There are currently 18 different elemental typings in the world of Pokemon, and Grass happens to be one of the more popular variants. Almost every trio of starter Pocket Monsters, if not all, will have a creature that is of the Grass elemental typing. Besides the starter creatures, Grass-type monsters are one of the more commonly occurring entities in the franchise. However, just keep your Grass-type Pocket Monsters away from the Fire-types.

In this article, we will talk about everything you need to know about Grass-type Pocket Monsters, including their strengths, shortcomings, and more.
