Pokemon GO Buffs GrassType Attackers For Battle League Balance

Pokemon GO’s first real season of Go Battle League is underway and players have been waging some epic brawls. The feature has been incredibly popular so far, partially thanks to everyone being stuck inside and the option to use it remotely. That said, some clear strong and weak trends are clearly emerging.

Like with any competitive online metagame, Pokemon GO is going to have to do constant work to rebalance the match ups and make sure no particular Pokemon, types, or movesets are dead in the water. This is normal for any PvP system and we’re getting our first chance to see how PoGO handles these issues already with a Grass-type rebalance.

Grass-types have immediately started falling behind in the Battle League metagame, so Niantic is rolling out an exciting list of changes to make that archetype a bit more competitive. New moves and some balancing should help bring Grass-type back up to the competitive level for fans of those Pokemon.

Updates to existing attacks in Pokémon GO

There have been updates to the following existing attacks in Pokémon GO.

Bullet Seed – This Grass-type Fast Attack now generates energy more quickly.

Energy Ball – This Grass-type Charged Attack now reaches full charge more quickly and has a chance of lowering the opponent’s Defense by one stage.

Silver Wind – The damage that this Bug-type Charged Attack deals has been decreased in Trainer Battles.

Ominous Wind – The damage that this Ghost-type Charged Attack deals has been decreased in Trainer Battles. It also reaches full charge less quickly.

Pokemon that can learn more attacks

The following Pokémon will be able to learn attacks they couldn’t before.

Bellossom: Bullet Seed – The combination of this Grass-type Fast Attack with Bellossom’s Grass-type Charged Attack Leaf Blade makes Bellossom a powerful option as a Grass-type lead.

Jumpluff: Aerial Ace – Pairing the Flying-type Charged Attack Aerial Ace with the Grass-type Fast Attack Bullet Seed allows

Jumpluff to use Charged Attacks more quickly.

Ludicolo: Energy Ball – This attack reaches full charge faster than Solar Beam, giving the Carefree Pokémon access to a different Grass-type Charged Attack to use with different play styles. Energy Ball could pair well with Bubble, one of Ludicolo’s Fast Attacks!

Cradily: Bullet Seed – This Grass-type Fast Attack will charge up Cradily’s Charged Attacks faster.

Sunshine Form Cherrim: Fire-type Weather Ball – This Fire-type Charged Attack is fitting for a Pokémon that appears when it’s sunny out.

Tangrowth: Rock Slide – Tangrowth can continue having a dominating lead against Kyogre and Groudon in Master League while making the Flying-type Pokémon often used to counter it more dependent on Protect Shields.
