While Pokemon has been around for decades, many people still struggle to pick the perfect team for both competitive and casual play. When it comes to the best grass type Pokemon, it is a hard decision, given all the types you can choose from. The idea behind grass type isn’t always raw power. Sometimes it is a debilitating and long game.

This Pokemon is an absolute beast. It can be played in any format, and depending on your nature, you have many options of playstyle.
