Grass Pokémon are the originals, the earth that grounds the series. Go find a Pokedex (I’m sure you have one to hand) and look at the very first Pokémon, who is it? Yeah, that’s right, it’s my boy Bulbasaur! Back before western territories decided that grass wasn’t cool, Japan even got Pokémon Green on the Game Boy instead of Pokémon Red. Stupid fire, it kills people, and that’s lame.
In Pokémon Go they also fulfill an important role, as you’ll come up against some bulky water and rock types that simply cannot withstand the awesome power of a solar beam. Sorry Tyranitar, ya basic. So what are the best grass Pokémon in Pokémon Go? Well, thankfully you’ve got plenty to choose from, as these adorable little dudes are all around the world. Climbing up trees, jumping around in fields, crawling out of… moss.
This list goes into the best Pokémon to add to your team, the best moves to have, and why. I’ve tried not to just include my favourites (I’m so sorry Tropius my love, you’re just awful competitively), and while there are a couple of legendary or mythical Pokémon, most of these you can obtain through regular play. If you need a bit more help after this, be sure to also check out our Pokémon Go guides covering the best electric Pokémon, fire Pokémon, and dark Pokémon.
