About Groot
“I am… Groot. I am Groot! I am…”
“Yeah, thanks for that – listen, Rocket here. There’s only four things you gotta know about Groot. Number one, he’s a walking tree from some far away planet…”
“I am Groot!”
“Sorry, ‘Flora Colossus’, not ‘tree person’. Geeze. Number two, he’s real kind and passive until you make him mad. Three, he can only say three words; try and guess which ones? And four, me and him have been together forever. You mess with him, and you mess with me, and my really big gun.”

Thoughts about this one?

Paupershango_2006

And Magrailothos, do you have any idea how hard a reworked Groot would hit?

Paupershango_2006

He can gain Pacifism Charges when he or his opponent land a Critical Hit or use a Special Attack.

And three of his Weaknesses such as Heal Reversal, Fatigue and Exhaustion, and even Mojo.

Mojo is one of Groot's Weaknesses, because with the Anti-Life Field, he will lose his Buffs very fast.
