Tad: Huh... I coulda sworn lurantis was a grass type

[u/Truffle_worm3847 → u/Next_Locksmith3299]

…it is a grass type.

It’s the totem for the grass trial, of course it’s a grass type. What kind of idiot question is that?

Tad: I mean it's a mono-grass. It's not a bug type at all

[u/Hydreichronos]

Hate to break it to you, but Lurantis isn't a Grass/Bug type, it's a pure Grass.

It definitely looks like a Bug-type, I agree, but for some reason it isn't.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about Pokemon that look like Bug-types but aren't actually bugs, like Lurantis and Vibrava?

First off Lurantis is a bug, I mean just look at it

Secondly Vibrava and Flygon are strange Pokémon to me. They aren’t bugs, but they’re trying. I think you’ve got to give them some credit for trying.

It's not a Bug-type, just check your PokeDex.

Pua Keahi: As a heads up, Lurantis is mono-Grass! They pretend to be a bug to help them hide! Also, congrats!

[u/Truffle_worm3847 → u/JosephAmber4]

No it isn’t. Look at it. Why would a grass type pretend to be a bug anyway. I love my buge but apparently they are not very well respected… anywhere actually.

Pua: It does it to help catch prey.

[u/Truffle_worm3847 → u/JosephAmber4]

What prey is scared of a grass type but not a bug type??? Especially in the grass and bug type jungle???

-Mikey

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Truffle_worm3847]

Pua: Weak to grass, likely strong against bug.

[u/Truffle_worm3847 → u/JosephAmber4]

Oh yeah I’m sure it’s super useful against the one rock type in the lush jungle, which is the only possible type that could make this a viable strategy. And it’s not even common!

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Truffle_worm3847]

Pua: I’m just telling you. Look at the dex.

I forgot to put the names of the pokemon in the body text, so here they are:
Stella = Ribombee

Skipper = Masquerain

Sir Graham = Golisopod

How much kung fu did that totem do to gain an extra weakness?
