- If held by Partiweed: A rare variety of weed that warps the essence of Partiweed. Partiweed has become so mellow that they are considered to be asleep and cannot become affected by a non-volatile status condition or Yawn. Like a cloud, they have become ungrounded, though Electric Terrain will still multiply the power of their Electric-type attacks by 1.3.
- If held by Melloweed: A rare variety of weed that warps the essence of Melloweed. Melloweed has become so energized that they can zigzag through entry hazards, ignoring them entirely. Fully alert, Melloweed has become grounded, though they are still immune to Ground-type attacks.

Melloweed's most important role is that of a terrain setter—Misty Terrain is valued by offensive and defensive teammates alike for the utility it provides. Although Melloweed is a Flying-type, they can use their signature item Warpweed to take advantage of the terrain themselves. This item also functions as Heavy-Duty Boots, which is greatly appreciated by a Pokémon weak to Stealth Rock. With an immunity to entry hazards, Defog is a strong choice for Melloweed as they can effortlessly remove said entry hazards. However, this will also remove their Misty Terrain. Strange Steam is Melloweed's most effective STAB-attack. By investing in special attack, one can pair it with Heat Wave to hit Steel-types that resist Strange Steam. Draining Kiss is an alternative option that sees good use with Calm Mind to keep Melloweed healthy as seen on the Bulky Setup set. Calm Mind makes Melloweed difficult to break past, while also improving their mediocre offenses. Melloweed can be run as a physical attacker too, especially when opting to run Pixilate with powerful moves such as Body Slam and Double-Edge as seen on the Setup Sweeper set. Z Happy Hour's omniboost enables physical or mixed sets, while also improving physical bulk as opposed to Calm Mind only improving the special stats. However, running Normalium Z means that Warpweed cannot be held and that Melloweed cannot take advantage of their own terrain. Melloweed and Partiweed in tandem will provide this format with useful terrain to support their teams, something which everyone would appreciate.
