Pokemon has released over 1,000 Pokemon since its launch back in the 1990s and the discussion for “Best Pokemon” has been a hotly debated one. We here at The Game Haus decided that we would implement a system to finally figure out which Pokemon were best for each type and then an overall one. Here is our official list of the Top 10 Best Grass-Type Pokemon of All Time.
Before you read about the Top 10 Best Grass-Type Pokemon of All Time, please note that we are doing every type, leading up to one ultimate list. To follow along, use the link below!
To come up with the Best Grass-type Pokemon we came up with a system that showed some bias from us here at TGH with our own rankings. Then we had Ai grab as many fan-made lists as possible and compile them together. Lastly, we ranked them by their stats with each receiving points based on if they were Legendary/Mythic Pokemon, Pseudo-legendary, Starters and so on. The goal was for this not to just be a popularity contest. After this, all of their points were added up and we now have this list.
Below are the Pokemon that received votes but were not in the top 10 Best Grass type Pokemon.
Tangrowth is the evolved form of Tangela introduced in Generation IV, gaining huge bulk and massive vines that can attack from a distance. It’s one of the most physically defensive Grass-types in the game, with access to Regenerator, Knock Off, Leech Seed, and Sleep Powder. Tangrowth doesn’t look fast or pretty, but it absolutely dominates in certain team comps. Its strange appearance hides one of the most consistent walls available.
Base Stats: HP: 100, Atk: 100, Def: 125, Sp. Atk: 110, Sp. Def: 50, Speed: 50 (Total: 535)
Fun fact: Tangrowth can regrow its vines quickly—if one breaks off, another takes its place almost instantly.
Breloom is a Grass/Fighting-type introduced in Generation III and is a competitive legend thanks to its ability to spread status and deal massive physical damage. With high Attack and access to Technician, Spore, and Mach Punch, Breloom can act as a disruptor or sweeper. It’s a tiny mushroom Pokémon with boxing glove arms and serious punching power. One wrong prediction against Breloom can cost an entire match.
Base Stats: HP: 60, Atk: 130, Def: 80, Sp. Atk: 60, Sp. Def: 60, Speed: 70 (Total: 460)
Fun fact: Breloom is one of the only Pokémon with access to 100% accurate sleep-inducing moves and priority punches.
Leavanny is a Bug/Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V that resembles a leafy, mantis-like seamstress. It’s not the bulkiest Pokémon, but its high Speed and Attack let it function as a solid early-game physical attacker or support lead. It can set up Sticky Web, use Swords Dance, and even run Baton Pass strategies. Its nurturing lore adds a fun twist to its otherwise sharp design.
Base Stats: HP: 75, Atk: 103, Def: 80, Sp. Atk: 70, Sp. Def: 80, Speed: 92 (Total: 500)
Fun fact: Leavanny uses leaves to sew clothing for smaller Pokémon like Sewaddle.
Shiftry is a dual Grass/Dark-type introduced in Generation III that draws inspiration from Japanese tengu spirits. With a menacing leaf-fan design and access to strong priority and disruption moves, Shiftry is a tricky physical attacker. It can run moves like Knock Off, Leaf Blade, and Sucker Punch, and its Chlorophyll Ability makes it deadly on sun teams. Shiftry may not be meta-defining, but it’s absolutely a threat when used right. Base Stats: HP: 90, Atk: 100, Def: 60, Sp. Atk: 90, Sp. Def: 60, Speed: 80 (Total: 480) Fun fact: Shiftry is said to cause sudden storms and is considered a forest guardian in folklore.
Serperior is a regal-looking Grass-type starter from Generation V, known for its serpentine body and smug expression. While its raw stats seem modest, its Hidden Ability, Contrary, turns the tide completely—Leaf Storm becomes a self-buffing move that boosts its Special Attack instead of lowering it. This makes Serperior one of the most dangerous sweepers in the right hands. It’s as stylish as it is effective.
Base Stats: HP: 75, Atk: 75, Def: 95, Sp. Atk: 75, Sp. Def: 95, Speed: 113 (Total: 528)
Fun fact: Serperior is based on European nobility and is one of the few fully evolved starters without arms or legs.
Ferrothorn is a Grass/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V that resembles a spiky metal seed with whip-like vines. It’s one of the best defensive Pokémon ever created, with incredible typing, high base defenses, and access to hazards like Stealth Rock and Spikes. Its Ability, Iron Barbs, punishes physical attackers every time they make contact. Ferrothorn dominates in stall, balance, and bulky offense teams. Base Stats: HP: 74, Atk: 94, Def: 131, Sp. Atk: 54, Sp. Def: 116, Speed: 20 (Total: 489) Fun fact: Despite being slow, Ferrothorn can wall even some of the strongest physical attackers in the game.
Celebi is a Mythical Grass/Psychic-type introduced in Generation II and is often associated with time travel and forest guardianship. Its onion-like fairy design hides a balanced stat spread and support capabilities like Recover, Heal Bell, and Baton Pass. While not the most offensively dominant, Celebi excels as a utility Pokémon that fits a wide variety of roles on any team. It’s a timeless favorite in lore and battle alike.
Base Stats: HP: 100, Atk: 100, Def: 100, Sp. Atk: 100, Sp. Def: 100, Speed: 100 (Total: 600)
Fun fact: Celebi can travel through time and is said to only appear in times of peace.
Sceptile is the final form of the speedy Treecko line from Generation III, known for its blade-like tail and sleek, raptor-like design. It’s one of the fastest Grass-types and excels at hit-and-run strategies with moves like Leaf Blade and Dragon Pulse. Its Mega Evolution adds Dragon typing and boosts its Special Attack and Speed, making it a top-tier threat in certain metas. Sceptile is a fan-favorite for its cool design and offensive utility. Base Stats: HP: 70, Atk: 85, Def: 65, Sp. Atk: 105, Sp. Def: 85, Speed: 120 (Total: 530) Fun fact: In the anime, Ash’s Sceptile famously defeated a Darkrai—one of the most powerful Legendary Pokémon.
Venusaur is the original Grass/Poison starter evolution from Generation I, with a massive flower blooming from its back and vines ready to strike. It’s tanky, versatile, and thrives in sun-based teams thanks to Chlorophyll and access to Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, and Solar Beam. Mega Venusaur turns it into a defensive juggernaut with Thick Fat, reducing two of its key weaknesses. Venusaur is iconic for good reason—it’s dependable and well-rounded. Base Stats: HP: 80, Atk: 82, Def: 83, Sp. Atk: 100, Sp. Def: 100, Speed: 80 (Total: 525) Fun fact: The flower on Venusaur’s back emits a calming aroma and absorbs sunlight for power.
Decidueye is a Grass/Ghost-type starter from Generation VII with an archer-inspired owl design and a cloak of leaves. It combines style and strategy, firing ghostly arrows from afar with signature moves like Spirit Shackle, which prevents opponents from switching. Though not the bulkiest, it balances offense and utility well in battle. Its regional variant, Hisuian Decidueye, trades its ghost typing for Fighting and brings a whole new strategy to the table. Base Stats: HP: 78, Atk: 107, Def: 75, Sp. Atk: 100, Sp. Def: 100, Speed: 70 (Total: 530) Fun fact: Decidueye is one of the only starter Pokémon to change its secondary type mid-evolution.
