Frenzy Plant (move)

Frenzy Plant is a slightly inaccurate but very highly-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III. For all intents and purposes, it is a Grass-type Hyper Beam. In Pokémon Colosseum, it was erroneously named as Solid Plant.

Effect

Frenzy Plant deals a large amount of damage and then forces the user to recharge during the next turn. Unless this attack misses, the user will always have to recharge.

Trivia

• Smeargle is the only Pokémon that is not a Template:Type2 starter Pokémon able to learn Frenzy Plant, due to Sketch.
• Mew, though repeatedly said on the Pokédex to be able to learn any move, is not able to learn Frenzy Plant because it can only be taught to Grass-type starter Pokémon.
