train as its first two moves aren't even attacks, it deals fuck-all for damage, and it's damn near weak to everything. This thing is for fighting people, not computers.
>Sunflora
Easy to obtain, but it has low stats and you need to do some extra work to make it good. You need to breed two Sunkerns for a new one and evolve it immediately so it can learn razor leaf at level 10. THIS IS REQUIRED TO BREED RAZOR LEAF ONTO THE ODDISH LINE.
>Meganium
Bulky as shit, razor leaf carries it for all of Johto, and it learns great moves like screens, synthesis, and body slam.
>Venusaur
Put the time capsule away, Bill
>Celebi
Put the GS ball away, Kurt
Meganium requires no setup. Exeggutor is the best in the postgame. Victreebel is great if you get lucky and Gina finds a leaf stone.
