Learn how the Overgrow ability in Pokémon Platinum boosts Grass-type attacks by 1.5x when HP is below 1/3.

Pokemon with Overgrow:

  • Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur
  • Chikorita, Bayleef, Meganium
  • Treecko, Grovyle, Sceptile
  • Turtwig, Grotile, Torterra

Ability Details:

When a Pokemon with the Overgrow ability has its HP reduced to below one-third (1/3) of its maximum HP, any Grass-type attacks it uses will have their power increased by a factor of 1.5x.

Tips
  • This ability is most effective when your Pokemon is in critical condition, making its Grass-type moves hit harder in a pinch.
  • Consider switching out to preserve a low-HP Pokemon, or capitalize on the boosted attack power for a final offensive push.
