Grass Knot doesn't have a standard base power; rather, its damage is calculated based on the weight of the target. Grass Knot's power is calculated as follows (note that the game uses weight in kilograms instead of pounds for all the cutoffs).
| Target's weight | Power | |
|---|---|---|
| metric | US customary | |
| 0.1 - 9.9 kg | 0.1 - 21.8 lbs. | |
| 10.0 - 24.9 kg | 21.9 - 54.9 lbs. | |
| 25.0 - 49.9 kg | 55.1 - 110.0 lbs. | |
| 50.0 - 99.9 kg | 110.2 - 220.2 lbs. | |
| 100.0 - 199.9 kg | 220.4 - 440.7 lbs. | |
| 200.0 kg or more | 440.9 lbs. or more | |
