Grass Pledge (Japanese: くさのちかい Grass Oath) is a damage-dealing Grass-type move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Generation V
Grass Pledge inflicts regular damage, with double damage and an additional effect when combined with Fire Pledge or Water Pledge in Double and Triple Battles. The combined move is used by the Pokémon that moved second.
If it and Water Pledge are used in the same turn, it will inflict damage at double the power, then create a swamp on the side of the field of the target of the combined move for four turns. This swamp halves the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field.
If it and Fire Pledge are used in the same turn, it will come out as Fire Pledge, inflict damage at double the power, then will create a sea of fire on the side of the field of the target of the combined move 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 for four turns; this effect is negated if it is raining.
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.
Similar to Fire Pledge and Water Pledge, Grass Pledge is unaffected by a held Grass Gem (and will not consume it).
Generation VI
Grass Pledge's power changed from 50 to 80. In addition, Grass Pledge does not work in Sky Battles.
