How was the ranking created? In our overview of the best Grass attackers, we have considered all Pokémon that you can obtain in the game. You can find the monsters, among other places, in the wild, in raids, through special research, or through evolution. In the ranking, we based ourselves on the values of the respective monsters and their movesets.
The best Crypto Grass attackers and the best Mega Pokémon of the Grass type are not included in this ranking and we will address these at the end of the article.
1. Roserade
Best moveset: Leaf Blade and Vine Whip
The flower-like Pokémon Roserade comes from the 4th generation of games and belongs to the Grass and Poison types. It has the two pre-evolutions Budew and Roselia.
Roserade is particularly impressive with a high attack value. This is even a slightly better than that of Zarude. However, it is slightly weaker in stamina and defense. With its fast attack Leaf Blade, it deals significant damage to the opponent.
Can you catch Shiny Roserade? No, but you can catch Shiny Roselia and then evolve it into Roserade. The Shiny Roserade has a purple and black flower on its arms.
2. Zarude
Best moveset: Vine Whip and Leaf Tornado
Zarude is a mysterious Dark and Grass Pokémon from the 8th generation of games. It made its debut in the 2021 Jungle Event and could previously be obtained once in the special research “Search for Zarude”.
Zarude has high attack and stamina values. Its defense is solid. With Vine Whip and Leaf Tornado, it has two relatively fast attacks. However, since the Pokémon has only been available once, you had to be lucky to obtain a strong specimen.
Is there a Shiny Zarude? No, Zarude is not yet available in its shiny form in the game.
3. Kapu-Toro
Best moveset: Seed Bomb and Vine Whip
Kapu-Toro is a legendary Pokémon from the 7th generation of games and belongs to the Grass and Fairy types. It is the guardian of Ula-Ula Island and has neither pre-evolutions nor further evolutions.
With its attack and defense values, it can score well. Especially in attack, it is slightly stronger than Zarude and Roserade. Additionally, with Seed Bomb and Vine Whip, it has a relatively fast moveset, but it does deal slightly less damage.
Is there Shiny Kapu-Toro? Sadly, Kapu-Toro cannot be caught in its shiny form in the game yet.
4. Kapilz
Best moveset: Seed Bomb and Vine Whip
Kapilz is the evolution of Knilz and belongs to the Grass and Fighting type Pokémon. It can not only impress among the top Grass Pokémon, but also is one of the 10 best Fighting-type attackers.
Kapilz stands out with a high attack value. This is only slightly worse than Zarude’s. However, in battles, it does not hold up very well, which is why it does not stay by your side for long.
Like Kapu-Toro, it has a moveset of Seed Bomb and Vine Whip, which, while relatively fast, also deals relatively little damage.
Is there Shiny Kapilz? Yes, you can catch a shiny Knilz and then evolve it into Kapilz. You can recognize the shiny form by its orange body.
5. Tangoloss
Best moveset: Vine Whip and Solar Beam
The Grass Pokémon Tangoloss is the evolution of Tangela. It comes from the 4th generation of games. It has solid attack and defense values and excels particularly in stamina. This makes it relatively sturdy, allowing it to stay with you longer in battles.
Its charged attack Solar Beam deals significant damage to the opponent, but takes relatively long to charge. It can, however, shine with its quick fast attack Vine Whip.
Can you catch Shiny Tangoloss? Shiny Tangoloss is already available in the game. To get it, you first need to catch a shiny Tangela. You can recognize it by its green body.
6. Bisaflor
Best moveset: Vine Whip and Flora Statue
Another strong Grass attacker is Bisaflor. The final evolution of the starter Pokémon Bulbasaur from the first generation belongs to the Grass and Poison types. Similar to Tangoloss, it has solid values in attack and defense but can also take slightly less damage.
It can score points with its moveset of Vine Whip and Flora Statue. This provides it not only with a quick fast attack but also allows it to deal significant damage with its charged attack. Bisaflor is also a Pokémon that is relatively easy to obtain in the game and should therefore not be missing from your team.
Can you catch Shiny Bisaflor? Yes, Shiny Bisaflor can be caught with a bit of luck after completing a corresponding Mega Raid. Alternatively, you can catch a shiny Bulbasaur and evolve it into Bisaflor. You can recognize the shiny by its green body and the yellow flower on its back.
7. Gewaldro
Best moveset: Seed Bomb and Flora Statue
The Grass Pokémon Gewaldro comes from the 3rd generation of games and has the two pre-evolutions Treecko and Grovyle. In terms of attack and stamina, Gewaldro has solid values, but its defense is somewhat worse, making it take less damage.
It can score points, however, with its event charged attack Flora Statue. This attack is relatively quickly charged and deals significant damage to the opponent.
Can you catch Shiny Gewaldro? To get Shiny Gewaldro, you must first catch a shiny Treecko and evolve it accordingly. You can recognize the shiny Gewaldro by its blue body.
8. Celebi
Best moveset: Leaf Tornado and Leaf Storm
The mysterious Pokémon Celebi belongs to the Psychic and Grass types. It has no pre- or further evolutions and was previously only available in special research in the game. This small monster scores primarily in stamina, but its attack and defense are also solid.
With its moveset of Leaf Tornado and Leaf Storm, it deals a significant amount of damage to the opponent, although it does take some time for Leaf Storm to charge.
Is there Shiny Celebi? Yes, the shiny Celebi was already able to be caught once through the special research “A Shiny Distraction”. Unlike its normal form, the shiny is pink.
9. Folipurba
Best moveset: Leaf Blade and Leaf Blade
Another good Grass attacker that you can easily secure is Folipurba. The Grass Pokémon is one of the 8 evolutions of Eevee and comes from the 4th generation of games.
Its values in attack, defense, and stamina are solid. With its moveset of Leaf Blade and Leaf Blade, it also deals significant damage to the opponent. Additionally, you can perform Leaf Blade relatively quickly.
Can you catch Shiny Folipurba? If you catch a shiny Eevee, you can evolve it into a Shiny Folipurba. It can only be distinguished from the normal form by its slightly darker body.
10. Chelterrar
Best moveset: Leaf Blade and Flora Statue
Chelterrar is the final evolution of Chelast. The Pokémon of the Grass and Ground type comes from the 4th generation of games. It can especially impress with its strong stamina. Its attack and defense are solid. With Leaf Blade and Flora Statue, it also deals significant damage to the opponent.
Is there Shiny Chelterrar? Yes, you first need to catch a shiny Chelast and then evolve it into Chelterrar. The shiny has not only a green back but also greenish legs, and the tree on the side of its body is entirely green.
Best Crypto Grass Attackers
- Crypto-Tangoloss with Vine Whip and Solar Beam
- Crypto-Bisaflor with Vine Whip and Flora Statue
- Crypto-Chelterrar with Leaf Blade and Flora Statue
- Crypto-Kokowei with Seed Bomb and Solar Beam
Why are Crypto Pokémon worth it? Unlike other Pokémon, Crypto Pokémon benefit from a 20 percent attack bonus. Thus, they deal more damage to the opponent in battle. However, they also take less damage and do not stay with you as long. Nevertheless, it is worth using them in raids.
Best Mega Grass Attackers
- Mega-Bisaflor with Vine Whip and Flora Statue
- Mega-Rexblisar with Leaf Blade and Energy Ball
Why are Mega Pokémon worth it: In Pokémon GO, there are various monsters that have a so-called Mega Evolution. They can be temporarily evolved using Mega Energy and are somewhat stronger.
Furthermore, attacks that are of the same type as that of the Mega Pokémon receive an additional boost. This means that in battle, not only their own but also the attacks of other monsters of this type are strengthened.
Since both Mega-Bisaflor and Mega-Rexblisar belong to the Grass type, their use in raids is definitely worthwhile.
