On Smogon's Movedex: Generation V Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Grass Pledge (Japanese:くさのちかいGrass Oath) is a damage-dealingGrass-typemove introduced inGeneration V. It isTM146 inPokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Along withWater Pledge andFire Pledge, Grass Pledge is one of the battle-combo moves. AllGrass-typefirst partner Pokémon and theirEvolutions can learn this move.

Effect

Grass Pledge inflictsdamage.

When two allies attempt to use Grass Pledge and eitherFire Pledge orWater 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 andFire 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 andWater 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 heldGrass Gem (and will not consume it). If a combined move is used, it will always receive thesame-type attack bonus no matter which Pokémon is the one executing it, or what type the combined move is.

Grass Pledge does not work inSky Battles.

Generation V

It has a regularpower of 50.

Generation VI onwards

Grass Pledge's regular power changed from 50 to 80.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Grass Pledge cannot be selected in a battle.

Generation IX

Grass Pledge can be used again, but its effects do not take effect in Tera Raid battles.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Grass Pledge deals damage. InSuper Mystery Dungeon, when Grass Pledge is used with Water Pledge in anAlliance, the enemies in the same room will get theswamp condition for five turns, which reduces their Speed stat. When used with Fire Pledge, the enemies in the same room will get thesea of fire condition, which damages all opponent non-Fire-type Pokémon for five turns.

InRescue Team DX, Alliances are no longer present. Instead, when Grass Pledge is used with a teammate in a position from which it can use Water Pledge (that is, also adjacent to the enemy), Grass Pledge's power will be increased and enemies in the same room will get the Swamp condition for five turns, which reduces their Speed stat. 1 PP of Water Pledge will also be used (and the teammate with Water Pledge can still make another move on that turn). Grass Pledge's effect with Fire Pledge will only activate when Fire Pledge is used.

Trivia

• InPokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon andPokémon Sword and Shield,Silvally is intended to be able to be taught Grass Pledge,Fire Pledge, andWater Pledge via Move Tutor. However, due to a programming error, the Move Tutor will only offer to teach it Grass Pledge, making it unable to learn the other two moves.
