Pokémon Pokopia

In Pokémon Pokopia, Leafage is a move that Ditto can use after learning it from a Bulbasaur in Withered Wasteland. It allows Ditto to make tall grass grow on dirt and soil. Leafage can be temporarily powered up by consuming salads, allowing Ditto to grow tall grass over a large area, as well as vines on walls, moss on hard surfaces, and duckweed on the surface of water.

Description

Games Description Pokopia Plants tall grass directly in front of you (or dry tall grass if the ground is dried up). There are some places where you can't plant, such as sand or stone.
