[SET COMMENTS]
Grassy Seed Grookey acts as a decently strong wallbreaker and late-game cleaner. The combination of Grassy Surge and Grassy Seed empowers Acrobatics, allowing Grookey to muscle through checks like Mienfoo and Larvesta as well as opposing Grass-types in Foongus, Grookey, and Morelull. Drain Punch provides good coverage against Ferroseed and OHKOes Pawniard. Knock Off is a noteworthy mention that lets +2 Grookey OHKO Natu, but it worsens Grookey's matchup against Pawniard. The Defense boost from Grassy Seed allows Grookey to survive Trapinch's First Impression.
This set works exceptionally well when paired up with Mienfoo, which can bring Grookey in safely with U-turn and help soften up checks in Koffing, Natu, and Ponyta. Diglett can trap Mareanie and Ponyta so that Grookey has an easier time sweeping. Psychic-types in Abra and Natu work great alongside Grookey, beating Poison-types such as Koffing and Mareanie. Stealth Rock Pawniard is a great partner that can beat Natu and benefit from Grassy Terrain weakening Earthquake. Tyrunt can take advantage of Fire-types like Vulpix, and it similarly appreciates the Grassy Terrain support.
