Top 5 Grass Types in Pokémon

It's no secret that I'm a huge Pokémon fan. With so many Pokémon of so many different types out there, it can be quite daunting narrowing down your favourites. But I'm going to give it a try, kicking things off with the Grass type. 

Now there's actually not a lot of Grass types I really like so three of these five are Starters. But only one is the fully evolved form!

5) Swadloon

My love of Swadloon sort of came out of nowhere. I used a Sewaddle in one of my playthroughs of Black2 and I really didn't expect to like its whole evolution line so much!

Swadloon's design is simply adorable: it's all cuddes up in its little leaf with a grumpy little look on its face... my heart just melts!

4) Grotle

The first of the three starters on this list is Grotle, the evolved form of Turtwig. I love the Gen 4 games and all the Sinnoh Starters, and with Chimchar and Piplup I like the mid-stages the least. However that's not the case with Turtwig.

I'm not 100% sure what it is about Grotle but it's my favourite of the Turtwig line. I love its design and personality and whenever I've used one in Gen 4 it's always come out on top for me. 

3) Leafeon

Another Gen 4 and my favourite Eeveelution of them all... Leafeon! I adore Leafeon's design since it looks elegent and beautiful like most Eeveelutions but it also had a hint of power about it.

That leaf on its head (although pretty) looks like a deadly, razor-sharp weapon in my eyes. I still stand by my belief that we should have had Leafeon in Gen 1 instead of Jolteon... or at least had four Eeveelutions. We all tried to use Leaf Stone on Eevee, don't deny it! 

2) Rowlet

"Wait... not Decidueye? But it's all over your profile pics!?" That's true, but I love Decidueye for its Ghost typing (spoiler alert for that Top 5!) so that's why Rowlet takes this spot. Infact, Rowlet is my new favourite "basic stage" Starter!

Its entire personality is just so adorable yet amazingly cool at the same time. The way it tilts its head, the way it narrows its eyes... I want one in real life! And they got Rowlet's anime adaptation down perfectly!

I've been obsessed with this little guy ever since that first Sun & Moon trailer and he is definitely deserving of my Number 2 spot.

1) Sceptile

The big bad gecko of Hoenn takes the gold as my favourite Grass type! There's a number of reasons for this...

First of all Treeko is my favourite Hoenn starter. Second, Sceptile's design is near perfect (the pink stripe bugs me for some reason). And third: it is hard as nails!

Most the Grass starters are slow and bulky whilst packing a punch but Sceptile doesn't have time for that nonsence! It runs rings around its opponents, Leaf Blading and Leaf Storming its way to victory.

With the reveal of Mega Blaziken we all knew Sceptile and Swampert would receive Megas in ORAS too. And although Mega Swampert's design is flawless in my eyes, Mega Sceptile looks pretty darn bad ass too! Plus it was really refreshing to give it a second type, that makes sense, in the form of Dragon.
