You gave a venus fly trap a 4x weakness to bug, I feel like a more fun way to buff it would be give it a freeze dry clone for bugs and an ability along the lines of if the user is hit the other mon gets the trapping effect (whirlpool, clamp, fire spin, ect) and/or a bug immunity to be the only mon that can explicitly block u-turn
could be cool but i dont think making it better into a bad MU would make it actually good, so id rather up its general utlity even if bad MUs become worse
Personally it makes more sense for parasect to lose the bug typing for the ghost because the mushroom represents the living part of it being the grass part and the ghost typing represents the dead part being the bug and since the mushroom is controlling the corpse it’s more grass than bug
On the topic of Grass-types, physical grass-type movepools are usually better for the most part since the Phy/Spe split, meanwhile prior to Gen 8 the only special ones that have Earth Power that aren’t /Rock or /Ground were Celebi, Shaymin, and I shit you not Sunflora. Nowadays in addition to said 3 mons they’ve now given it to Venusaur, Abomasnow (for special sets) and the newer Arboliva and Hydrapple. And also, give Torterra Solid Rock
Either one of Rock or Ice since the majority boil down to “Generic slow bulky Rock or Ice type”…..complete with neither recovery nor utility (beyond Rocks for the former) And on top of that, Rock and Ice are bar-none the worst defensive typings in the entire game, let alone when paired together. Not even /Steel typing can save either of them. They’re both solid offensively tho
I really like your Sycophant Syphon idea. The rest is a bit bland imo. The Solar Gift idea is really unnecessary, just make Solar Power buff both offenses. My idea for buffing Sunflora is: give it an exclusive ability in Solar Absorber: Sharply raises Satk at the end of each turn when Sun is up. (and keep the stats and typing as is)
earth power is a move given to 3 pokemon in the entire franchise, giving the move to everything is an extremely boring way of 'fixing' things. also giving pivot moves to stall pokemon creates degenerate playstyles, and eldegoss is strong as is and your excuse for even putting it in this video is laughable
Making the grass types more powerful, call that flower creep
BARS
12:38 personally I wouldn’t have buffed its speed, I think it would work better as a slower bulky mon. Giving that 20 boost in its HP
thats fair!!

At this point, with the amount of mushroom pokémon in the games, just make a Fungus type :P Make Parasect a Bug/Fungus type
trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee LOL
I was worried youd put the Goat Shiftry on here. Bro doesnt need any help, lead sash tailwind defog knock explosion is already broken
nah shiftry got his buffs in sv, gotta give the real bad grasses some love hahah
As someone who inexplicably chose Parasect for a mascot, I am all about those changes. Give me my spooky priority parasite crab lad.
valid LOL, at least you have big breloom too!!
You would be right if it was the last regulation, but for this legendary based meta, barely any pokemon are viable lmao
Valid hahah
3:21 plus it's my video so get over it is such a mood
yessir LOL

hmmmm yeah thats fair! my thought is it was a dead bug so that = bug/ghost

trueeee, the phys ones are much more consistent movepool wise
Why DOESN'T Carnivine have snap trap!? It arguable is a better fit that the others that get it.
RIGHT
Float would be unbeleivably powerful. I need tthis buffed Eldegoss in my life.
im sayin, this elde would be tangrowth but actually good
Concept of float is amazing
A sunflower cannot reasonably be fast base speed sorry.
Great video and editing
glad you enjoyed!!

fair!! theres some pretty bad ice and rocks
This ones a banger
Ty goat!!
There are def a lot of iffy grasses
yeahhhh bit of an underwhelming type. mons are just too generic

Thank you! I like solar gift to facilitate set up opportunities from a defensive aspect much like something like gouging fire can
You were cooking with these ideas Owen!!! I wish Gamefreak would implement your ideas like ASAP lol 😅
Tell GF aim available if they’re hiring LOL

You had me in the first half I’m not gonna lie LOL
What am I reading 😭
Lol what?
Earth Power has already more than 3 bearers lol. And yes, it should be near universal among grass types.
