Grass Pledge (move)

Grass Pledge inflicts damage. It has a regular power of 50.

When two allies attempt to use Grass Pledge and either Fire Pledge or Water Pledge on the same turn, the ally moving first will not itself use a move, but instead the ally moving second will use a combined attack with a power of 150 and an additional effect immediately after it:

• If Grass Pledge and Fire Pledge are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Fire Pledge with a power of 150, and create a sea of fire on the target's side of the field for four turns. The sea of fire damages all non-Fire-type Pokémon on that side of the field for 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.
• If Grass Pledge and Water Pledge are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Grass Pledge with a power of 150, and create a swamp on the target's side of the field for four turns. This swamp quarters the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field.

If a Pokémon uses one Pledge move and a partner has selected another Pledge move, but none of its partners are able to use their selected Pledge move that turn (e.g. paralysis, Sky Drop, etc.), no move will be executed.

Grass Pledge is unaffected by a held Grass Gem (and will not consume it). If a combined move is used, it will always receive the same-type attack bonus no matter which Pokémon is the one executing it, or what type the combined move is.

Grass Pledge's regular power changed from 50 to 80. In addition, Grass Pledge does not work in Sky Battles.

Various Move Tutors can teach Grass Pledge to any Grass-type starter Pokémon of any evolutionary stage. From Generation VII onward, Move Tutors will also teach Grass Pledge to the Grass-type elemental monkeys, and starting in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, to Silvally. From Generation V to VII, Move Tutors will only teach this move to Pokémon with maximized friendship.

The Move Tutors who teach this move are:

• BW: a man in the house to the right of the market in Driftveil City.
• B2W2: a man outside of the Pokémon World Tournament building.
• XY: a man in Laverre City.
• ORAS: a man in a shop in Mauville City.
• SMUSUM: a man on the second level of Hau'oli City's mall.
• SwSh: a man in Hammerlocke.
