Pokédex Entry

Herb Pokémon

Anyone who stands beside it becomes refreshed, just as if they were relaxing in a sunny forest. Meganium in Polished version has fairy as a secondary type, which ups its coverage a lot. You can also use it as a great set up Pokemon for light screen, reflect, and leech seed. Its special attack and regular attack stats are pretty even, so you can use either type of attack. It can also take a few hits while setting up too!
