Grass Pledge (move)

Grass Pledge (Japanese: くさのちかい Grass Oath) is a damage-dealing move introduced in Generation V. Prior to Generation VII, only first partner Pokémon and their evolutions could learn this move. It is TM146 in Generation IX.
==Effect==
Grass Pledge inflicts damage.
When two allies attempt to use Grass Pledge and either or on the same turn, the ally moving first will not itself use a move, but instead the ally moving second will use a combined attack with a power of 150 and an additional effect immediately after it:
* If Grass Pledge and are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Fire Pledge with a power of 150, and create a sea of fire on the target's side of the field for four turns. The sea of fire damages all non- Pokémon on that side of the field for 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.
* If Grass Pledge and are used in the same turn, the ally moving second will use Grass Pledge with a power of 150, and create a swamp on the target's side of the field for four turns. This swamp quarters the Speed of all Pokémon on that side of the field.
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. , , etc.), no move will be executed.
Grass Pledge is unaffected by a held Grass Gem (and will not consume it). If a combined move is used, it will always receive the same-type attack bonus no matter which Pokémon is the one executing it, or what type the combined move is.
Grass Pledge does not work in Sky Battles.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
Grass Pledge deals damage. In , when Grass Pledge is used with Water Pledge in an Alliance, the enemies in the same room will get the condition for five turns, which reduces their Speed stat. When used with Fire Pledge, the enemies in the same room will get the condition, which damages all opponent non-Fire-type Pokémon for five turns.
In Rescue Team DX, Alliances are no longer present. Instead, when Grass Pledge is used with a teammate in a position from which it can use Water Pledge (that is, also adjacent to the enemy), Grass Pledge's power will be increased and enemies in the same room will get the Swamp condition for five turns, which reduces their Speed stat. 1 PP of Water Pledge will also be used (and the teammate with Water Pledge can still make another move on that turn). Grass Pledge's effect with Fire Pledge will only activate when Fire Pledge is used.
