Grass has a lot of weaknesses but not all of them are common as coverage (poison is fairly rare as coverage and the only notable bug moves are typically non-STAB U-turn and maybe First Impression). The resistances are all common and necessary for a good team. The only other way to get all of these resistances currently are the Latis and Hydreigon. Maybe in the future, we'll also get a Water or Dragon/Flying type with an electric immunity ability, or a Ground/Flying with a water immunity ability (triple immunity).

Grass is one of my favorite types. Some types like Water just get a ridiculous amount of favoritism with their own weather effect and very good offensive and defensive profile. Then there’s Grass with many weaknesses, a lot of stuff that resists, no viable stab option until Gen 4 but has a very clutch set of resistances and utility options that let it thrive.

Not only is grass tied for having the most weaknesses, its also tied as being the most resisted type in the game.

In case anyone doesn't know. Old gens that don't receive tier changes will not have Pokemon rise or drop tiers anymore, I'll just refer to it as being locked cause it's easier that way. If a pokemon becomes unviable in a locked old gen OU, it will remain OU instead of dropping to UU. To show that the Pokemon are not OU viable, but locked into OU, they seperate them and show them as 'OU by technicality'. These are UU or lower caliber pokemon, but won't ever drop because the Gen has since become locked
