Grass-Type Pokémon Cards
Grass is the Pokémon TCG's green type: plant and Bug Pokémon such as Venusaur, Leafeon and Scyther. Its decks are good at healing and at putting extra Grass Energy into play, and nearly every Grass card shares one Weakness, Fire.
Grass at a Glance
Standard figures count every Pokémon legal in Standard on October 15, 2026, each card once however often it was reprinted. Printing figures count every English printing.
How Grass Plays
Grass decks are built around getting more Energy into play than the one-a-turn attachment allows. Teal Mask Ogerpon ex attaches a Basic Grass Energy from your hand once a turn and draws a card, Hydrapple ex attaches another and heals 30, and Mega Venusaur ex can move Basic Grass Energy between your Pokémon as often as you like. Many Grass attacks then count that Energy: Hydrapple ex's Syrup Storm does 30 more for each Grass Energy on all your Pokémon.
Healing is the type's other habit. Mega Venusaur ex heals 30 from itself each time it attacks, and Leafeon ex's Moss Agate heals 100 from each of your Benched Pokémon. A Grass deck often wins by making the opponent's two-hit Knock Outs into three-hit ones.
Things to Know About Grass Pokémon Cards
- Almost every Grass Pokémon in Standard is weak to Fire, so a Fire deck is the matchup Grass players worry about first.
- Grass hits Fighting and Darkness Pokémon for Weakness, which covers most of the Rock, Ground and Dark Pokémon in the card game.
- Basic Grass Energy is one of the eight Basic Energy cards, so a Grass deck can run as many as it likes.
- Poison types were Grass in the original 1999 sets, which is why Base Set Nidoking and Koffing are Grass cards.
