Just wait til you discover the grass type.

Ok but like... that one makes sense.

Even then, we got many of the food based Grass types in Gen 8 or 9. Applin line, Smoliv line, Capsakid line...

Prior to that, we had the Exeggcute line, maybe Seedot (and even then that's an acorn... last I checked that's squirrel food, not human food), Pumpkaboo line, and potentially all of the Mushroom mons, (except probably the Paras line, because squick) if you count them (Shroomish line, Foongus line, aforementioned Morelull line).

I GUESS Tropius could count too, with the bananas around its neck. Did I miss any others?

Anyway, it makes sense for Grass to have many potential food mons, what with fruits and veggies being a thing. Hell, I'm more surprised there aren't more, looking over the list. But it also has both quantity and time over the Fairy type. There's 125 Grass types vs 68 Fairy types, and it's been around since the beginning, while Fairy has only been from Gen 6 onwards.

But why does Fairy have as many foods as it does? What characteristic of the Fairy typing makes for this many mons based on food? It's 1:30 AM and I am asking the REAL questions!
