Piranha Plant reaches out with the leaf farthest from the camera. While it is among the fastest grabs in the game, Piranha Plant's grabs are also very short-ranged, making it difficult to get grabs outright in neutral without conditioning the opponent to shield, and weakens its usage out-of-shield as well. Even then, Piranha Plant's grab is still important, as its down throw provides combos, up throw can lead to kills, and forward/back throws are exceptional at setting up edgeguard or ledgetrap scenarios. Grab is also important during ledgetrapping, to negate shields and also deal increased damage with pummels combined with Poison Breath, which can help lead to the up throw kill far earlier. Whilst pivot grab may not provide exceptional range, it has lower endlag than dash grab, and can still be useful to catch landing attempts towards Piranha Plant.
