There is an abundance of Pokemon types and move types in Pokemon GO, creating heated battle scenarios in the game. The Augmented Reality title boasts an immense pool of events and PvP matches for players to indulge in. Every Pocket Monster has one or two elemental types that make them weaker to some attacks and resistant to others, and impacts which types they deal extra damage to.
One of the most-popular types is Grass-type in Pokemon GO. Multiple monsters fall into the Grass-type category, and different monsters have different power levels. Dual-typed Grass-type Pokemon are also common. Among them, these are some of the best Grass-types in the game.
