That move is called Forest's Flash. It's Sceptile's Burst Attack. Last time I checked, Frenzy Plant doesn't wrap around the opponent like Gaara's Sand Coffin. Have you never seen Pokken or something?

I am fully convinced at this point the only people who love Torterra the most are underaged Sinnohbabbies who never got to experience a proper childhood. Seriously! I just don't get it. There is nothing special about it at all! Venusaur already pulled off the "ecosystem on a back" motif. Torterra doesn't even look like a tortoise. Its "shell" just looks like a bowl that was glued onto it. You all have shit taste and should be ashamed of yourselves.

What annoys me about basically all the grass starters is that they get such a shit movepool. Meganium is bottom of the barrel, but Venusaur and Serperior also only get Grass type offensive moves. Without tm's they're shit.
Sceptile has the best movepool except it's all physical attacks and it only gets a few damaging special type moves of which it can only learn 1 by level up. Torterra and Chesnaught at least have some variety going on.

Compared to mons like Charizard, Infernape, Blaziken, Emboar, Blastoise, Feraligatr, Swampert, Empoleon and Greninja however, it's still fucking nothing.

Also:
Water > weak to 2 types, super effective against 3
Fire > weak to 3 types, super effective against 4
Grass > weak to 5 types, super effective against 3.

Because Game Freak still take retarded design decision concerning balance.
They give grass a lot of utility move like the powder/spore move or leech seed so to compensate they made grass a shitty offensive type and give them a shitty coverage to force you to switch and so give your opponent a "free" turn.
But in the same time they give water pokemon an easy access to ice move so they can easily deal with two of the three type that resist them so you don't need to switch even if your opponent send a pokemon that resist water.
They also make ice and rock good offensive type and compensate by making them shitty defensive type and giving them slow pokemon, but in the same time they give easy access to ice and rock move to pokemon with a less shitty defensive type like water and ground pokemon and by doing so made ice and rock pokemon basically useless.

The list is long, but basically Game Freak gave some type too many weakness compared to their strenght and gave some type with little weakness a way to deal with them.
>>
>>25775380
>they give grass a lot of utility moves like powder/spore moves or leech seed.

Except for the fact that Venusaur is the only grass starter that learns sleep powder, while Meganium is the only other one that learns a powder move except it's fucking Poisonpowder.
Also Meganium and Sceptile get no access to Leech Seed unless breeding.

>grass known for support
>Meganium only gets screens that you can learn by tm's you can literally buy in stores for 3k
They truly shit all over the Grass starters except Torterra which has a lot of offensive moves except it's slow and LOL grass type fuckton of weaknesses.

Also agree with the rest of your post. Pure ice types are most likely the worst pokemon after pure Grass types because most of them only learn ice type moves and besides having weaknesses to 3 of the most common offensive types (Fighting, Fire, Rock) have garbage defenses.
