Fire/Grass strategy: Water pressure with three weaknesses
Fire/Grass and Grass/Fire are the same defensive pairing; this page uses fire-grass as the canonical URL. Fire/Grass is an unusual offensive pairing that pressures Water, Ground, Rock, Steel, Grass, Ice, and Bug targets. Representative Pokémon include Scovillain, Ogerpon Hearthflame Mask. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Poison, Flying, Rock. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from ¼× resists Grass; ½× resists Electric, Steel, Fairy, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Fire STAB threatens Grass, Ice, Bug, and Steel targets, while Grass STAB pressures Water, Ground, and Rock targets. Poison, Flying, and Rock are the direct weaknesses, and there is no 4× weakness. The typing is strongest when it can punish Water and Steel answers in the same slot.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Fire/Grass, start with the chart pressure: Poison, Flying, Rock. If a 4× weakness is listed, preserve that attack type before revealing it; if there is no 4× weakness, repeated 2× pressure and hazard chip usually matter more than a single surprise hit. Scout for abilities, Terastallization, weather, recovery, and pivot moves before assuming the visible multiplier ends the exchange.
Team-building advice
Fire/Grass needs Poison, Flying, and Rock answers. Steel, Rock-resistant, Electric, and bulky Water partners can cover those lanes while Fire/Grass pressures Water and Steel structures. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Poison, Flying problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
