During the daytime, Oddish buries itself in soil to absorb nutrients from the ground using its entire body. The more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become.

Oddish Weakness

Oddish's Grass/Poison typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Standard number of weaknesses for the Grass/Poison typing.
