Pokémon Trading Card Game/Grass Club
The Grass Club is an all-girls club of Grass type Pokémon decks. It's a clear analogue to the Celadon City Gym in the mainline games. The club leader Nikki isn't here right now, and her club members won't tell you where she is until you defeat all of them.

You do not want her to get her Jynx set up to use Meditate. Knock it out as soon as possible if she puts it in play. The rest of her Pokémon are pretty weak, and have many different types making it difficult for her to get the right energy to use their most powerful attacks. The problem they cause is that they like to cause the Paralysis status condition, preventing you from attacking on your turn unless you have a card like Full Heal, or Switch with another Pokémon who is ready to fight on the bench or one with free retreat to get your attacking Pokémon back in the active spot. You want to strike quickly because Brittany will be at an advantage in the late game when she has access to the right types of energy. | |||
Club Master: Nikki
Once you have defeated all three of the other members of the club, they will tell you that Nikki has gone up to Ishihara's house. The house in the northwest of the map will now be called Ishihara's House and you can go there to find Nikki. She says she was doing research and heads back to the club to be able to duel you. She will be at the north end of the room Kristen and Heather are in.

Her Oddish is annoying because it can paralyze your active Pokémon on a coin flip each turn, but when it evolves into Gloom or Vileplume, they are powerful but with confuse themselves with their attacks. This causes a chance for them to not be able to hit you on consecutive turns if they get a tails on their confusion check trying to attack. Exeggutor is dangerous if he gets enough energy on it, so make sure to take out the Exeggcute's before they can evolve, or starve Exeggutor of energies to keep it from getting too many coin flip opportunities. If you let her evolve one of her Bulbasaur all the way to a Venusaur and there are enough energy spread around her board, you've likely already lost. The Energy Trans Pokémon Power lets her move her Grass Energy around however she wants. It's Solarbeam is extremely powerful doing 60 damage by just moving 4 Grass Energy to Venusaur itself, but it can also move all of the Grass Energy on her board onto Exeggutor to get enough heads coin flips to knockout each of your Pokémon. | ||
A victory over Nikki results in you obtaining the Grass Medal.
Card Trades
There is a girl in the lounge of the club who wants an Oddish Lv.8 card. She'll trade you a Vileplume Lv.35 card for it. You can get Vileplume in the same Mystery booster pack that you can also find the Oddish in so this isn't a unique trade you absolutely must do, but it is a nice trade of a common for a rare if you're struggling to find a Vileplume.
