How Much Useful Is My Oddish?
Pokémon Natures
Natures are a part of the game that has only been introduced in the 3rd Generation of Pokémon games. Pokémon natures are an important part of the game mechanic which may increase or decrease certain stats. For example, Jolly nature increases Speed and decreases Sp. Atk. This leads to a significant increase or decrease in respective stats by the time the Pokémon reaches level 100. Natures can also increase and decrease the same stat which means that that particular stat will not have any special increment or decrement. For example, the Hardy Nature increase and decreases the Attack stat. This has made Natures a very important part of competitive Pokémon battling as having a Pokémon with the correct nature can give an edge over the opponent.
For Oddish, Timid Nature is beneficial for most Generations while Bold Nature is the way to go in the last two Generations.
Oddish is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon which makes it resistant to Fighting (1/2 x), Water (1/2 x), Grass (1/4 x), Electric (1/2 x), and Fairy (1/2 x) Type Pokémons. Taking about the weakness of Oddish towards particular type then it vulnerable to Flying (2x), Fire (2x), Psychic (2x), and Ice (2x) Type attacks. It is damaged Normally by all other Type Pokémons. Oddish has a below-average Ability, and because of that, it is strongly rivaled strongly by other similar typed Pokémons. It faces very tough competition in any role it wants to fulfill, and to be fair it is not an intelligent pick over its rivals.
Well, do you think that the Oddish Evolution can suffice your needs in the game after going through its weakness, Moveset, stats, and more? If yes then you should run down to the Pokemon official page for Oddish Evolution!
But if still, you think that you may find some better Moveset, stats, and less unhealthy weakness with the help of evolution other than of Oddish, then Herald Journalism has information stocked for that purpose.
