Grass (effect)
- This article is about an attack effect inBrawl. For the item inSSB4 andUltimate, seeGrass (item).
Grass is an attackeffect inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. Grass attacks have the same visual appearance asslash attacks, generating a crescent-shaped visual effect.
Due totype effectiveness, grass attacks deal 110%knockback toSquirtle and 90% knockback toCharizard. Aside from being boosted by Grass Attackstickers, this is its only gameplay effect.
Ivysaur is the only character that has grass attacks, other thanKirby copying Ivysaur'sBullet Seed.
Grass is the only major effect to not return in future games. No known attacks inSuper Smash Bros. 4 orSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate use it; despite Ivysaur being present in the latter, its attacks are generallyNormal. It is unknown whether the effect is merely unused, or removed outright.
The Subspace Emissary[edit]
InThe Subspace Emissary, almost all enemies have the same resistance to both slash and grass attacks;Primids are the only exception, taking 1.3× damage from slash attacks but 1.0× from grass attacks.

Trivia[edit]
- Although some attacks have a plant-like aesthetic to them, they are consideredslash attacks instead. These includeVenusaur andSnivy'sRazor Leaf andMega Man'sLeaf Shield. This is due to the grass effect being exclusive toBrawl.
- Additionally,Chikorita is a Poké Ball summon inBrawl, but its Razor Leaf attack does not have the Grass effect.
